So there I was....... driving into Leeds on a Saturday night after a
cruising on the M1 for a couple of hours! My car was feeling nice as a few
hours of motorway driving opens up the engine/exaust a little...
People who know Leeds know its surrounded by Dual carrigeways,lights etc.....
I was at the lights when a MK5 pulls up fast beside me. A little ahead of me. Music thumping
through what sounded like a standard stereo.....you know that sound!
Get a couple of looks from the driver......
Baseball cap but worn like a chav (cap point way high)........he could
have been a chav but he was drving a MK5 so I gave hime some respect of
course.....But then again it could have been his daddys company car the
way he pulled up next to me.
He gives me a look a again to see if I wanted a go(fast) from the
lights. Now hes revving his engine and looking at my wheels. Probably
trying to work out what I'm driving.......I raised to the bait like a
fool......
His MK5 had hub caps so couldnt be more then a 1.6
or a standard TDI etc......
We both floor it...from the amber light.........Hes already a quarter of a car length infront as
he was at the lights. So I leave my 1.8T in first gear all the way till
5K......drop into second and pass him silly......... and hes in my rear
view mirror (bye I'm thinking).........I reach 60 as quick as a 1.8T can and slow down as:
A. The wifes complaining and
B. I just rode into town and didnt want to be taken in by the sherrif!
A couple of seconds later this nut in his MK5 who Ive just beaten from
the lights is right up my arse horning and flashing.......so I'm
thinking god what now.........I slow down to 40 (speed limit) and let
im pass......he decides to cut me up. He slows down infront of me and
making all kinds of signs.....braking like a monkey would in a
car.........anyway drop a cog and leave him again.....dont see him
after that as I think hes turning came. But my question is why???? I
left him cleanly at the lights, didnt cut him up or anything.....so I'm
still trying to work out why become an a - hole and decide to road rage
me?? Will make me think twice when I decide to take on a traffic light
challenge.
Theres my storey - otherwise had a great weekend!
