    Derek. Guess my Mini Cooper “S” is a smaller version of a B.M.W. but nonetheless, I bet I could give even you a run for your money…..:)

    I don’t doubt it but it’s for the best anyway. I wouldn’t want any Mini anywhere near my car just in case any Mini-ugliness rubbed off on my car. :). Especially the Coupe. It looks like something you would get with a Barbie doll or someone has sat on it. Mind you not as bad the awful Evoque.

    2) I find Top gear very informative as regards cars, they tend to give an honest opinion on different vehicles car manufacturers cars, even to the extent, that some manufacturers won’t give them one of their cars to test!!

    Middle-aged men getting to play with sportscars at license-payers expense.

    3) Rules are made for the guidance of wise men, and the obedianc of fools. But as Moggs the Mod says, “Stick to the rules, or else”

    And look what happened to the originator of that quote when he disobeyed the rules. It is possibly one of the most mentioned and yet least accurate of all quotes.

    So, on that note, back on thread, Can’t see why you don’t use the P.M. facillity if you feel you are so stressed out about what members say, rather than plastering it all over the forum.
    Is anyone interested?.i’m not, lets stick to “Middle Lane Hoggers”.:rolleyes:

    What would be the point of that? Isn’t a discussion forum exactly that. To discuss other’s points of view – no matter how inaccurate or insulting? You seem to spend a lot of time replying for someone who is not interested.

    Anyway, back to the topic.
    As I said in a now long-deleted post, :confused: I don’t think the standards are really that bad. I drive 90 miles a day on some the busiest motorways in the UK and the standards are generally OK. Yes, there is occasionally a tailgater or someone who cuts you up but these are few and far between. Everyone just wants to get where they want to go as quickly and as safely as possible.
    The worst driving I see is at the weekend when those that don’t drive much are let loose on the roads. Nightmare!

    Maybe Lidl Rissington should be saved as well. 🙂

    Could it be because your pile of rubbish is larger than Silver fox’s ?.
    Anyway, back to Key Publishings equivelant to Top Gear……………………………………….

    So you agree that BMW drivers are “of limited ability” then? Considering you are one yourself?

    You are right about Top Gear though – opinionated, right wing and largely irrelevant.

    The moderator in his enthusiasm has deleted most of my posts making the thread and some replies look a little odd. Still, their rules…..

    Is there any reason why you continually delete my replies to silver fox’s load of rubbish? I’m guessing some have the right to say what they like but others don’t.

    Just thought I’d resurrect this thread as well so that both the Middle Lane Hogging threads could appear together on the forum. :dev2:

    Did someone mention Nissan 200SX?

    Best car I ever owned. 200bhp , rear wheel drive. 70mph in 2nd gear. What’s not to like.
