I usually have other cars around mine so it wouldn't be very safe to do that. But I do perform Murray Walker-like moments when playing racing games. And now that I'm thinking it, I've come across a few guys on the street who really deserved a Deletraz comment: you know, sometimes the guy in front of you is just trolling around at 20 Km/h, with no cars in front of him.

I've twitched the car around in my lane if I get a stone in my tyre or if something else feels odd. Now that you asked, I'll probably have a Murrayism next time.

I've twitched a car from side to side but only ever to see how the stiff the suspension was, or at low speed to piss off my passenger. Maybe this will cross my mind next time.

My dad swerves his car on country lanes to annoy my mum. Nothing to do with Deletraz though.

I drove my dad's car from the passenger seat once. No, really. That was a big 'and what IS Deletraz doing?' moment...I almost drove his brand new Avensis into a ditch on the wrong side of the road. Did I mention I didn't have a driving license either? :lol:

on racing games, I enjoy doing my own "and into the pitlane... OARGGHHHH" for fun, and to see what the game's crash mechanics are like.

In real life, I like to warm up my tyres in country lanes despite driving a 1980's ford escort. life is good!

I slow down on gears-only to piss tail-gators off. They hate that. Although they back off afterwards.

This is in real life obv. I like to think of it as the kind of thing MSC does as he drives around Munchingflapjack town centre.

I do this too when running on highways at 130KM/H, to piss them off, of course i stay on my lane, to not endanger other trafic
i also like to brake all suddenly very hard when passengers fall asleep :D
another fun thing is take deliberatly the wrong exit at a roundabout because someone you have to follow is taking like about 3 extra rounds round the roundabout to annoy you, ah, revenge is sweet :D
if the last thing happenned with 2 drivers of the same team in F1, that would be epic (well, there are no roundabouts in F1 but there must be an alternative for that?)
I don't know what i want and i want it now!
