.........is it ALWAYS a ****ing audi! Whether it's behind you and up your arse like a German Shepherd wanting to make friends, or in front of you insisting that big 30 sign says 20! What IS IT with these people!? Do you just instantly get a bachelors degree in being a ****ing **** when you jump in one of these cars or what?

I've got the thumbprint on my forehead to prove it mate, loud and proud, completely gay! I mean under the thumb!

ahh...but your talking about your MPV experiences, of a particulaly rare mpv.

 

Having owned several MPV's myself, I would say thats not MPV's in general, which happily perform as well as ordinary cars and dont suffer with any more tramlining than any other car in my experience....

 

..and so dont have the excuse for what Richard has described....its the driver, not the vehicle.

 

Middle lane hoggers piss me off to...and I make sure they know it.

 

Fair point about the parking....although they should be using the Baby and toddler spaces....I do...with my 11yr old toddler :x:

True enough, but most MPVs these days are not MPVs, i.e. they carry like 5 people with 2 very uncomfortable illegal looking seats that raise up out of the boot, like in the utterly crap Ford Galaxy we rented to get us from Heathrow to Doncaster when we came back from NZ, with 2 kids and a truck full of luggage :D

 

I would use those spaces, if there were ever any empty, but I see lots of people pulling in and out of them, with what must be a 17 year old toddler who's also learning to drive, and most of the time they're all full. Plus if I'm perfectly honest, I try to take care of my vehicle no matter what it is, and I trust the Audi pricks to open their doors more carefully than I trust the mummys and daddys in their people carriers. :euro:

Parent and Child parking --> Parking spaces that you can open the doors fully and be knowhere near another car

 

 

I should prob clarifiy - I have a much younger daughter as well.....but 11yr old toddler just sounds funnier :laugh:

LOL yeah I knew what you meant, unfortunately you clearly haven't seen the setup at our ASDA or Tescos :D Trust me, you're safer next to the Audi. :lol:

when i had my red zed that was actually on the road (true story) i used to love parking in the child parking spaces while everyone watched going "no way has he got kids in that thing" only for me to pop the boot, whoop a buggy out and put my 1 year old little boy in, then get my 3 year old and put her in the trolley.

 

always used to laugh. plus you get no asses parking next to you with doors long enough to reach you.

Trust me, you don't know how good you guys have it!

 

I had to go for a pregnancy test last week because I had an Arab guy so far up my backside, you could see his headlights in my glovebox!

 

We love to moan about UK drivers, but actually, we're quite a disciplined lot. The other day, I was stationary at a set of lights and this Indian guy drove into me with his van, then started flapping his arms about like a chicken trying to fly, because I didn't let him cut-in at the last minute? I was stationary FFS!

 

Let me be clear though - I'm not making this into a race/ethnic thing - just pointing out the whole different driving cultures that exist elsewhere.

 

Over here its super aggressive. The more valuable your car is, the more important you are and the more risks you are prepared to take. Tail-gaiting is actually taught in driving schools to maximise efficiency of the road network. Roundabouts... Don't even get me started on them. If there is a single driver who understands how they operate, then I have yet to encounter them. Free-for-all doesn't do it justice.

 

Back in the UK, I'm with Richard - the people who piss me off the worst by far, are the 69mph brigade in the middle lane of the motorway. There is however, something we can do.. Just pull infront of these people and slow to 65mph, then 60mph.. until they over take. Then speed up a little.. and just hold them in the outside lane. If they speed up, you speed up. If they slow down, you slow down. I guarantee you, after 4-5 minutes there little brains will be cooked and they'll start panicking like a cat in a microwave. Eventually they'll be so petrified of overtaking they'll hug the inside lane like they do the middle lane now.

 

As Jeremy Clarkson said - put snipers on motorway bridges and keep pulling the trigger until people take notice :2guns:

Erm, I REALLY hate to say this, but I am one of the MPV drivers, despite the fact we don't have one atm, I'm the guy you're describing, but I'm going to explain why!...................

 

.............Sorry Richard, but the Audi driver is worse, his only excuse, is that he's a cock! :lol:

 

LOL - no need to explain yourself mate. I did put a disclaimer in my post to exclude any MPV drivers on this forum....:tt2:

 

And maybe more cocks drive Audis than any other brand of car; rather than most Audi drivers being cocks......:winkiss:

 

If that makes sense!!
