i love squeezing through ridiculously tight gaps left by cars turning right! that soon gets rid of the tailgaters! never ever feel intimidated when driving but i drive for a living so nerves don't really come into it!

I just enjoy driving it in general. I refuse to be intimidated - I just don't give in to people because they are bigger than me. Mums taking their sprogs to school in X5s seem to be worst at it. They're the ones driving a 4x4, why should I drive in the mud?

I love driving mine. I don't feel bullied at all. However I do think BMW drivers are bullys and all drive like they own the road, but that's my own opinion don't know about you's.

I suppose I notice it more as I don't drive that often (well I would drive more often but the mini has other ideas) although when I do I try and pick quieter times or routes.

Although I do tend to drive more aggressively and try to take the temptation out of squishing past or unnecessary overtaking.
Like holding my ground down twisty lanes forcing the other person to slow down (well I hope they will) and one of my pet hates is queue jumpers, although the way I deal with those is to move over slightly so they can’t get pas to push in front.

Roundabouts, just have to get used to it or move somewhere else as there no getting away from the things near me.

I feel cold because my heater doesnt work!!

I wont put up with *poo* from other drivers, especially if they try to bully me into pulling over to let them by. Its quite amusing when u beat a BMW 5series off the line lol
