Does anyone else get this...since getting my S3 I get every boy racer in any area I am drive up my ****?
The other day I took a parent shopping so 50mph for 10 miles then motorway...for the entire 50mph (average speed) I had a fiesta ST lookalike sat about half a foot from my back bumper with the driver from time to time gesticulating at me to "go on" I was in the inside lane of a dual carriageway, empty lane next to me he could have used. My car in quiet mode (comfort) so no popping or anything.
Earlier today I get to a nice twisty b road I know and along comes a DS3 and again sits so close to my rear bumper throughout the whole twist section that I couldn't see his headlights or even his bonnet, just his windscreen, felt like I couldn't brake because he was that close, i had to let off the throttle and coast, long straight after so foot down and surprise surprise he couldn't keep up... then twists again and back at it.
Sometimes I feel like I can't enjoy driving anymore as these nobs always want to race me or something and it's mostly in cars that couldn't dream of keeping up. Whereas Focus ST/RS's or the equivalent always follow me with a healthy gap.
Also twice I've had people follow me home, I live in a weird place geographically and I've had to do some considerable detours near home including doing full circles of roundabouts and back and forth on the same interlink roads for them to still follow me and so had put my foot down to lose them before coming home.
It's getting quite annoying now.
I mean it's an S3 nor an R8 for ***** sake.
