Of sorts…
Heading along the A483 towards its junction with the A5, I became aware of rather silly looking car behind me. It was one of those boy racer Focus RS types, where the proud owner has spent thousands on making it go ppppssssssstttttttttt every time the clutch is dipped; or sounding like me gargling listerine, every time he taps the accelerator…
Anyhow, this proud chap decides to overtake me whilst 300 yds from the roundabout - queueing traffic not far away, my right indicator signalling my intent to erm…head rightish…in the process, he sails inches past my offside and cuts in, inches from my bumper…then heads for the left lane… Being too mild for road rage I resort to a simple gentle shake of the head (I’m nearly 40, I’m allowed)…
This prompts said proud owner to drop his window and proudly shake the coffee beans at me…couldn’t help smiling and winking at him as I sailed past, the right hand lane being clear as a whistle… turns out the boy racer was a 40 something 'roid monkey.
I don’t know about his driving as I wasn’t there , but I love my cars / bikes and messing about with them , I don’t think there’s anything really wrong with it , just a hobby , doubt though I’d be referred too as a boy racer these days , not interested in speed , been there done that , I just like modifying cars , daughters st at the moment
You can upset these Max Power knobheads simply by paying the ordinary car next to them more attention. I was more interested in a Morris Ital next to a Focus RS in Sainsburys car park a few years ago. I noticed the driver frowning because I paid his car no attention. 
Mucks, it’s the whole ‘look at me’ attitude that makes me 
… he even had to roar off from the junction (despite being in near nose to tail traffic) simply to make a nice loud scene… His whole driving manner (I was keeping an eye on him as he weaved in and out of the traffic behind me) was to intimidate and bully other road users. Cutting in, taking up others braking room, overtakes leaving little room etc…
Dozy, nothing wrong with a hobby whatsoever…but I do get narked when this hobby becomes a little too anti-social - stupidly (and probably illegal) exhausts etc…certain ninja warrior motorcyclists are also culprits… I guess I’m getting old and grumpy. But, our roads are not the place for personal re-enactments of GTA or need for speed etc…save it for track days or rally days … instead of risking the safety of everyone else around them…
mk2 focus RS owners are renowned for being driven like that, they even make ST owners like me look good , god knows they have fell into the hands of these sorts being £24k+ for an oldish car.
Lol. I am 43 and I’ve just changed mine for something a little more subtle.
A 5.0 V8 supercharged Jag XKR. Hell…I even wear ripped jeans. (Although to be fair, that’s because I can’t afford to replace them due to fuel costs). 
The “blip the throttle to make a silly noise, impress nobody” brigade are no different to the V8 Scania Tang Clan.

Scania only uses the V8 in some models for its capacity/power, seems the general thing to do now to slate anyone with a Scania V8
