A few weeks back I was passed by a Targa sup****t vehicle on a narrow, 
windy country road, even though I was doing approx. 110Ks myself (and I 
pretty much considered that speed being on the edge of risky).
The vehicle that passed me was a Nissan Patrol filled to the roof with 
crap PLUS a trailer full of 44 gallon fuel drums.
