Jon, I know I'm going to sound like a boring old fart,but, I've driven an ridden most things from 38 tonna's to mini-moto's and by far the most
difficult time I've spent on the road was pulling a c-van. Try it, thats if you think your good enough.

And Locodude, you forgot "arsechin"
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I'll have you know I used to be a caravan owner (in my late 20's early 30's - and have a BMW as a company car! 
Caravans are no worse than trucks - its just that people get a bee in their bonnet over them, or they are towed by a non speedy 70 year old. I always
went as fast as I could get away with.
As far as the BMW - I have a bmw 318SE with options and it cost 23k. If it was my own money I would be pig sick. 0-60 in 10.4 secs - as one person
said to me once - you could get an elise for that! Dont think my company would agree tho.....
The beemers a nice drive but not so much nicer than a focus to justify the extra rip off cost.
And people do treat you differently with less tolerance on the road. I dont class myself as a beemer driver - all those i have worked with thats had
them have been bas%^Ards.

Caravans.. definite thumbs down (although they are good to overtake... just don't find one on a twisty road where you can't see past it).
BMW... thumbs up... I own a 323 Coupe which is a definite buzz to drive. For those that think maybe I don't know what I'm talking about I also own a
Speed Triple (0-60 in about 3.3 seconds). OK, some beemer drivers are tossers but if you don't like it, don't sit behind it!!!

I recon the 170hp of the 323 would make all the difference over the poxy 118 hp of the 318i - but at 25k its still crap value for a focus / escort
sized car...

I hate old ducks who want to do 40 everywhere including 30 limits. Last year I was pulling the caravan back from Hornsea and I got behind a couple in
an immaculate old Triumph 2.5 PI and they went faster uphill than on the flat . Traffic built up behind and they were blaming me, I just knew it
 , so I pulled into a layby and we gave them chance to get away. I set off ten minutes later and caught up with them in 5 miles so we tailgated them
till they pulled in for petrol. I could almost see the brand name on his trilby.
yours Pete

I totally agree about those ridiculous rear fog lights. What idiot thought that one up? If they were accompanied by a flashing light on the dash it
might help, but most modern dashboards are lit up like a lit up thing so the idiots who drive around with the bloody things on all the times are
blissfully unaware of the fact..
But if there is one thing that really grips my s**t is those stupid unpleasant miserable and downright ******* personages who will not move to the
middle of the road when they want to turn right, and everybody behind them has to wait until the aforementioned t**ts can spot what they think is a
big enough gap in the oncoming traffic
