I had reason to head up to Norwich today and head back home via a couple of places in Suffolk and home back here in Essex in time for tea.
The day has been great, warm, blue sky and the driving the car was a dream with ‘most’ people behaving themselves.
Heading up to Norwich I was held up at 3 different sets of roadworks and by this time I was crossing my legs and bursting for a piss, I was running late and the only toilets I know about on the A140 was the WC at the Lotus Dealer in Long Stratton, so I stopped off there for a piss and after washing my hands nipped into the showroom to admire the new �41k Exige Type 72, only 20 made (apprantely).
Wish I had �41k to spunk on a new Exige… lovely in the flesh, very nice.
Anyway, on the way home on the A143 � a road I know very well, I had a chance to stretch the Exige�s legs and overtook (when safe) a line of 2 trucks and about 2-3 cars, one of which was a 58 plate BMW who was a few cars ahead of me and kept looking out into the oncoming lane for a safe place to overtake (he was too close to the truck in front to get a good view of the road ahead).
I saw an opportunity, indicated , dropped a cog and pulled out to get pass the queue of traffic.
Later, as I�m going a some obscene 3 figure (indicated) speed the BMW gets passed the queue and catches me up as me again at the end of another slowish queue of traffic, this time he drops a cog and gets passed me and pulls in front of (oncoming traffic) me forcing me to brake… not too suddenly but enough for me to gesticulate �nutter� (pointing my finger to me temple) and mouthing �TOSSER�… after a few seconds he puts on his blue & reds on in the rear screen for a couple of seconds and with that he dropped a few more cogs and was gone (with the full what of the law behind him).
He had a car full so I guess I was small fry.
So if you see a silver 3 series AU58 plate BMW in Suffolk then slow down, you might catch him on an off day.
