Mercedes Don't know, Silver driven by Male

Seen at 09:00 pm on 04-Feb-2001 on Whitehouse road Edinburgh Midlothian

My heart rate is slowly going down again after a short trip to the supermarket down the road. Here is what happened: Cycling down the road, road from the left coming up, I started slowing down because there's a car approaching very fast from the left and it didn't look like the driver saw me. I come to almost a full stop (I had right of way btw), but hey, the car (silver mercedes) stops. I pass and continue cycling, car pulls up next to me, lowers window. "I saw you, you fucker" (and some other remarks/yelling). My initial reply "I just didn't want to get hit, you were driving very fast". More swearing from the car. My reply "you were driving very fast you ass" (OK, maybe not the smartest thing to say). This inspired the driver into a rant which involved a couple of "I'll stab you, you fucker" and a lot more swearing and pulling up very fast and cutting me off. I went cycling on the pavement, figured he wouldn't want to damage his car driving up there. Also thought of 2 scenarios:he hits me with his car (not very smart because I'll sue him and his car gets damaged) or he stops and gets out in which case I'm faster on my bike. This all happened in maybe 50 metres, he then turned right very fast and disappeared into a neighbourhood there. I kept on cycling for a bit, thinking he was going to do something. Heard a car coming up behind me, driving fast,saw it was silver so I went on the pavement again. Not sure if this was the same car. Saw him drive away and made sure he kept on going before I stopped at the supermarket (didn't want to run into him there). Cycled back after shopping and decided to check on the road he went into (sort of cul-de-sac), checking if maybe his car was there and maybe take a picture of his license plate and report him. I think I saw his car, but it was parked in the parking lot of his house and I didn't want to risk getting caught taking a picture and getting mister aggressive upset. Pfffffff. I know calling an aggressive person (which he clearly was based on his initial driving and verbal abuse) an ass isn't smart, but besides that: wtf!? OK, needed to get that of my chest, time for a beer now.

Even better… Have a few beers then take a potato with you or an onion and a jug of water. Bung the onion or the potato up his exhaust pipe then (If its possible) open the fuel filler cap and pour plenty of water down it. When he starts the engine and it runs, the exhaust pressure should build up on the blockage and blow the valves out and ruin the engine. If that fails to work then the water you have poured into the tank will go through the fuel pipes, straight through the filter and blow the pistons. Water doesn’t compress and it should go straight to the compression and then… Bang! engine finished.

Slashing the tyres will be quicker!

Nah tyres are cheap and easily replaced. Engines aren’t!

I second S100 EAT’s idea. New tyres are only a few hundred at most but new engines (especially mercedes) are many thousands to replace.

True, but I’m thinking of it from the “how likely am I to be caught doing this?” angle!

You are more likely to be caught slashing a tyre because it could go BANG – SSSSSsssss and make a right racket and it might only leave you the chance to destroy one poxy tyre before he comes running out which means he will only jack it up, change it for the space saver and carry on driving it. Either that or the sudden drop in deflation might rock the car and set off an alarm. Don’t bother its too risky! Just bung a Potato/Onion right up the exhaust pipe to jam the exhaust backpressure into a manifold build up to blow the valves or simply pour some old used engine oil straight down the fuel cap so when it finally gets to the engine it sends the engine in runaway mode. He won’t be able to stop the engine if oil enters the chamber, the oil will force the cylinders to carry on running by themselves even when there is no fuel supply and the oil forces the engine to rev on the redline until it finally blows a headgasket and knackers itself. All he can do is watch! Even if the headgasket does blow the burning oil will ruin all the upper internals and he will need a stripped and reconditioned engine or a new one! Trust me on this.
