They got creamed Haha!!!

Me and R Lass decided to go for a bit of a drive out this morning. Not too far as she had to go into work this afternoon but still managed to get onto a few nice country lanes.
Now I wasn't out for a blast, just a run out to get away from the house and have a peaceful morning pottering about.
As I got onto the first country lane I was behind a Land Rover doing a steady 37/38 MPH in a 40 limit, fine by me.
It seems however that the *BLEEP*er who came flying up behind me in a Corolla D4D wanted to go faster. I had left about 4 car lengths between me and the Landy (the roads were damp by the way) and the roads were only wide enough to have about 18-20 inches between cars when they were passing, and of course nice and twisty.
Now the 4 lads in the car were acting suspicious anyway but what they did next ASTOUNDED me.
At first I thought they were trying to roll their (the) car as they pulled out so eractically they must have bottomed out their suspension on the passenger side then they proceded to overtake me in a gap that even I wouldn't have tried it in. Subsequently they squeazed inbetween me and the Landy so I duely back off a little to watch what they were going to do next...after a little shuffling about by the 2 lads in the back and giving me a good eyeing up...
...of course they did the most sensible thing and overtook the Landy on a blind bend, how stupid of me not to realise :
Ah well, let them on their merry way.
We got onto a nice straight bit of road, wide enough to overtake without caring, long enough to see I had about 2 weeks to overtake the Landy and it was hitting a 60 limit. So, I pull out to check and decided to back off...for some reason the Corolla was coming in the opposite direction and then pulled into a lay by :

We carried on our merry way, up to the Roundabout and turned Right, stopped off for a Bacon Butty and a Coffee and then at a Forecourt to look at some cars. While browsing the cars on offer there must have been 7-8 Police Cars flying back the way we had come
I knew where/why they were going up that way. We chose to follow their direction after 5 minutes browsing and again were pootling along, slowing down from 60 as there was a 30 limit coming up and next thing.........what's that?
Ah well, they had it coming. Said Corolla was upside down on the grass verge
OK, so the owner who had had their car nicked did not deserve some little scrote putting it flip side in a ditch but the pricks in it deserved to crash
Now without thinking I got on the blower to the Plod (If only I had taken pics first ) and at the same time got out of my car to check they weren't actually in the wrecker.
'How stupid' came the thought when I was at the other side of the road.
'They may just be hiding in a ditch somewhere close'
I got back in my car and locked the doors LOL while trying to tell the lady on the phone where I was (quietish country lane) While I was explaining a plod car turned up...fook me, that was quick response for a change

Anyway, the Sergeant took me to his car and took a statement off me.Only took about 3-4 minutes but by the time I had finished the traffic around was at a near stand still all because there were at least 12 traffic cars and a Chopper hovering above

So not really eventfull but never the less it brightened up my day a little to see that the little gits had been hurt I just hope they eventually were caught

Wow sounds like your drive out was more exciting than ours.  We took a trip up to Teeside for lunch, and god on the way we must of either got stuck behind or passed at least 30 caravans    I got so fed up in the end that people werent overtaking them I spotted an opportunity at the top of a hill and took a couple of cars and a caravan just to get up past 35mph!

I did have a little fun on the way back as I also had a little scrote up my backside on twisty roads, who overtook us thinking he'd just blown a GT4 off the road  I dont mind having a little fun, but overtaking on a blind bend isnt my thing so I waited till the time was just right, then before he could even realise it, I was passing him and the car in front of him  He tried to get back up my aris as we came off a roundabout, but i just left him in a spray of water so he decided after that to leave well alone.  He really wasnt happy though when he saw it was a women driving 

Hope they catch that little *BLEEP*es that nicked the car, the poor owners must be gutted, I feel very sorry for them

Sounds like everyone has had an interesting day, all I've done is sterilise the beer barrel before I syphon the homebrew in to it :

[Jools]

Should have got off ya backside and actually driven one of your fours to the meet then!! 

It ain't fast if it's parked up at your house mate!!

[ChrisW]

I was very tempted, tho thought it better to wait on Cee during the day, cups of tea and such like. Anyway, had I driven one down then, surely, I would still have been on my backside

[Dee]

Looking after the good lady always comes first mate, Jools did just the same for me while I was very ill, turned the tables now though, I'm doing all the nursing while he's chauffered about    He says he's missing driving, but I'm not so sure................

[Jools]

It's all wicked lies - I hate being driven around, scoffing food and drinking beer!!! it's horrid! 

In all truth, much as I appreciate Dee's taxi service, I am a crap passenger - I hate not being behind the wheel, and I miss my faff and my bike. Just hope it won't be a lot longer before I get some movement back! 

[Dee]

I have to say as much as I LOVE driving my 185 all over, I am missing being driven around in the faff especially when Jools decides its time to play, we're all routing for you babes, and I know you have the will to make that arm work best it can
