Default TT drivers

On the way home tonight I encountered an ass in a TT (53 Plate), single exit so probably bottom of the range 1.8. In traffic he kept flashing his brake lights right in my face, very annoying, and to make matters worse he kept flooring it and pulling in and out of the traffic only to end up one car in front. The lights turn green, he moves into inside lane, waits for me to come along side then canes it. Drove normal speed as usual and just ignored him, he turns off. Then 5 minutes later southbount on the A1 another one flies off the slip road and right up my chuff, needless to say dropped to 3rd and left him for dust. I know its bad to be ding it in these conditions but couldnt resist it. oops.

must have been the bog standard one as u wont leave a 225 tt , the s just has the edge but not by alot, my mate has one, and we have had a little play, his beat mine when he had a remap and i now beat him since i got the turbo haha

maybe he was flashing his brake lights as the lights on the S2000 are quiet bright and he might have thought u had on full beam??? had many people think mine are on full

I can't say I make any particular association between the TT and poor driving

Nothing like I would make with, say, diesel drivers (any manufacturer)

Or lower spec/smaller capacity beemers

You're most likely to get that kind of behaviour from a c*ck in an A4 TeDIous

Clarkson said it best

The cocks who used to drive beemers are now driving Aldi's

I had one yesterday in a new TT

He thought he was driving a minature Gallardo

Had to laugh when a bus cut him up

Must have give him a real brown trouser moment

Yes but the 180bhp ones also have 1 tailpipe.

Guess what one of the most popular mods to TTs is?
