Was driving the P1 into Manchester city centre, there's a guy in an Audi at the lights on the other side of the road, flashing his lights like no tomorrow. I drive past and look at him, he's got his head out of the window giving the the '******' hand sign? What's all that about ? I think it may have been an S3

scooby_xt_turbo

HE was probably saying: i am a ****** who bought an S3 instead of a proper P1!!!!

I got similar treatment from a pickup truck in Royston a while back!

You just sit there and think 'why?'

scooby_xt_turbo

it is not road rage, its road jealousy!!!

Dazzler

He probably wasn't looking at you Ash. He was just checking out what he looked like in the reflection of the shop windows opposite.

No doubt he was pleased with what he saw...

He might be a rally driver.... had a win in a scoob and was merely basking in his glory, spraying the champagne all over again?

No, he was definately Mr Angry, it wasn't even rush hour, I can only think he had an inferior complex about driving the S3 (or lower spec) against my shiny P1. Arsehole.

Type_RA

Could be you flat-four burble interupting his reception on his mobile, or radio 4 .

pslewis

Just a thought - but maybe he was offering you a sexual favour??

Did you have Gold Wheels on? I find that they tend to attract the rent boys

What did you do?

And why was it road rage?

I take it he was stopped at the lights,if you would have got out of your car and knocked him out I would consider that to be road rage.
Otherwise just childish banter.

You had your foglights on and it wasn't foggy? Oh no, Scooby drivers don't do that, do they?

I've never seen a scooby driver with their fog lights on, usually find its the inferior manufactured sports cars that do - they have something to prove I guess.

I wouldn't call that road rage, he might just have been signalling 'cos he thought he knew you. Or maybe he mistook you for the guy that humped his missus. This is what I would call road rage. When someone tries deliberately to force you off the road for no reason, he ought to be locked up for the publics protection.

I've had this before, asked my wife what she thought of it as we drove on and couldn't quite fathom it until we drove through a mobile speed trap. Fortunately I was so confused by the other driver I had slowed down plenty

WoIfie

Sounds like he's been cut up or raced or something by a car that looks like yours either that or he wants to give you manly love lol

LG John

Fail to see how it can be road jelousy given that he could sell the S3 tomorrow and buy a P1 with the money!

Maybe you did something to pi55 him off in the past and he recognised your car.

Hmmm, plain boring looking Audi against my classic looking P1 ? I mean I park the P1 at work and give it a second look half way down the car park - still looks the bizz and distinct after 9 months of ownership. If you want to blend in then get an Audi ... Saxoboy - get real dude.

Ash1 - I agree, he has car envy !, The P1 is a far more involving car than the S3 (which as quoted in CAR "a TT in sensible clothes - but then who wants to be sensible ?").
Saxo Boy - Maybe he could by a P1 and have change, just goes to show how over priced the S3 is !.

scooby nutter

Are you sure he wasnt doing a hand scissor jesture indicating he is a Hair dresser???
after all who else would drive such a car??

Perhaps he was exercising his wrists after having them stuck to lifeless numbness inducing steering feel....Blutes
