Negative Creep
Staff Sergeant
Went to a car club meet yesterday which you'd think would be great. Indeed it was at first, we enjoyed a spirited drive in the country even though I didn't have the fastest car there (mk.2 Golf Gti) it was still a good laugh.
That was until I ended up with a certain person behind me in a TVR. He would race up so he was almost touching my bumper, drop off then repeat. This was on a narrow country road I'd never driven and the weather was not great either so he was basically trying to bully me out the way. He then pushed past on a narrow stretch of road, I thought he was going to hit me so moved left and BANG. I hit something hard as it bent the alloy and the car now pulls badly to one side.
It doesn't end there though, I was stranded on my own in the middle of nowhere with a flat tyre. So I went to change it but thanks to the poor handbrake and rough ground my car then slipped off the jack damaging the front bumper. I finally managed to flag a couple of people down to help me get the car in the air again and limped 100 miles home.
Still not the end of things. As you can imagine I was rather annoyed so posted on the club about what happened and in a few hours all hell broke loose and it reached 36 pages! Basically, the TVR owner came on, claimed to be a Policeman and started making very public threats. Apparently I better watch out as he knows me and the car and I had better get used to being pulled over! This person had already shot himself in the foot by talking of driving at over 100 on said road and having a video of him doing doughnuts in a car park. I made it clear that if he carried out his threats I would be reporting him directly to the local Chief Constable
So I've now managed to have my car broken and made enemies with a copper all in the space of an afternoon! Car is in the garage at the moment as I await news of just how bad the damage is.............
