 KE70 Vs some Commadore...

This happened a while back but heres the story ... *insert fade away dream effect*
I was drving (stocker KE70) with my girlfriend out of a shopping complex and was wating at the lights to turn right. I got the arrow to go and took the corner normal ... moving into the left lane as i turned.
Before I knew it as I straighted up on the road .. some commadore (I can really remember the model type .. but it was new and white) who was in a carpark area very near a giveway sign to get onto the road/lane i was in, tears upto the giveway sign then suddenly breaks - (loud screeching noise and all heard) - the front of the car hanging out well over the giveway line and dangeriously close to the passenger side of my car. (Where my g/f was).
I had to quickly swerve to avoid it and looked into my rear vision mirror .. where I saw the Commadore tear off into the right lane next to me and go off to turn right off the road.
Looking into thier car I saw two scruffy men i'd otherwise call bums ... and they are greasing me out. I'm already pissed that they endangered my g/f's life... so I give them the finger and continue driving.
I'm going down the road at 80ks (standard for the road I was on) for a good 20 seconds before I see the white car tearing up the road to catch up with me. (he must have been going 100-110 at least) - the guys in the commadore jumped 3 lanes to catch me and as they pulled next to me .. the passenger wind down his window and begins to swear and yell and tell me to get out of the car because he wants to kick the shit out of me.
I look back at him and taking two hands off the wheel, give him the double finger and swear back at him telling him he can go fornicate himself.
Great idea. 
he is now enraged and ontop of that we are pulling up close to a red light.
Now, i'm not afraid to fight.. but there are two overweight men and only one of me. Right now i'm more concerned for my girlfriend ... so as all the cars are slowing down for the red light (we're all still going 20ks or so) the passenger of the commadore opens his door and is ready for the smackdown.
I'm thinking .. aw shit, so the next best thing I can do is pull off to the left exit lane and try to lose him in the residential area.
So I floor it off the road i'm on and tear into this area, with lots of winding bends .. and looking into the mirror I see the pissed off commadore. I overtake a car driving at less than 50, (I'm going 80ks+) and take these bends at crazy speeds, the rear kicking out and wheels screeching. As i take two more corners and realize I cant see the commadore anymore .. but sure as hell can hear him.
Thinking again, heel toe another couple of corners and drift into a court where I quickly drive and park into a total strangers carport.
Sitting in the car in silence for at least 5-10 seconds I hear the commadore tearing past the court and disappearing down the road.
I managed to get onto the main road and get home safely after that. I was just glad my g/f was ok .. although a little shaken up from the driving .. but later she told me she wasnt scared because she knew my driving anyway ...
Moral of the story:
Patience is indeed a virtue. 
Road rage is a baaaaaaaaaad thing. 
DAnG that was long. If you've gotten to the bottom .. well done for you!

DO make sure you have something with you next time.
You sound like a very decent guy and it would be a shame if you had gotten smacked down in that fight.
Lucky you got skill

Sounds like you got lucky...
My advice is to NOT give the finger to TWO guys in a car if you are not a black belt in a form of martial arts if you care a bean for the welfare of your girlfriend.
Good luck in the future.
Regards superaw11.

But as if you'd expect them to actually get out of the car when they were at fault

Some people should be castrated to avoid pollution of the gene pool.

Benjamin: hehe, protection for my car.. aaannd me.
lyle-act: Hahaha, yeah man ... smackdown of the primal cavemen.
Lench: hehe true true .. later i felt happy the KE70 could outrun the commadore in the corners, but i might have just gotten lucky with the therefore lack of skill of the driver.
thu187: Aw.  haha thanks man. Funnily enough thanks to my job (working with kids) i have odd sorts of misc stuff in the car ... so next time i'll be armed with a foam baseball bat .. or a stuffed barney.
superaw11: Thanks for the advice .. i should have reacted differently, but having learnt what happen i'll know better next time. (i'll just have more distance before I give the dual finger salute ... hahaha .. no no kidding)
Shraka: hahaha ... I guess its all kinds that makes the world such a facinating place.
