Here Audi drivers have a bigger image problem than most. It used to be BMW drivers who were considered to be the most self-important idiots on the road, but in the last few years Audi drivers seem to have taken the baton and they're running with it. Doesn't help that Audi have fitted daytime running lights to their new cars, and that the new cars are the ones being driven by the cocks. Now they're likely to cut you up in traffic and be glaringly obvious doing so. There are a whole load of badly driven Q7s, R8s and RS6s around here. -- Pete M - OMF#9 '62 Rover P4 100 '61 Rover P5 3 litre '72 Rover P6 3500 Auto '78 Escort 1300 Sport '99 Audi A6 V6 Quattro Avant "It's an Alfa, it will go wrong, it will **** you off, why should your Alfa experience be different from everyone else's.

I've turned mine off. I wondered if they were switchable, but I've not noticed any with them off. That could be because the ones that are on are so easily spotted, and from what I've observed, pretty badly driven. Then again, when I've had Volvos I've always turned the bloody things off. -- Pete M - OMF#9 '62 Rover P4 100 '61 Rover P5 3 litre '72 Rover P6 3500 Auto '78 Escort 1300 Sport '99 Audi A6 V6 Quattro Avant "It's an Alfa, it will go wrong, it will **** you off, why should your Alfa experience be different from everyone else's.

Not so many of those around here, which is probably why for now we Audi drivers haven't got that bad a reputation. -- Jon B Above email address IS valid. <http://www.bramley-computers.co.uk/> Apple Laptop Repairs. |

When Audi first came out with the BIG GRILL in the A4, I thought it was ugly, and I still do. But when it hit the A3 it looked a bit sleeker, then A5 made it look great and on the new TT it looks stunning. So they have refined the "Look" and it is improving. Nevertheless, if I were to buy an A4 it would still be the 2005 model with the old style front. -- wallyr25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wallyr25's Profile: http://www.audiforum.ca/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://www.audiforum.ca/showthread.php?t=46331 |
