You should pay more attention to what’s in front then ㋡On approach to a road narrowing, the superior German car coming the other way had priority.
So hung back to allow him to pass.
WCMUT?
As he did so, he looked down his nose, at me and my non superior car.
I had no option but to smile and give him a thumbs up, knowing full well
that my "inferior" car was much faster to 60 and much faster at the top end than his
Eh? he was in front but approachingYou should pay more attention to what’s in front then ㋡
I assumed all this “nose and thumb” contact was as you were passing ㋡. Round here, the most we do is a slight flicker of the index finger while still holding the wheel

I was watching that how I notice he was sneering.Round here, the most we do is a slight flicker of the index finger while still holding the wheel
Posh git, not everyone can afford flash cars.. To quote Sheridan Smith as Janet in an episode of Two Pints "That Lexus is just a Penis extension..."
I just thought he was funny

She's a trainer now so I expect the publicity will gain her a flood of new customers.

I too love my mx5.I do wish people could drop the chauvinist stuff, sexism, snobbery, inverse snobbery and sneering over cars and well, everything else really. It's silly and often smacks of jealousy or nastiness although obviously no one would ever admit to these feelings. I used to get this a lot in my rather modest cars. At first it was upsetting but later on I saw the perpetrators as what they were, rather sad and rather nasty little nobodies who couldn't compete with me for one line put downs when they'd got me in the mood.
And as this is the WCMUT thread not the whinge thread, I like small roadsters and I love my MX5 and I really don't care if people think it's for hairdressers because if that's true all it proves is that hairdressers know what makes a good car

It was probably leased....... & costing him an arm & a leg each month.......On approach to a road narrowing, the superior German car coming the other way had priority.

Probably scared of catching something from it
It was a typical Land Rover, it left it's mark wherever it went. Oil & other fluids mainly but it would shed mud, rust and flakes of NATO paint from time to time. The seals on the petrol tanks under the front seats weren't too good either so there was an 'odour' about it too.Probably scared of catching something from it
Always a bonus when something doesn't leak
Aw bless, 6 weeks old! So cute when they're that little.
I often park so far from supermarket entrances a taxi to the door might be a good idea, but regardless of how many empty spaces there are around it invariably someone parks in the next space too, do they think their car car gets lonely, or do it to wind me up.Probably scared of catching something from it
Conversely, it seems no matter how much space is around my car when I park it,
When I come out of the supermarket, there is always one in the next bay.
Perhaps they are so impressed, they are hoping to breed from it
On one late night shop, around midnight, the car park was almost emptyI parked with several spaces either side of me.
In my experience most of our continental neighbours manage to speak english pretty well, their linguistic skills put us to shame.
I finally finished building my new viv. As long as the temps and humidity are still stable,
I'll move my new acquisitions in there, tomorrow
Probably a daft question but can Corn Snakes bite you? And if so, are they Poisonous?
