Does anyone else who owns sport cars experience similar stuff?

MX5 owner here, I get the same. I don't exceed the speed limit though, I just wait til we get to a twisty section or with most drivers just any kind of bend at all on a single carriage A road and go round it at the speed limit whilst they slow down for it. A lot of these planks can't actually drive round corners.

I have an MX5 which is not a fast car, but it does handle very well and is great fun to drive. For some reason boy racers in hot hatches enjoy cutting me up, especially on a sunny day when I have the roof down, but I let them get on with it. I couldn't keep up with them anyway, and I bought the car for its driving pleasure, not to make some obscure point.

My wife reports similar experiences in her MX5 and the MGF that preceded it. She has much the same thoughts as iolanthe... I don't notice it as much when I drive it - maybe there is sometimes a gender issue as well?

You shouldn't be judging other people for bullying.

You're probably just not a very good driver. Like the majority you're likely to be over hesitant and under confident. You've subconsciously tried to compensate for this with your car but an Alpha driver will always see the inner terror and take your road position.

You will not ultimately have the confidence or ability to stop them.

My problem is that you bully me on these forums.

I've answered you, so perhaps now you would answer me. What's your problem with me? Why do you have to keep bringing up past mistakes I've made that bear no relevance to current threads I comment on?

And what's this got to do with this thread. I suggest if you have an issue with bullying then you should report it.

It's a matter of not reading the instructions to Scalextric in the DARK. The whole point of the game is to get past you, you numpty.
