Things That Turn Me Into The Incredible Hulk #2 - Driving
Firstly this can rant can be sub-categorised into two further categories, both of which turn me green and angry.
Anyway, I was travelling along and I got stuck behind a car going 40mph. The road is a little bendy, so I don't even entertain the policy of overtaking. I love my life, I don't want to end it, or someone else's either. I just crawled along behind getting increasingly irritated until a safe passing opportunity arose.
I then had a free run for a few miles and then got onto the Beverly by-pass. The pace wasn't at the speed limit, but at least it was moving. I went past the line of cars on the dual carriage way and gave my self another free run. However, in the distance I noticed a potentially slow mover. So I floored it! But I didn't catch up in time before the road turned back to single carriage way. This potential slow mover was the most infuriating driver I think I have ever had the joy of driving behind. In a 60 he was driving at 35. When we approached a speed camera he sped up to 50. Then immediately slowed back down to 35 again.
Sunday Drivers equal Grrrrrr!
2. Now my car has really started to do my nut in of recent months. There is always something wrong with it. As I spend money on getting something broken working something else breaks. And it isn't little amounts of money, it always seems in the vicinity of £200.
On the way back a stone hit my windscreen, leaving a massive crack. So I now need a new windscreen. Darn!
Add this to the fact that my left drive shaft is on the way to breaking, some thing on my rear breaks squeak when I go above 30, the car sounding like it is going to fall to pieces and the car generally being crap it all doesn't bode well. Cars are crap, I want a new one that isn't going to cost me the earth. But hey, what can you do!
P.S. Things that turn me into the Incredible Hulk #1 is bad sound!
