... and on the second day of driving with it, I've already had a large McDonalds style soft drink thrown at the car whilst in moving traffic.

Its a 2.5inch pipe with a 3.5 inch inward rolled slash cut tip with a mid sport sound made by Motor-mech. Not exactly anti-social is it?

A group of pr*cks in a battered Fiat Punto with dodgey wheels lobbed the fizzy beverage at my car (covering it) and then proceeded to spit at me and hurl abuse. It must be down to the new exhaust as I've owned the car for 10 months without any hassle up until now.

Is this likely to continue?

wtf????

jealousy of your stunning car compared to their chav-mobile. cabbages need a good hiding

Never had ANY problems ever, even with a large exhaust. Maybe you slept with his girlfriend/sister/mum etc.

sounds like a good night out

I don't think these a** holes needed much of an excuse in their targeting. It was just as likely to happen because its a fiat etc etc.

I have no issues regarding scum like this and i am sure you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Lets just hope one day they all pick on someone less well natured than ourselves.

ilmao, Sorry, exhaust or not, you would have got it chucked at you by the jellus scrotes. The bravo (decat) was silly loud and I never had that kind of response. If you like it, ever one else (as long as it passes the vosa noise test)

I do miss that 5 pot noise the bravo made!

I'm not so sure it was a co-incidence. I cant say I've treated anyone how I wouldnt want to be treated either. Just a sad state of affairs in the UK today I guess. You work hard for something nice and instead of being respected for it, you get abused. FFS.

I'm with Proccy. Some mental nut-job needs to give these scum-bags a good hiding. Thankfully I'm not one of those nut-jobs.

what exactly were they saying?

It cant have been anything to do with his sexuality as the cars red not murple.

I dont know as I had my window up, thankfully. I had my parents in the car too which wasnt exactly pleasant for them. I was only rolling at about 20mph appraching traffic lights. It's a good job they were turning green otherwise I might have a spit covered car sitting outside.

Did you get the reg number of the Punto?

Any CCTV around there that could have captured this?

Didnt get the red number unfortunately as I was fuming and was along side the offending Punto. If they're local they'll be reported thats for sure.

No CCTV that I know of unless there are are any cameras on the traffic lights.

I know he can be contrary, but why would he climb on your car

Really sorry to hear about this disgusting and appalling behaviour.

No need to worry about them getting a good hiding.That would only make things worse,even if you had the means.
Just report it to the police and let them deal with it.
It's a pity you didn't get the reg number but if it's the police local to the area they may aready have an idea who these clowns are.

MEANWHILE IN YOUR MIND.......
you just go and get a very BIG gun. A bit like Clint Eastwood you say"are you laughing at my mule ?" BANG !!

yeah the police will sort it....

Speak for yourself

Yes, me too.

I've never seen or heard of this and I do laps around town fairly regularly

The worst I've seen is water pistol fights between the cars in the summer

I suspect jealousy as you're driving a car that stands out and looks different to all the other euro-boxes but in no way does that excuse the behaviour of those chavs.

I've not experienced anything like that in the coop and I sometimes go around Portsmouth city centre.

Probably wrong place at the wrong time, but it seems strange as I would have thought you're more likely to get that kind of abuse from yobs on the pavement than fellow car owners

'Eck GJ....sorry to hear - was this in The Cov by any chance? Interested in your zorst though - I'm after a similar one from Paul sometime this year.. Pure Jealousy I'd say.

It was in Coventry, yes. If you want to have a look at the exhaust you're welcome to. Pm me if you like.
