There’s always someone wanting to make a point. Round here’s its usually Fiesta ST’s.
I usually let it go, but have to admit to rising to some bait dangled in front of me on Friday evening.
Was driving my Persona, loaded-up on the way back from holiday, coming-up behind someone in an old Honda Ballade in the inside lane doing about 60 on a 70-limit dual carriageway and I intended to go past him as soon as was safe/convenient.
I chose not to straight away, as I could see in my mirrors an Astra estate bearing down the other lane at about 80, so as normal for me I let him pass before pulling-out behind him to overtake the Honda.
The Astra stayed in the overtaking lane for no good reason and let their speed drop a little. Was tempted to give him a quick flash after 10 seconds or so, but resisted. Another 10 seconds went by and no sign of him budging or speeding-up a bit, so then I did flash.
Perhaps not surprisingly, he indicated left and started to pull-over, but very obviously booted it as hard as at the same time.
Not good enough sonny - my family saloon may only have 113 BHP, but with vari-manifold it pulls quite hard at higher revs, combined with instant kick-down meant he was soon eating my dust - a fate I'm sure he'd assumed his '16' plate Astra was quick enough to avoid, the fool
... Weather was pretty awful and the wife had had enough... Lovely drive back in the 300.. so good to sit back and cruise but then it just delivers when you want to boot it a little 
. Tagged onto the back of a very nice looking 13 plate FR for a good few miles.... (Hello if you are on here haha)... We got joined by a rather beat up 57 plate ibiza for an impromptu Seat convoy in the outside lane... Had the car 12 days and i love it!
