Well.. in my 3 years in the forums I have never posted something like this. but this time I shall speak so that we all can know how senseless sometimes we can be on the road.
Yesterday was CNY eve. Me and wife was on the way home, cruising the ECP in our running-in Z4 2.5. A humble, funny and charming car.
From far I could make out a full AC kitted red cab cruising slowly on the left, then switching to the middle, then the far-right lane. As I gained slowly on him, I could make out a "UUC" tag on the rear. Nice!
Red cab was cruising pretty comfortably at about 80-90 kmh. "got space in front leh", i thot to myself. But red cab was not moving up. oh well, maybe he was just soaking in his CNY reunion dinner.
So, I signalled left, took the middle lane and prodded the trottle. 3500rpm and 4th gear. Cosy acceleration cos still running-in. After establishing a good 5-6 car length, I signalled right and went back to the 1st lane, continuing on my leisurely drive home.
Rear mirror - red cab's bright HIDs in the distance. All at peace.
Or so I thought. Next thing I knew, red cab zoomed to my rear. I could see his hands on the steering wheel. couldnt see his number plate. Pushing pushing. "wah..Aggressive man" I thot.
Quite unsettling to be tailgated. There was space on the middle and left and I maneurved out and then back into the 1st lane again.
Red cab couldnt follow. Too heavy traffic. Could see his HIDs many cars behind... got stuck.. But I could make out red cab trying to squeeze his way out, tailgating another car...
"wah... wassup man..." I thot to myself... 'What did I do boy...."
I kept my cruising speed, enjoying the breeze.
Vrrroooooooooom. From a distance, red cab stormed into my rear after negotiating the slower traffic. Again, glued right behind me. I signalled left to get space for myself. Red cab follows!! Chasing and harrasing right behind, like a beast run wild. I couldnt breathe. My poor Z4 was still running in and I couldnt kick-down and pull away.....
It felt like red cab was trying to mow me down or crash me in. I hit the brakes, forcing him to take the middle lane. Off he went! Blasting down the ECP, AC exhaust in full glory, attacking the siglap exit corner as if it were sepang.
I was flabbergasted.
What was he trying to prove? I mean, one moment you are driving sedately, next moment you are overtaken by a undersized, running-in Z4 and you need to prove a point?
Outmaneurved by a smaller roadster and you want to make another point?
Maybe I am wrong and he was just being "friendly"... but from my rear mirror, it didnt seem so,
If only I was in my Evo9... keke
My appeal to all friends in the forums.. Pls be gentlemanly and dont provoke other drivers. Its new year so lets all be at peace.
To the red cab (I now know who you are..), hey man I was just overtaking to go a bit faster. Didnt chiet your lane, didnt push you, didnt flash at you.. Wassup man???
Anyway, to all = Gong Xi Fa Cai!
(Hope this provided some entertaintment. keke.)
