One guy decided to get out of his car and have a real go at one volunteer who was in his 70's.... i decided it was time to step in, and reminded him that he'd clearly gone through a road closed sign back down the road, as i'd just ran past it 10mins previous, and its hardly the volunteer's fault that the council have closed off all the roads.

I also took a mouthful of abuse and i think he was weighing up whether to have a pop at me... however he eventually got back in his car and turned round.
Funny people car drivers.

I was pootling though Ilkley today - at around 15 mph which is as fast as one can go with all the tourists looking for parking spaces so they can visit the plethora of charity shops - behind a Mercedes AMG 6.3 CLS coupe. Now being a small coupe it obviously needs a V8 6.3 litres engine.

And the driver kept revving said engine.

So my technical question to someone who knows about cars, perhaps Mr B., is, do these 500 HP engines stall if you let the revs drop having to pull all that carbon fibre along at 15 mph?
