....about the Audi A3.

It's *much* nicer than the Golf equivalent, rather than "nicer."

Still too expensive mind you!

Sadly they seem to be driven by twats who think an Audi badge on the front
makes them into driving Gods.

Isn't that the same with the majority of German stuff?

<FX:Think> Yes, unfortunately.

Last time I went up to the frozen north I was tailgated by an A3 driver in
a section of roadworks (single lane). He kept running up to the back of the
car flashing his headlights dropping back, repeating it.

50 limit, Specs speed cameras.

I was doing 50 by GPS and I really wasn't going to go any faster.

When we got to the NSL he slingshotted out to lane 2 and stamped on the
loud pedal. It was amusing that his TDi appeared unable to pull the skin
off rice pudding.

A3? This is usually reserved for Passat drivers!

By the time we got to the M62 he was all of 400 metres ahead of me. Still
it seemed to have soothed his ego that he passed me, although his car
struggled to keep pace with me increasing my speed back to my normal cruise
by tapping the (+) button on the cruise control.

Sensible people buy Leons and get the best of both worlds

Or Skoda, which is arguably even more sensible.

How could you tell it was a TDi if he was behind you?

An inability to spot whatever was behind it?

People with driving gloves, nodding hippies and a range of sunglasses
drive Seats.
