After our trip to Wales on way home a posse of lads 'gits' chased us down in our Zetec S Fez (which Steve has done up very nicely with red badge overlays, decals ZSOC website and mk2 design features). Looks lovely.
We don’t drive quickly, especially when im poorly - and with our dog in car too. We don’t thrash our cars about (unless with other enthusiasts and its then for fun and organized) but never in spite or in public for envy.
These lads drove up to side on dual carriageway, spat, threw rubbish and shouted abuse. Why?? We did NOTHING, really nothing, to provoke them.
A friend of my fellas, an online club member has just had his Fiesta totally ruined. Sprayed with nitro mousse -which is like silly string. (See ZSOC Zetec S Owners club). Paintwork all ruined to cost. Why?? Cos he happened to leave the lights quicker.
I have had other drivers up my tailpipe flashing me out they way - getting too close and forcing me to drive slower (slower yes to annoy them but more cos Im worried they will hit my rear-end). This happens ALL THE TIME! Why the hurry? I have no wish to be shunted thanks.
On the way to the cinema - a lad & lass in a 90's Honda all big exhaust noise and no trousers, a banger - sat neck & neck with my Puma at the lights, a merge left lane ahead Im in the left lane already. You guessed it - they nearly forced me into the bushes trying to get ahead and no due care. Why?? So id looks at the car and say 'wow look at that'? No I said something quite different!
Gentle reader, boy racers, girl racers of Project Puma you know I’m not having a pop at you! Its drivers who are impolite dangerous and scum. Remember...doesn’t matter if that person has a nice sporty car, doesn’t matter if they advertise a website or group. Think on, because that person might be me, or some with baby onboard or small children. I might not be able to work. I might not be able to get out of bed some days and some days I might be too ill to drive - but most days I am chuffed to be part of something - and that something is passing my test and having respect for other road users!!
Has anyone else suffered at the hands of these gits??
