We all get stuck in traffic with alarming regularity. What is the best or most interesting car you have ever been stuck behind?

I got stuck behind a DB9 - beautiful lines and could have happily stayed there all day long. What about you or do you always get stuck behind a big lorry or ugly white van?
 
Normally the Clio with 5 "heads" in it, sat on its arches, ragged to crap with people in the back staring at me.

As I sit there and grin.

That, or the typical Micra/Van/Lorry
 
I got stuck behind a 206 race car on a trailer on the M25, was caged and I think fibreglassed body with those paint on lights, hehe. But I remember being stuck in traffic with Nick (faze9327492) when he was driving his birds BMW Mini Cooper and he was harrassing some dude in a Ferrari!

No traffic in N.Z unfortunately, only get stuck behind dairy trucks!
 
a kit car with a lambo shell, made a racket, and when it got out of traffic and tried to speed off, well it wasnt so fast
 
This week I have been behind 2 Enzos, 3 aston Martin Vantages, a DB9 a Volante and a Ferrari Testarossa! Not a bad week for hot cars and traffic jams! Thats Hampshire for you.
 
I've never been stuck behind a really nice car.

I mean I've been stuck behind Maseratis, TVR's, Aston's and the like but I find them a bit boring, maybe thats because the only really nice car I know of is my Daihatsu Charade and there so rare, I've seen a few others but never been stuck behind one in traffic :lol:

Yeah I'm still in touch with him! I was working with him a little bit up untill October, he is currently driving (working on) his golf, which I believe he is converting to a 1.8 20v turbo?

Excuse dodgy camera pic.

nah its not all tractors its more the ones who have a rather large queue behind them drive passed lots of road ends but never pull in.

in this case i find its the older ones who do pull in
 
I would like to refer to Highway Code 169:

Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow-moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass.
 
yip i know this you know it so does just about everyone but certain people dont take notice

at stranrar a lot of the lorry drivers are held back to stop them causing queues on the A75 yet nobody bothers with tractors
 
A Mclaren SLR (well it wasnt in traffic but im sure it counts)
This was before they were supposed to be in the uk - by the time I had though of taking a pic usng the phone it had dissapeared.

Can they do that on the M25 please? :lol:

I find most of the time I'm in the fast lane and the two inside lanes are just lorries end to end, so you end up with 2 lanes of lorries and 1 lane left for cars.
 
the best thing i was next to was a bus full of girls they must of been on a long journey cause was lovin the boobs at 10 mph lol.
 
Been stuck behind both a DB9 and an F430 near London Docklands when visiting various data-centres. Additionally the guy who runs one of the data facilities has an F430, so I do stare at it everytime im there!
