Its funny how the clio brings out the k**b in other drivers...Just driving along and people in all kinds of cars (not just sports cars or hot hatches) start doing daft things to get in front of you!! Quite funny at sometimes other times really pisses me off......almost throwing down the gauntlet..
Why does the clio bring out the k**b in other drivers....?

I only collected mine last saturday but within 20 miles of driving up the A6 i had a merc sat up my rear wanting me to get a move on and then on the M62 with barely 100 miles on the clock some jiz in an alfa mito undertaking me and swinging in front after the road works. :thumbdown:
bmw 320d's are the bain of my life! I know I should be toasting them well and truly, and I do, but I always make harder work out of it than I probably need to. Between that and kangaroo-ing away from lights when the engines not quite up to heat, and I'm just an embarrassment to the Clio name 
This annoys the hell out of me.
I spend over 50 miles each day on minor A and B roads, and I like to drive, make progress.
But whenever I get the usual BMW/VAG derv behind me they sit two car lengths away then go for ridiculous overtakes.
As others have said I just let them get on with it, get past, let them get away then resume enjoying my drive.

Saxo guy today.. under took me on island with his cage stripped rear and sparco seats then booted it away from the lights with his exhaust as wide as his face! why i dont no... everyone noes saxos got sheet on any renaultport....
Then on the way home on A38, off of the island there is a bend and then a hill climb (about a mile) i love to boot it up to 70mph here as i am sure most people do go onto a duel carriage way (slip ramp), old t reg laguna (i think) up my arse like f*ck flashing as getting off island onto a38, so booted it, about 10mins later CC on at 70mph he comes flying past, him and his misus got a rate smile on their faces (about 50 years old) lol like they were saying YEAAAAAHHHHHH EASY!

Never had any massive issues. Just the odd idiot in corsa/nova/saxo/fiesta and clios (shock not all clio drivers are little angels) but I just let them get on with it.
I think people need to take a look at the way they are driving and maybe not the fact people are trying to race you, more likely the fact you are in the way. I sit at 65-70 on motorways and im normally the slowest car, so I tend to sit in the outside lane so i don't get in the way. The clio isn't made for motorways.
