Thought I'd share this one with you all. Driving along yesterday afternoon, I passed through a 40kmph school zone, and dropped to the appropriate limit, as did another 6 or 7 cars around me.

In my mirror I saw this BMW Z3 approaching at speed, come up quickly behind me, cut up the inside, then cut me up to pull back in front and belt away. I gave him a little flash of my lights, for him to wave his arms about yada yada yada as is the normal response.

It was quite fullfilling to catch up to him at the next traffic lights, for him to tell me to get my piece of crap off the road, and to drive a proper car. I in turn advised him that it wouldn't be nice for him to make the news after knocking down a child in a school zone. This fired him up more, telling me about my worthless car...... I didn't have the heart to tell him that he was driving one of BMW's great hairdressers cars, and that in 5 years time, my Cab would be worth more than his Z3. Ahhhh life....you've got to laugh.

The last laugh went to me as I lobbed the piece of chewie out of my mouth, and onto the bonnet of his car as he turned off. I wonder if he's found it yet, or managed to scrape it off.

Am I a bad boy?

Squiz......

i totally agree about the hairdressers bit (unless it had the M badge.... anything with the M badge is fine by me), i went to germany a few years ago and LMAO when i saw the entry level Z3's there were sold with steel wheels. strike a pose baby.

ps. IMO anyone driving like that in a school zone deserves to be kneecapped.

I checked.....not an M at all. Even still, not an excuse.

Squiz.....

LOLOL good one!

Those BMW drivers are a world of their own. Have you noticed that about 95% of ppl who drive a beemer shouldnt have their licence?

Love the chewie bit !
well..............Love it all !

Serious attitude problem. but he may never wake up to himself. Glad you were able to avoid him hitting you.

Most BMW's won't be around in 5 years.
They are the only German car not acid bathed at "birth".

That's why you don't see to many old ones around.
They've returned to the earth.....

Spook not to rain on your parade, but I think you are a little ill informed, In fact the BMW carries a 6 year anti corrision warranty from new. Also most vulnerable panels are Gal dipped along with an extensive use of alluminium parts.

There are I admight very few 1927 Dixi's still on the road, but hey, I think there are few 1927 anything still on the road.

Anyway, I think to Tar every BMW driver with the same brush is quite small minded, to suggest the marque is doomed to a rusty death is uneducated.

Just my Humble opinion!!

Good job with the chewing gum! I hate people like that. I mean i'm trying to get my full liscence and I go along some sections of road in a 40 zone doing 40 and i'm the only one doing the right thing and following the speed limit. It's just irritating.

They didn't used to be, which is why you dont see many from the 70's in good nick.

That guy deserves the old smelly kipper in the air vent trick for driving so wrecklessly in a school zone!

BMW drivers are a law unto themselves!

Get a Kombi - people tend to get out of your way !

What a moron. I wonder where the cops are when you need them - would have been even better to see that tosser pulled over a few km down the road.

I get this sort of treatment all the time by pissed off commodore drivers.
Driving a 36hp bug and living in the Dandenongs, causes a lot of road rage. Going 40kph up long hills tends to make the people behind me a little hot and bothered.

should of brought the club lock out maa but the chewy was a good idea. ppl like that should have their kids hit by cars in their own skool zone just to teach them a lesson.

No one should have their kids hit in school zones, even dickheads like that.

Hope he comes a cropper one day though and dents his beloved car and his pride.
