Thinkt he problem is.. you never pick on someone bigger than you, if your gonna pick on someone your gonna pick on someone smaller

Get used to it after a while, although the in the silver 1.2 corsa who clearly say me indicating to turn off the roundabout, stopped and them carried on, only to cut me and causing to lock up and almost crash into the back of it (don’t know how the hell I didn’t) only to catch up with it (surprising how fast a 998 mini can go when you need to ) a few miles down the road heading in the same direction for Santa pod and mini in the park.

Lol, that's a normal day of driving in Venezuela, regardless of what you drive people cut you off, but even more when you're in a mini.

Yes, I think we need to fit rocket launchers to our roofs.

I'm thinking a more stealth setup, hidding under the wings and the rocket tip sticking out instead of the turn signals.


I can hear the 007 soundtrack playing in the back of my head. lol

I dont get it much, think its cause I drive like a maniac! Not on purpose though mind!

[mini mark]

i dont like the way people are on the road the bigger they are the better they think they are like buses think they rule the roads a never let people go.

[chunkomunko]

I havn't been pulled out on much but people try and get past (try) when 2 lanes go into 1........dreamers!

Looks like this is universal. Some good points about the great things Mini's bring. Parking and weaving through traffic is my favourite Comeuppance

i drive a 21 foot van i think because its white its invisible because they do the same with the landcruiser so the minis blue

does anyone here use the big multi story car park in tunbridge wells? on every level theres 2 little spaces with the ticket machine 2 foot to the right and the exit door 3 feet in front, each clearly marked MINI in nice big white letters

HA, its funny you should say that

I insured my mini for a week and started driving it for everyday use again and noticed how many people pull out at juntions and round - a bouts last min and I thought to myself I wonder if they think ''oh its a mini, plenty of time, ill just go''

It really annoyed me, and it really wasnt me just imagining things, it happened a fair bit, and thats just in a week!!

I also noticed how drivers get up your arse a lot more to try and move you out the way. Even if I was over taking someone they would still be so close! Makes nervous in the mini because I dont want it damaged for a THIRD time!!!

[koomey]

hmmmmmmmm ....... ive been noticing this more and more recently, maybe ill get a really offensive sticker for my back window or just go really really slow when some idiot is tail-gating me

I had this, used to just go 10mph under the speed limit if it was solid white lines, then just speed of once i got to a national speed limit, not many of them coulp keep up when it got to the windy stuff, let alone drive up my backside! although, i drove a friends KA, and found myself driving up peoples bums a bit closer, just because the thing was so gutless! i didnt want to slow down because i knew it would take an age to get back up to speed, bad i know!

[minicooper1.3i]

My all time hate from other motorists, is the tailgating whilst i'm overtaking. When in my old 998 i just used to slow down, and down, and down, until going the same speed as the lorry (or whatever) I was passing. It's a double plus of it's a lorry because you p**s off the ponce behind, and boost your mpg by driving in the lorry's slipstream

Now in an MPi, if I'm a little...err.....agitated....it's slow down, change down, hold it.....wait for it......BOOT IT! Always takes 'em by surprise!

Back in the day..(late 90's) it was always big ugly arrogant looking BMW's. Now it's more like Lexus's a Audi's. I guess BMW have lost the fat cat company car top slot over the past 10 years or so.

My all time favourite revenge though is, as mentioned previously, the nipping up the inside of queueing cars and weaving between the petrol pumps to get out ahead of everyone esle

[wilcooper]

I like to go slow between and over speed bumps and see how annoyed cars get waiting behind me, its just my way of peeing others off who *yellow human water* me off.

[nurseholliday]

I've taken to making sure people know exactly what I think of their driving when they pull this little stunt.

Tell on? Just what do you do?

I've got a sign that I hold up. It's very simple,

"learn how to drive w****r."
