Muppets in High Powered, Executive cars

Drummerboy08

Coming out of Bluebell industrial estate earlier, with a 5 series BMW stuck to my rear bumper. I was turning left towards the nangor road (opposite Toyota Ireland). Plenty of cars coming from the right, so i wait untill there is a gap.

Meanwhile, Muppet in the BMW starts flashing his lights, and beeping at me, trying to get me to move. I do get a gap, and pull out.

Then, from nowhere, the BMW 523i (caught it as it went by) decides its a great idea to overtake me. Bare in mind that there isnt a whole lot of room there, and there is alot of traffic around at half twelve. It is also a single white line, 150 yeards or so from a major junction.

I'd love to catch these big car driving, suit wearing cnuts someday.

Makes a change from the usual "muppets" thread.

Bing Bing....round 1

Yup plenty of muppets about these days, funny, they usually drive modded jap cars.

I would have got out of my car and asked what was wrong with him.

Never a good plan.

Good lord, maybe there should be a general stickied thread called "muppets in ANY sort of car" were people can post the horrific driving they see on a daily basis.

I was actually very close to doing it, but the fact that my manager was in the car, and the driver looked quite big put a stop to that.

And it was a bog standard 523i SE with horrible wheels on it.

Funny thing, the second thought that entered my head after "get out after him" was "this will prove the boardsies wrong"

It was a very good example of how muppets are not limited to modified cars.

Maybe not all of them, just the ones who drive like mentalists. Sorry about the tarred brush there. Got a bit excited....:o

LOL, anything for a good bicker, ye lot.:D

Schocking the way some people drive (all types of cars), there's a very aggressive tone to a lot of driving, courtesy seems to be a rarety lately.

So... the muppets who bought sh|te cars and put an exhaust on them, now have gotten cheap BMW's, but still drive like muppets?

Would love to get out of my car and go back to them, wearing a 3 holed balaclava, and holding an automatic shotgun... they wouldn't be flashing their lights at anyone after that

P.s. I look great in my suit. Don't hate the suits

Drummerboy08

Doubt a 06 523i was in the price range of a young fella who drives a GT Turbo...... And the suit, designer glasses, and nice hair cut gave it away.....

A 523i isn't high powered (~170bhp)!

Weird thing is though I was worried when buying my Integra Type R that people on the road would be totally ignorant to me, not let me out at junctions etc but since moving from the Focus I have actually noticed a lot more courtesy being given to me on the roads and I even have had middle aged to older men come over to me in car parks and ask about the car. (its the European edition round headlight version so some people dont even know what it is )

Was not what I was expecting at all

niceirishfella

The Muppets are here............?!?!?!? REALLY?



And they drive BMW's exclusively?
Wow - was it Kermit or Miss Piggy at the wheel OP?

Same here, I get let out of way more junctions etc etc. Recently in Mountrath at the XL petrol station or what ever it is some auld lad got out of his 08 S class and before going to the shop asked if his young lad could have a pic sitting in the car.

Its still more powerful than a large selection of cars the Irish motoring public drive, the circa 100bhp car is king in Ireland

Thats not a fair statement to make.:mad:

Gary ITR

But muppets come in all shapes sizes and colours. And they get to wherever they are going in all sorts of cars. Some of them even take the bus

spadder

ah jaysis, leave the muppet bus out of this

I had a fella cut onto wrong side of road & drive up a good 50 metres to the right hand turn junction just to avoid queing an extra 30 seconds. Unfortunatly for him my lights went green so I put the foot down & drove right at him, he promptly swerved back into traffic, went white & probably ****ed himself. Hopefully he will think twice before doing it again. The amount of people happy to drive on wrong side of road to save a minute max in traffic is disgraceful.
Just so its relevant to this thread he was driving a 08 lexus

thalia_13

same kinda story here, this morning driving from Allenwood, was stuck behind 3 artics in a row. fair enough that road is pretty crap at the best of times to get an overtaking opportunity. I decided to stay behind as traffic coming towards me was heavy (schools etc) and I knew I'd be chancing my arm trying to overtake 2 artics let alone the 3rd one without having a car meet me!

But do you think that logic applied to the man behind me in the s-class merc? god no, he was up the back of me quite tight to my bumper, which on those dippy/bumpy roads is madness, or else he was veering into oncoming cars! He felt he had the right to flash and bully us all out of his way just because he was in a fancy car (IN HIS OPINION not mine!) and as he was wearing driving gloves no less, he probably thought he deserved to be on the road more, as only serious road users wear driving gloves :rolleyes:

I would have taken his number down at the traffic lights in allenwood or prosperous to report him for bad driving but he was too tight to my bumper to see it. I did get a lovely view of his fake tan (too orange to be real!) and his lovely mutton chop sideburns, as well as his leather driving gloves. I just dont understand the need to bully and push your way through traffic, fair enough you spent a fortune on the car, and yeah sure in some cases they are impressive to look at. but the day your idiotic driving kills someone, be it an innocent car user, a passenger in your car or even yourself, having owned the flashiest car ever will have gotten you nowhere.

Sorry for bit of a rant there, friend was involved in accident 2 yrs ago with a plonker in a 5 series actin the mick on the road, and overtaking into oncoming traffic. My friend was not badly hurt thank god, but just the carnage that the accident left, and seeing how little protection a car really offers when some loon who has a fancy car he hasnt the skills to drive efficiently and safely, hits it.. well I am sure alot of boardsies have seen it for themselves.

and as for boy racers well I know a few that some may classify as 'boy racers' simply due to the car they own. I know those cars are their pride and joy, they never race or act the goon on main roads, and would prob have a fit if a cat was within 50 yards of the car, for fear of a scratch or mucky pawprint. I think boy racers/car enthusiasts get unfairly tarred with the same brush as village idiots in souped up micras, racing around housing estates.. my point here being, I have been run off the road by a twat in his mammys corsa, but not really experienced a hell of alot of car enthusiasts do the same

oh rant over sorry for the length

I wonder was it the same entry-level 5-series driving suit wearing middle aged wraparound-wearing bald muppet who hitched on to the rear bumper of my car all the way south into Castledermot at the w/e.
As you leave the village, there was a timber lorry looking to get out of a junct on my left (just before the start of the Carlow by-pass motorway), and I figured as the traffic was crawling I'd be a Christian, and the motorway was only 1/2 mile up the road anyway.
Well, yer man nearly lost the plot! I was sure he's get out of the car and come up to me.

2 mins later we were on the motorway and I moved to overtake the truck, accelerating as fast as I could. Again, I wasn't doing it nearly fast enough and got lots of horm and flashing
He disappears at a million MPH.

about 10km down the road he was pulled for speeding.

A mate of mine decided, donkeys years ago, to take the p*ss out of the car stopped in font at lights. Beeped the horn, flashed the lights etc. Eventually your man in front got out, and my mate (hardy little git) wound down the window to apologise.....never got the chance........the guy clean punched his lights out throught the open window, then calmly walked back to his own car and drove away. Oh, how we laughed......

In my younger days, my mates and I used to drive up behind each other and bump each other out into intersections. Thankfully, none of us ever got the wrong car.

So, only one muppet and only one (not that powerful) car then? So thread title should really be "muppet in car".

Does the quote below ring any bells? Remember who made it?

I think its very unfair to judge someone from the car they drive.

I remember an angry (and obviously some what mad in the head) getting out of his car and urinating on the window of a fella beeping behind him. Not a pretty sight. Didn't stay around to see the outcome.

Yep it does. This thread was supposed to prove to the "boy racer" bashers that it is not only the young fella's who are dangerous behind the wheel. That quote was designed to be a bit cheeky, and to take the piss out of the other thread. Maybe it didnt work like that, but it was meant to be sarcasm.

Amen to that! last week a friend of mine was getting flashed and beeped at by a guy in a van behind him that did not like his driving....my buddy decided to hop out at the traffic lights to explain himself...long story short, the van-maniac smashed my friends back and front windows with a tyre iron!!!!

On a happy note the cops were called and told my friend that the maniac would be looking at a serious prosecution if he doesn't offer big compensation, must find out how much he is offering

well they ussually are muppets like you, who judge all drivers of same car, but you here spitted even more vomit...

Have nothing to say, say nothing.

p.s. i dont drive modded car, and i have seen alot of fellas in modded cars, who are actually nice and polite. Ofc there are **** aswell, but no need to judge all of them...

On topic: same, there are **** in executive cars, and theres alot of **** on puntos and focus.

Years ago when a passenger in a car driven by a farmer relative, a guy came up behind us with much sounding of horn at a junction. My relative stopped and got out. The other guy was obviously expecting big trouble, but my relative simply leaned on his window and said gently "So, what else did you get for Christmas?" The expression on the other guy's face was priceless:D
