All right own up who was it ?
At 6.30am this morning on the Western Hwy near Bacchus Marsh a White window Van overtook on a hill and cutoff my Boss , your Van started to pour out black smoke and you didn't move over to the left , I got to work and my Boss starts on me " Your Fn mate in a Fn Mini can't drive for Sht that **** needs to be kicked to death etc etc etc etc "
So tell me who you are and I,ll try to keep the peace because if he see's you on the same Hwy at the same time he'll run you off the road , well thats what he said :?

My Boss is a straightforward bloke , no nonsense , he just flipped his lid that whoever it was in the white window Van pulled out into the righthand lane on a hill in a 110 zone to overtake in morning peakhour and the Van crapped its self and he/she stayed in the righthand lane and dropped down to lesss than 90kph pouring out black smoke , my Boss came up behind him after he pulled out to overtake , the van basically cut him off , he never flashed his lights or anything like that just wanted whoever it was to get out of the FN way

I copped more Mini hate today , I just want to find out who it was because if thats the way they normally drive to work and he/she crosses paths with my Boss it could get very ugly , I would,nt tell my Boss who you are , just want to warn you to get out the way and also see what the problem with the engine is and whether you need some help

He should probably get over it.

Does he approach drivers of other makes of cars at your workplace if he has a run in with the same make ?

Exactly.

Whats it got to do with you? If you don't know anybody with a white van tell him so and tell him to get stuffed. Boss or not he sounds like a twit.

Tell him to get over it.

Much worse are the honda drivers who go everywhere 8-10kph underspeed because thats how the factory calibrates the cars to improve their safety record..

Oh you , I wondered what the smell was , yes the distinctive waft of someone trying to be even less introspective and insular

No this can,t go in the Spotted ! section as it was my Boss passing it in , its supposed to Mini to Mini or someone into Mini's not in a Mini but seeing one or several or a Moke which may or may not be in pieces

My Boss is not that bad just don,t piss him off , the sort of bloke that if you crossed him he would give you a box of tissues and when you asked what they are for " Its for your Mother " and smash right in the face

Look obviously we don't know who the owner of the White window Van is or if we do they havn't posted or don,t want to , thats fine

I was hoping someone would know because they obviously have a problem with the engine and I was keen to know if they wanted some assistance

Although its nothing to do with you.

I believe anyone who sits in the outside lane not overtaking should be kicked at least until they admit they're a sh!t driver.. Mini or not... we all know we're not getting up steep hills fast in a std mini

People like that deservedly end up in prison. There is no call for physical violence for 'crossing' someone, or causing them to slow down on the road - that's just stupid talk. Your boss has issues. Hopefully the police catch him or he gets therapy before he assaults someone.

Unfortunately thuggery is gaining notoriety in Australia at the moment Angus. Seems to be that a slither of the population is trying to defy evolution and revert to ape-like behaviour.

Its heartwarming it really is to have the Mini community show some concern for his/ her Van that obviously has a problem with their motor
