The owner had enough money for the gold paint, but couldn't afford indicator bulbs
That's some pretty aggressive driving to put it diplomatically!

Car color = tacky, but that's his business.

Driver and chase car with camera in public traffic = @$$holes, period.

The police don't pay much attention to motorway sillyness, however in the cities and villages they will come down hard... absolute no messing.

The paint is like the chrome one you can get... it is kind of unique, but wierd... he must be someone 'big' out there as the people he is p*ssing off driving like that aren't exactly going mistake it for another m5
