grrr, on my way home from a mates today, had the bairn in the back and she'd just fell asleep bless her. got into my village, bottom of the hill theres about 4 sets of speed bumps that are like island ones but go diagonal across the road, if you get what i mean (pain in the arse)
i noticed a car coming the other way at the last bump (the one were I've got to go diagonal across the road to get over it ok) i thought ah, the bairns fast asleep i'll just stop for a few seconds til the car going the otherway passes and i can go on that side of the road to get over.
the impationt cow behind me in he big Toyota started blasting her horn. grrr, whats she want me to do, smash my manifold and scare the shite out the bairn.

i stopped the car and got out, the fear on here face was immense. haha, thought i best get back in or she'll think im a murderer or something


anyone have any problems like this near there area?

Simple solution to that raise the car up the woman behind would not of known you would break your manifold it was your choice to lower your car live with it

No not really, if you have a lowered car then you have to expect people being like this.
To be honest if someone just stopped in the road in front of me I would be using my horn.

And again, I had no idea what you meant. Not everyone here is northern so unless you try and use words everyone would know (daughter is a good start) then you can't expect to be understood universally.
