James Martin - Moron of the century?

Please have a look at this link:
JAMES MARTIN: The Tesla Roadster is the all-electric supercar that's as fast as a Ferrari | Mail Online

It's one thing to hate cyclists with a passion - I guess he's entitled to hate whomever he wants to...
But check out his conclusion of the article:

Quote:
Twenty minutes into my test drive I pulled round a leafy bend, enjoying the birdsong - and spotted those damned Spider-Man cyclists. Knowing they wouldn't hear me coming, I stepped on the gas, waited until the split second before I overtook them, then gave them an almighty blast on the horn at the exact same time I passed them at speed.

The look of sheer terror as they tottered into the hedge was the best thing I've ever seen in my rear-view mirror. I think this could be the car for me.
It's the most preposterous thing I've ever seen in a long time!

Reactions, please...

Yes indeed. I'm already a fan of this FB group (did you notice the nice pictures btw?). A little low on objectivity, quite the same level as the article, but fun.

Even so, the last part of his article deserves some more serious consequences in my opinion. He actually admits illegal traffic behavior... AND he brags about it, suggesting he thinks this is a funny thing to do when getting a field of cyclists in front of your car!

I like being hated for no reason. Doesn't everyone? That guy blows.
