nothing angers me more when you overtake someone perfectly sensibly and you get some pratt flashing like a moron coming the other way when there is acres of room to spare.
I generally flash back and wave in a friendly manner at these people

People that go slow along main roads then when it opens out to a short stretch of dual carriageway speed off and my car cant summon the power to get past them. Then at the end of the dual carriageway they go slow again.
Damn my 1.2 engine

I drive really slow in my 1.2 16v clio just to piss people in faster cars off - it handles like a dung-wagon through the bends!!

Having a slower car infront really seems to irritate people
I went from 260bhp to 70bhp - the way people treat you on the road between the 2 is amazing

Any car feels slow after driving it for a bit.......get used to the speed & want more.

next car I get will be quickish but yeah anyone I've ever spoken to has always said you can never get enough. You always want more power whatever the car.
Suppose the good thing about not ever having a powerful car is that I cant miss power as I've never had it

its annoying when people who have cars that arn't slow drive slow!, i always think if i overtake they might speed up and then i'll just look daft. 
Or when someone is driving really slow but there is another car inbetween you and them and instead of them overtaking they hang really far back so you have to overtake them to overtake the problem.

Im suprised no-one has had anymore rants about Saxo drivers!! Perhaps it's just the area I live in, but every single one of them does like 90 in a 30... scumming around in 1st so EVERYONE can hear them coming, and generally racing every car out there until they meet something quicker..
and if they do meet something quicker which overtakes them, lets the car get infront.. build up sneaky speed from behind and overtake the car at 100mph when the other is doing like 40mph cus they had nothing else to prove...!! i hate saxo drivers!

if I see some boyracer behind i'll just leave my car in 2nd and cruise along just in case. Even if they had enough momentum already i'd still beat them as it'd be sat on the line ready to boost
