Was up near Oldham, came to a largish mini roundabout and stopped for a grey RS3 coming from the right as you supposed to do.

Only then the driver and his mate was waving for me to go on, but my spidysense kicked into overdrive, I refused to go.

Next thing the RS3 launched at full power, does a 4 wheel power slide turn around the roundabout and goes back the way he came at warp 11

Dodged that bullet

Must fit a dash cam

Sounds the normal way Audi RS3, S3 and Golf R are driven.

That still going on, would have thought insurance companies could spot it several miles off now.

Do people actually do “crash for cash” in fancy cars?

Are you sure he didn't just want you out of the way?

It was heavy residential, going deeper into town, and he went back the way he came

Not very often, sounds nothing like a crash for cash scam. How would the explain to insurers they drove into the side of you and couldn't stop. Sounds more like a div bruv wanting the OP out of the way so he could nonce about around the roundabout in peace.

Sounds more like he wanted to do a power slide without you suddenly pulling out and endangering you, then you refused to go so he did it.
