    Hmm, I have a mate in New York for 4 weeks. Maybe I ship something to her :twisted:

    Nice. The guy who clipped me while overtaking didn't actually notice, although he was equally apologetic.

    It's a Mondeo, by the way, not an EON :-)
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    <facepalm> :wink: (to explain - there's another clip lurking on here somewhere of an EON van nearly taking me out. This guy in this latest vid had an EON work pass hanging around his neck - hence my comment about another EON driver

    Glad youre ok mate, i think that the driver only pulled over because he had reached his destination and didn't expect to see you keeping pace with him, if the company want the video show him for the poor driver that he is.

    He did actually go past me a couple of minutes later, so I know he hadn't got to where he was heading.

    Kieran,
    Thanks for that- I'd best stop reading the "bargain" thread so as to save up.

    Refreshing to see the chap stop & apologise; apparently there's a letter of apology coming from the van driver that caused me to crash, according to the PC dealing with the matter. It's been a month, so I assume standards of literacy match those of driving...

    amazon had/have an offer at the moment.

    Now you don't always have to think the worst of people. Even those who assume we are all riding at 2 mph can have consciences*.

    Glad you are ok Kieran!

    * eg the bus driver today who decided to half overtake me and then start indicating (and moving) towards a bus stop whilst he was alongside me. I gave him a bit of a look and when he past me again a few minutes later he gave me a gap you could have parked a 747 in :lol:
    Faster than a tent.......
