well seemingly interesting enough for a Audi A6 owner to want to give chase and not be outdone it seems

All the video shows is your awful gearchanges

Shame you uploaded the wrong bit, your video doesnt prove anything.

whatever, clearly no one believes me which is hardly surprising in the loved up world of Audi loving PHers. If that owner was driving a more interesting car and not a 138hp derv with as much poke as a wheelbarrow they might have been able to drive on a bit faster on the slip road itself, I should have uploaded the rear footage as it was pretty desperate watching the owner passing out cars on all lanes totaly recklessly to catch up, the only reason I posted as i recalled it being the same car on the slip road, an A6 burner POS.

• mental note to self, keep future footage for German fanboys on PH.

Have you got the video from when a 1 series left you for dead?!

That’s the spirit.

Although anyone who posts dashcam footage up on YouTube is a bit special

it looks like Audi drivers dont like getting overtaken either- overtook this dozy driver this afternoon and it seems the driver was having none of it and once the powerful 2.0 tdi torque kicked in made a stern effort to catch up and pull infront of me after frantically navigating 3 lanes to get around cars in doing so, odd

I think you posted the wrong video?

That’s a lot of sky, rotate the dash cam downwards slightly !

Sky TV?

Interesting gearchanges...

What is it with this guy and German cars?

[roadsmash]

Eric you have had a mare.

It’s all well and good saying you’ve lost the footage since uploading it, but you should have uploaded it in the first place!

My bet is that you were antagonising the Audi driver at the very least, hence why you didn’t upload that part of the video.

Eric all you’ve shown by uploading that footage is knobbeads can be seen driving any vehicle, not just Audi S cars.

I was thinking, reminds me of this guy who had a massive rant a while ago about German estates for some reason. Same guy

Going to do yourself some damage holding onto that stress for all this time.

People forced to drive low rent pcpd Audis generally have a huge chip somewhere about their persons because they cannot possibly afford a proper car until they grow up.

Since when did an s3/s5/s6/s7 become cheap to pcp?

Most would be between 300-500pm that ain’t exactly cheap

No that long ago, that same tag line was still being nationally attributed wholly to BMW drivers.

I am not sure if BMW has lost market share for that particular sector, or if there are just Audi's on the road than there used to be at the same price range..

You're right. A few years ago it was BMW drivers driving like cocks. Now if you're on the motorway, and someone is driving up your chuff, odds are its an Audi. There's both the aggressive "get out of my way" mob, and there is also the "I'll drive up your arse in whichever lane you happen to be in, even if I could overtake" mob. Its like they've got the units wrong on the auto cruise control, and set it to 50 millimeters rather than 50 meters.

No idea on S cars, my only data point is a local builder who is a grade 1 knob.

I find Merc a and c class prime "knobhead cars" probably not helped by the fact there is a ridiculous amount of them on the road that even if only 0.1% of those that drive them are bellends you will still encounter a few a day.

Early 2000's I always felt it was the Vectra and lexus IS drivers that were the biggest bellends almost like they were out to prove something as they had not been able to get into one of the German three, but over the years with the entry to each getting cheaper (relatively) and more attractive then you see them in the German cars.

You do seem to get less BMW knobs than 4 or 5 years ago but then I think a lot of that is cos there just seems to be less of them on the road, or at least from my experience. Every other car on the road is an a class merc

Oh you really don't like diesels do you lol.

yonex said:

Pathetic.

Your car isn’t especially quick or interesting.

I should add that its a damn sight more interesting than some useless A6 oil burner with 138bhp and CVT, if that owner was not a penny pencher and have a decent engine itself and not some puny POS in a A6, which I thought (not being an Audi expert of course) was one of the bigger class models and deserving of some engine that commands at least some respect but since you also drive some seemingly useless Audi sales rep mobile you probably are on the same wavelength as this driver

very easy to upset the fragile egos of German owners on here it seems, I regret not posting the rear footage now but it was basically said A6 Audi of orangish colour approaching behind and using all 3 lanes to navigate and barge past traffic to finally get alongside me and then with me in the outside lane the driver finally got his medal and branched into the gap between my car and the one in front, pretty desperate and sad - If I was a c**t i could have just blocked him off but I had some sympathy and the owner may have spontaneously combuststed from anger had they not got ahead of a Subaru which as everyone knows has no right to get the better of a car of such quality as an Audi

I would have thought it was obvious. It's hardly surprising an Audi was right up behind you, they're the pinnacle of drivers' cars with wicked performance and class leading 4WD. You don't really expect a non-Audi to be able to get one over an Audi do you?

I looked at your profile which shows a picture of an engine which says H6. Is that a Hyundai? If it is it's no wonder you were overtaken. Somebody says it's a Subaru, but I thought their 3000cc engines were in tractor-type farmers' cars so they wouldn't be any match for an Audi.

You also haven't clicked that the Audi driver would be well used to driving and handling a high performance drivers' machine, your Hyundai or Subaru thingy is not comparable in any way. The Audi's point was he wanted to get past you and you were a bit slow in realising that you had a high performance German-made machine behind you. Don't worry about that, not everyone has the same skills and abilities, but as an Audi driver myself it took me a while to recognise that not all drivers were made out to be able to deal with the Audi experience, either driving or the pride of ownership.

If I was you and if you want to be a success in life, be respected by other road users and the envy of everyone I would change your car and buy an Audi. Then you could use your dashcam to show how good an Audi is compared to anything else on the road. It's a great feeling.

You know, I probably would be if some weirdo in an old Subaru came blaring past, whilst making gearchanges like a 17 year old the first time that they tried to drive fast That owner probably didn’t even actually notice you, he or she was just on the way home, minding their own business? They also probably use the company car to fund other weekend cars and drive around with smiles on their faces, like normal folk do?

What made you so cross that day, had you flown second class with onehunglow airlines and been served some lukewarm noodles? Or did the hotel curtains, which you catalog on YouTube, malfunction?

Are you just angry with the world?

Always make sure to put S cars in their place on slip roads... Mines a debadged 335d X drive so their face as a car that they thought was a 320d comes sailing past

you need to go back to the thread and read it again, I left it for dead at lights on the M271 and in a similar case to the A6 it managed to catch up (switching lanes to do so nonetheless) and tried to prod my rear bumper on the outside lane of the M271, we were approaching a roundabout at redbridge and I was going well fast enough as it was so I just let it go on its merry way, clearly it was pissed off that a clonky Subaru left it for dust and like the Audi driver it seems that is just not acceptable behaviour and a Japanese car just cannot do that to anything out of Bavaria

I dont know why a poorly Subaru seems to ignite such angst among Audi and BMWs, mostly oil burners it has to be said

I did f**k all to that idiot, aside from brushing that A6 aside at the slip road I never saw it again until it appeared alongside me about 10 minutes later and then it even indicated to get infront of me on the outside lane, of course I recognised the oil burner as it was dithering on the slip road earlier so when I got home I saw the footage and was astonished the owner went to such trouble to seemingly get in front of me, it can only because they were pissed off from getting blasted past on the slip road.

No other car was causing any menace (ie changing lanes and trying to barge through, other than A6 driver)

I felt some pity so let it get in front of me after all that trouble it went to
