i hate i hate big people carriers
I think the people carrier mentality comes from (usually) the father who wanted an MX5 or some other excuse for a sports car but because of family commitments has to use a people carrier. They therefore drive them as if they were a sports car.
I call it Formula Espace. Only cure is to make them chace you fast into a corner that tightens... and tightens... and woah there you go :devil:

The Ulysse ain't too bad, especially off the lights - granted, get it fast round some country lanes, and then things start to get lively good old ESP, if only it could 'sense' what was round the next bend

Shall i all tell you my story. Now quieten down
Yesterday was driving to college and the dual carriageway goes down to one lane as soon as it says so i indicate and get let in by a very nice man (bob) everyone else cuts in and we're all sitting happy.
The man in the van infront pulls accross the two lanes to probably be annoying but it also lets people know the lanes closing - i follow to be annoying too due to a stupid mother car coming up (evil) clearling overtaking everyone. Mr evil drives up the curb round me i'm so shocked i sit there and when the van moves forward hes in.
Okay i think its fine just a huge 2 mile queue of traffic. anyway bob behind me is clearly not impressed he comes around on the left hand side around me and Mr evil, skidding sideways to stop Mr evil moving forward. Mr evil just sits there like nothings happened while the Bob and mate stick there fingers up repeatedly.
Anyway it pissed me off big time but i keep out of these things since i dont want to hurt my car. But Mr evil was totally out of order and if i'm honest it wouldnt have bothered me half as much if he'd been in a normal car.

Sorry i understand it was quite confusing. Will Bob and Mr Evil do?
hang about, this thread didn't start off right....
the problem is not people carriers, cos they normally are quite economical, built for a purpose... carrying people...
the problem is tonka toys... 4x4's all them mitsu warriors and cayenne's and that...or the ones built for off roading, that have blatantly never been off road.
That's the "mine is bigger than yours mentality". Mr wants his Missus to feel important and sit above all the other women pushing their prams outside school, so he sorts her out with a Landrover... cos if not, little Billy wont get the kudos he deserves at school, and he social cirle will just fall apart..
I quite like people carriers on a whole (apart from.. sorry to say, the multipla, which has to be the ugliest vehicle ever created)

So Bob over took you on the left so I'm presuming he mounted the Kerb to and cut you AND Mr Evil up, so him and his mate could make obscene gestures at Mr Evil.. who didn't give a siht to begin with
JaaYaMM!

Yes thats it.
And Mr evil sat there like he was out for a sunday drive. It was in one of those 4x4 none offroad things that Seraphs talking about.

:yeahthat: Except he didn't get past me on the open stretch either, just kind of got a bit closer before another bendy bit. I have noticed that round here, people who pull out on me at very short notice (and who deserve to die so one day I shall just keep going straight on into the side of them
) are driving either a people carrier or 4x4 and 99% of the time have a 'baby on board' sticker.

Yea!!! that really annoys me... you want to save your children's lives? try not driving like a twa t, skip the silly stickers they don't do anything so long as you're driving like a twa t, just don't be a twa t, you twa t.
