    Both very good points sir.

    Age is easy, I just go on how low below the steering wheel their head is.

    Mirror / armour, no injuries, just a bad farty smell I suppose

    As I said, I want my mum....

    shite Max. Glad you are ok.
    With driving like that I imagine he will attract the attention of the fuzz shortly.
    At least its Friday?

    I work in Parnell, he matches the description of many of the stupid young assholes in cages.

    Post the rego, someone will be able to guess at the ownership details...
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    I know exactly what you mean, had a similar incident on my ZXR last week in Albany, SUV pulls out at intersection talking on his mobile, heard me skid so he stops right in the middle of road forcing me to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid him... but my basic primal instinct of fight or flight kicks in and my adrenalin doubled within a second felt great but dangerous as hell!

    Mind you I'm Asian and have been driving for many years without any accident, it's always those minority like that MX5 that gives us the bad driver stereotype

    Anyway I'm glad that you are ok

    You really must get rid of that target you must be displaying....
    Well done for quick reactions. Often that is all we have, between a post and a box.
    Get in touch with the bank that runs that haircut ad...they'll know who the little tosser is.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I had a couple of near miss moments because of cages myself yesterday. Must be the time of year for it. I'm glad you're ok Max, quick reactions to see the escape route.

    Waz the MX-5 a softtop? "oops, I slipped & accidently plunged the screwdriver from my bike's toolkit through the roof, sorry 'bout that...."
    I figure car drivers must be Apes. All they do is sit in cages all day & grunt

    I do hope the boys in blue to their work, find the B****** and impound his car (+ arrest him, sustained loss of traction), that way he is restricted in his ways of trying to turn someone into road kill.

    Well done Max, struth that was close, that is one narrow road with cars on each side.

    Think you've done enough for a mellowpuff
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Glad you're still with us Max, always love your rants. You speak very eloquently regarding the human condition. Bugger me if that little incident doesn't prove that you have an angel riding pillion mate.

    Are you going to report the basket?
