I worked with a fella who admitted he'd over shot the junction on the motorway, so reversed up the on slip road. Naughty.

Then, crunch, backed into an on-coming car.

Two mins later coppers turn up, he's canning it, copper come up to his car and says 'Carry on Sir, the guy in car behind is blind drunk, swears blind you were reversing up the slip road.....'

Probably not even true...

In my experience the vast majority of Audi drivers seem to believe they are racing car drivers and that the world ought to get out of their way...

I don’t drive slowly, and my wife tells me I’m prone to being a bit aggressive (especially in the Range Rover), but any time I find myself being cut up, or having someone right on my tail you can guarantee it’s a bloke in an Audi...

however, in full disclosure, I had an A3 1.8T Sport when I was mid twenties and I drove that like a ****!

Its all rubbish, its not the car its the driver. Do you think that the Audi RS driver gets into his or her Maserati and suddenly becomes a saint!
Not only a saint but can outcorner Lewis if they so wished (but of course being so saintly they don't!)

Having lived in Ireland myself, the first thing I noticed there was that red lights were advisory only

All lights are advisory, even pedestrian crossing, railway crossing, even headlights, brake lights, indicators etc. Same is true of yellow boxes, yield or stop signs, one way & no entry in fact any rule is probably open to personal interpretation.

If we can extend the dominations from cars to “vehicles” then the nominations in no particular order have to be
  1. left hand drive lorries
  2. moped food delivery riders
  3. the lady in the white BMW 1 series I see around the M40 / Handycross / A404 most weeks - she really has a death wish

Used to be generally regarded as RS Audis. But now so ubiquitous hard to differentiate.

Recently I've noticed a serious pretender to the throne - the Ford Ranger. These pointless and vile yank boxes seem to be perpetually driven by colossal bell ends. Pulling out in front of you then crawling, driving in the opposite gutter when passing parked cars, permanent indicator failure, parking across 3 spaces....the works. Forum thoughts?
Spot on. My coDirector has had one a little while now and it already looks like a ten year old vehicle. I’m scared to get in it.

Yes, its the car. In my truck I am Taki Inoue, but in my Maserati my name is Fangio.

Funny... 20 years back that was the BMW driver... so much so when the A4 came out they used that stereotype as the basis for the advert campaign.

As I use my QP as a DD I get threatening driving from people driving;

  1. Audis
  2. BMWs
  3. Golfs

Oddly all German makes....

Golf drivers are the worst since they seem to be older pimped up ones driven by Chavs (England), Neds (Scotland) or Nackers (Ireland)....

Add 'N' plates into the mix (New driver in Ireland) and it's a potential accident waiting to happen.

Some useful Irish nomenclature...

Culchie = someone from countryside, usually means West of ireland
Bogger = Same as above
Locked = Drunk
Getting a shift = obtaining kissage
Jackeen = Dubliner
Gas = Good
Nacker = Chav

Poem by John Lillison, England's greatest one-armed poet.

In Dillman’s Grove, our love did die,
And now in ground shall ever lie.
None could e’er replace her visage,
Until your face brought thoughts of kissage.

And

O pointy birds, o pointy pointy,
Anoint my head, anointy-nointy.
