In video footage shot by a bemused onlooker, the wheelchair user prevents the motorist from passing by wheeling directly in front of him.Confused and annoyed, the irate driver then tries to convince the man to move - beeping his horn repeatedly. But in the end he is forced to get out of the sports car and wheel the man to the side of the road by hand.Even then the determined joker continues to try and get back in front of the car. He is eventually restrained by another pedestrian.The David versus Goliath stand-off was filmed by Joe Haskett, 21, who was returning from a lunch break when he stumbled across the exchange.

Speaking to MailOnline, Mr Brewer said: 'We do a lot of charity work with the cars, and I was out in Gloucester when this happened. As you can imagine, the cars draw huge attention everywhere they go, so we're always happy to pull up and let kids have a photo with them, or hear the engines roar.

I don't really know why - it must have been the car.'I asked him to move but he wouldn't. By this point there were around 50 or 60 people filming it all.
