5600 miles in 5 months. Was 2000 in three weeks, so have calmed down a bit since!

Still can't understand why people always want to race me at traffic lights, motorways, etc. Was driving back on M25 late last night and it was pretty quiet. A BMW (318i) driver comes screaming up behind me (I was in inside lane minding my own business) and then pulls along side egging me on. I ignored him so he dropped back but then did it again 5 mins later... I wasn't getting goaded in to it cos you never know who's in the car of if its undercover plod.

What a waste of time!!

Best ignore them, I get the odd git every now and then, it just seems they have got to get past at any cost or tailgate you until you give it some welly :angry:  My mate has more grief now he's got his RS4 than in any other car :shocked:

6,400km in 6 months.  It is definitely freeing up, and don't notice any difference between 95 and 98 octane fuel.
