Audi a1 drivers... why didn’t they just get an a3?! Lol
Well, if you’re taking about the cooking/shopping version of the A1 then I’d probably agree.

If we’re taking S3/RS3 vs S1 then I’d buy the S1 every time. Big engine, small car and very unique in its sector.

If I was looking at an S3/RS3 I’d get the Golf R or A45/35 because it’s better or a M140i for the engine.

Dog walkers and doggers too I imagine?
It's just another way for the goofy types to try to circumnavigate the law. No need to take a dog for a walk, for those with a garden let it run around outside. For those unfortunate to have a flat, a treadmill would do.
Just an excuse to get out when everyone should STAY AT HOME!

Cars need exercise smile
No... really they don't!
Just lock the car up and do what you're being told to do, STAY AT HOME..

You are allowed to not 'stay at home' Just be sensible about it.

Are you that dog whisperer bloke? Train the dog run on a treadmill rolleyes

What about the delivery driver who gives you CV19 handing over the treadmill (for those fools who don’t have a dog treadmill in their studio apartment already.

There’s no circumnavigation of the law either, you are allowed to leave your house.

My twitter feed tells me that people are still managing to hit each other on motorways despite them being, presumably, pretty empty.

Doubt it's significant. I've blasted for miles and not seen anything resembling an accident. My twitter says the roads are empty,

Still insignificant though. Just a blip in the grand scheme of things. I tripped on the pavement yesterday.

I just mentioned it in passing mate.
If you want to win an argument, be my guest.

My local hospital has ten times the number of empty beds than usual and the staff are bored. Probably a great time to need a hospital visit outside of London.

Had to commute to work on Thursday and I think Cheshire council are putting people off taking their toys out this weekend by heavily salting all the roads that afternoon. It's the only explanation given it's been warming up since Tuesday. That or they're utter buffoons.
..actually nevermind.

I think its amazing, all those unnecessary journeys not being , made, the co2 not being pumped out.. I can actually ride my bike on the roads without fear of some donut trying to kill me. I wonder if we could appeal for less road usage in general instead of having an electrical market, Improve the rail/tram network and it would be splendid for sound, emissions and resource burning ! Trust me, i love my car (c63) but ive not used it in a week, i'll have a quick blast this weekend but one car making a bit of a blare is nothing compared to all the lorries. unnecessary journeys being made by people who cant be arsed to cycle or walk to the local shop to pick up a few things..?!

Surely all those lorries are delivering stuff we want to buy ?

Unlike your weekend car drive for no reason.

Indeed.

People going out "for a bit of a blare" are potentially contributing to the problem.
