Totally out of character


1 Bravo 6

Recommended Posts

I decided to take my "Precious" for a run today. In total we covered about 200 kms., of which 5 kms was up Mount Morgan, with steep, hairpin bends. (Mount Morgan is just outside Rockhampton, Central Queensland).

We'd just started the climb when a Skyline came up behind, tailgating me. Now, I don't like that so I added a little more speed. The bugger tailgated me again. Once again I gave it a bit more pedal and, again, the bugger tailgated me.

Now, .... normally, I'm a pretty sedate driver. I stick to the speed limits and drive in a responsible manner, but this bloke gave me the tom tits. He was really enjoying himself. I could see him in the rear view mirror, a wide grin on his face, laughing with his mates at how he was giving the old bloke a hard time.

I'd had enough of his crap, so I piled on the revs and left him with a retinal image of "Precious'" tail lights.

At the top of the mountain, there's a scenic lookout where I stopped the car, got out, leaned against the car and waved as he finally went past.

He wasn't smiling. Obviously hasn't much of a sense of humour. LOLLOL

Rick:

Maybe I'm just being obtuse, but I fail to see why it's out of character. I think you performed EXACTLY as you should have, leave him eating your dust. (Note to self / others: Always be careful!)

Personally, I would have made it obvious that I was laughing at him and his car as he drove by......LOL

I had a similar thing happen to me the weekend before last when I was out in my Z.

Like you, I'm a damn good driver and don't have one thing on my record. not even a ticket :) But like with you, this d*** head wouldn't quit.

I was on a country road just out cruisin in my Z minding my own business enjoying my baby on a beautiful afternoon and there was a 4 way stop ahead. I got to the stop sign first before this punk a$$ kid in a V8 mercury all pimped out to the left of me so I go first. He then gets behind me and starts this tail gating bullsh!t which I cannot stand so like you did, I bump up my speed and dumbsh!t does the same and this kept going on and on stopping me from enjoying the scenery and as I looked in my rear view mirror he was doing the same damn thing smirking and laughing so finally I said to myself, "Ok you little bastard, Enough is enough so I gave my Z more gas and left him back further so he starts putting his foot into it to keep up, I then down shifted into 4th and as i did I whispered to myself ZZZZEEEEE Ya :devious: He could NOT come near me and he was really trying hard to pull around me. I then made a right onto another road heading back towards my house and of course, he follows me. this was a two lane road now and we hit another stop sign. He gets over in the right along side of me and of course With my orig. early 5 speed and 3.9 diff I drop him like a sack of bricks as I take off and there were S curves ahead. Thats where I lost him for good and never saw him again. :devious:

Normally I NEVER let morons like that get to me. and I usually say "Yeah, your not worth my time. Go and get the hell away from me" but that smart a$$ smirk on his face just pushed me past my breaking point.

You mess with the bull, you get the horns right Rick :rambo:

He wanted to play so he got what he asked for. hes just mad that he lost and hes driving a skyline. After all, with all the things people do to they're z u dont always drive the speed limit. Sometimes u cant LOL :laugh:

stories like these make me want to wish that z was done! :ermm:

Enrique,

A couple of weeks ago I took "Precious" for a run into Rockhampton, (about 45 kms away), and was sitting at the lights waiting for the green light when a bloke pulled up beside me, smiled, and tapped the foot feed a couple of times.

It was obvious what he meant. I just smiled and shook my head. On the green light we just rolled off in my normal sedate manner. I had nothing to prove. Besides, he was only driving a Holden Torana. ROFLROFL

Bryan,

My "She Who Must Be Obeyed" gave the car the nick name of "Precious". I'm still not sure whether it's because she knows the car is "Precious" to me or because of the money I've spent.

No idea as to the model mate. It was an early one though, square, box like shape.

About 12 months ago I explained that we Australian blokes, (especially us old farts), sometimes use a rhymeing slang called "Strine". For example;

Tit for Tat = Hat.

Frog and Toad = Road.

Get the picture ????????????

ERGO, Tom Tits = the SHITS. ROFLROFL

Rick.

Well you had me tricked Rick! As soon as I saw the reference to "Precious" my mind immediately conjured up images of "Gollum" from "Lord of the rings" with his fixation on "My Precious!", an all absorbing ring he fished out of a river (when he was known as Smeagol).

.....And here's me imagining Rick walking around talking to himself, doing a passable impersonation of poor little Gollum LOL
