Default problems problems

after an incident at tesco last week, i deicded to go shopping at sainsbury's

it was altogether a much more pleasant experience

but after elaving, i had to trawl back through what can only be described as little india, so no one gives a flying hoot as to where they are going, especially the illegals

so i'm going around the ossie garvin roundabout and this car goes flying past, totaly out of control as it was going way WAY too fast and if i hadn't taken evasive action that would have bee the mondeo total'd as he was going to hit the drivers side just behind the B pillar

so, as you do with the wife and kid in the car and a full load of shopping, i put the foot back, kickdown came in, away i went to give chase

pulled up along side him in the traffic and gave it what for, and, as i was expecting, he gave a load of abuse back

so, as you do, i pulled up in front of him and blocked BOTH lanes of traffic to remonstrate with him

it was fairly clear he didn't have a clue what the fuck was going on as i let loose with a fair bit of language and, at the end, i got the phone out and took a picture of his car

then he was like "why you take picture of my car?!"

"because you're a cunt!"

he had nothing to say to that so he walked away and i went to get into the car

he came back with a phone but he obviously had no idea how to use it, and i doubt it was a camera phone in the first place but here's the thing

as i was driving away the car felt like it didn't have as much power, as it wasn't going forward as quickly as it should of done, the only thing i could think of was that the brakes were on or it was just about to die

then i realised that the handbrake was on but the light wasn't showing, so what could be the possible reasons for this light not to illuminate?

haha

maby it was the wife, kids and a full boot of shopping, which made if feel slower. although after sainsburys the reduced weight of your wallet sould compensate somewhat, i know mine does.

Ł110.67 the bill came to, 2 trolleys worth

but we did save ourselves Ł15.27 so it was worth it just for that

and, in a surprising turn of event's, nothing was broken or damaged in my "driving like a scene from a jerry bruckheimer movie" mad dash

This makes about as much sense, as something that doesn't make sense, on an non sensible day without sensibility on even sensible day with sense removed from common sense...

Try text talk, it takes up less space!

the light failed to illuminate upon application of the handbrake after the incident

i am unsure as to it's operation at present as i am not able to test it due to the vehicle not being within testing range (i'm at work, it's at home)

and now it's operational again

i think the red mist somehow obscured the colour of the olight and it was probably my mistake in not noticing it was on

Thanks for that.
Never thought to look, I've turned mine off.
The times I've been reading a thread then suddenly the text doesn't make sense and realised it's scrolled.
