Most 4x4 drivers around here think "off road" is driving up the pavement to park to drop their kids off for school.
I thought it WAS the kids driving the 4 x 4's up there

Most 4x4 drivers around here think "off road" is driving up the pavement to park to drop their kids off for school.
The other element of bad driving which seems to be on the increase is running red lights. These days when we are stopped at a busy junction waiting for the lights to change it's almost inevitable that at least one vehicle will go through a red.
We live in a village accessed via a single track road with passing places. Today, on returning from a trip out with our MH we were about halfway along the lane when a "Gentleman" driving a black Audi A4 entered the lane from the opposite end.
On seeing our MH he accelerated along the lane, ignoring two passing places, until he ended up bumper to bumper with us. He then preoceeded to wind down his window and tell us to reverse out of his "f***ing" way. We were told that drivers of such "F***ing" vehicles should not use narrow roads! He then turned off his ignition and sat with his arms folded.
By now we had another car behind us although this appeared to make no difference to the "Gentleman" concerned.
I got out of our MH and pointed out to him, politely of course, that since we were equipped with cooking facilities, toilet and beds we could probably wait there longer than he could.
At that he started his engine and reversed with the engine screaming all the way along the lane, again ignoring the passing places. As we passed him I noticed in my mirror that the car following us gave him a wave (of the two fingered variety)! At least the look on his face, and his irate reaction to the car following us showed that it wasn't just us who got up his nose.
Perhaps he was just having a bad hair day! :Angry:

What concerns me is, who in there right mind would buy an Audi when they can have a VW at half the price with the same engine

Nothing surprises me.
Mind you this is typical behaviour of German Vehicle Owners, VW, Audi, Burstner’s and Messerschmitt are top of the list. Just can’t trust these Eric worshiping rabble. A good sharp poke with a stick should have seen him off.
Thinks - must give him that [HI]sticker[/HI] for his Rapido saying "I wish I was a Burstner"
Is that all they offered you in Part Exchange?Thinks - must give him that sticker for his Rapido saying "I wish I was a Burstner"

This thread has made me laugh and also convinced me to get rid of £10. I am a newb (for this site and also being a motor homer) but had to reply to this. Love the idea of tea or reverse, tea. Is there a scientific equation for this?
Today I took my pride and joy for it's service which was probably a 25 mile journey round trip and witnessed some horrendous driving. The best one being an idiot who pulled alongside me at a set of traffic lights, his lane was right turn only mine being straight ahead. I knew exactly what his intentions were (big thing=slow, I can out accelerate it and get in the lane I should be in, but in front of the big thing). He got a shock when the big thing accelerated at the same speed as his car, I eventually let the idiot in and hopefully he will now be more road aware.
PS some Audi drivers know how to indicate, are polite and own a motorhome.

we all think we are big enough,hard enough,to handle any situation but it only takes one nutter to dispel that thought
