Rant about Granny drivers!

Hi everyone,

Just need to get this off my chest. Why do grannies drive so slow (even on motorways) when they own 2 litre ++++ cars and especially one's with spoilers,bodykits,turbo injected, (prob even complimentary Nos). Why own cars that are just dying to be driven fast and abuse them like this? :x Really I dont wanna be ageist but it always seems to be an old driving.

I work in Ilkley. They must have more huge 4x4s driven by housewives than anywhere in the country.

I saw an old man driving one of those Shitty sorry City Rover (Tata Indica) thingys (they actually exist outside of Birmingham) slowly on a dual carriageway I mean it has the same 1.4 lump found in the 206 should be capable of over the ton but why drive it at 30? Mind you from what I read in Top Gear the thing may fall to bits if driven any faster

Mind you there was that retired mercedes test driver who was in his 80s who could powerslide and J turn an S-Class merc at high speed. Some Old people can really drive to quote Jezza on Top Gear once
