I just nipped down to Blockbusters to buy another Xbox controller with my brother and his mate, when I was driving down this road - which has an island down the center - and two cars driving like idiots on the other side of the road turned 180 right up the back of my car, an inch away from my bumper and were weaving in and out behind me. Then the nearest car undertook me revving his engine even though there were parked cars coming up, so I slowed right down from 30 to about 20 so he had to pull back in behind me, staying an inch from my bumper the whole time. I then indicated right and did a U turn through a gap in the island and they both beeped and wheel span off.

Its shaken me up a little, I dont know why because at the time I was alright. But its intimidation I suppose. But really, what do they want me to do. This happened to my mate in the same place a couple of months ago, but they clipped the back of his Cooper 500 when he turned into his street.

It would be an understatement to suggest I was and no doubt if they had hit my car they would of just driven off. Maybe if I was in the country side and my car was ready I would of put my foot down, but through a city its absolutely stupid. SCUM BAGS.

Sounds like they wouldnt have the balls to carry bats (sorry about the pun)
Report them and the police should have a word, by the sounds of it thay are only about 12 and the sight of a copper may scare them.

Sound advise here,take their vehicle details and pass all information to the police.

Let them follow you to a sharp bend, use your gears, don't brake, it will almost certainly catch them out.....extreme ?

Not my fault if there not paying attention to the road

Speaking from experience??

Happens all the time where i live - would never do anything about it in my mini - not worth it in the slightest - why risk your mini so some little (insert swear word here) can get a thrill.

In my crap heap of a ford ka on the other hand!! Raced a few vtr's and new corsa sports with 17 year old kids in that thing round country roads wait till they catch up - Then leaned out the window and say "it's easy to drive daddys car in a strait line isn't it" and watch the face drop!

Daddy cars can be great, I love annoying the body kit briagade, I have 2.0 volvo T4 200+ bhp, looks like your average grandad car, bye bye boy racers. But back to the point, keep a look out for the car in question, pop into a supermarket and buy a fish, when they are not about cable tie it sonewhere under the car, near the exhaust would be good.
