Why is it always an Audi

Post by chrisisaacbike »

Hey you. [Inappropriate text removed]. There are walkers and people on horseback and nice animals , not that you ever see them as your stare vacuously through your screen. Most importantly of all, there is me on my bike enjoying the beautiful countryside and the fresh air.

Here is an idea, for you. Slow Down. Better still, die in your sleep. Tonight.


May your women be barren and your crops wither in the field.

It isn't always an Audi. Poor driving standards from drivers of other brands of automobile are also available.

Saddened that you would wish death upon anyone.

Why? I appreciate that you may not want to wish the driver "boomshanka" but what have his women ever done to you?

Speaks volumes about the OP. Same attitude as the Audi driver I guess.

Pfft. Your insults are as weak as your intellect.

You stinking billy-goat, you horned monster, you malevolent vituperator, father of lies and author of chaos… May Divine vengeance destroy you as an enemy of virtue, a parricide who tries to ruin wives and decency by mendacity, slanders, and most foul, false imputations. If you must be so scornfully arrogant, write your satires against those who debauch your wife. Vomit the putrescence of your stomach

If you hold this belief then I suspect that this is a case of confirmation bias. The same as people who ignore all the responsible cyclists and only remember the bad ones

It is a bit of "humour", not my taste but allowable I think. I think I might rather like to die in my sleep, but I not yet

The type of vehicle mentioned is indeed often badly, aggressively driven, maybe the drivers are angry after realising they paid so much more for no reason, for something almost identical to a Skoda

I've just sold my Audi and can honestly say I was never angry that I hadn't bought a Skoda, nor did I ever drive it aggressively

I live very near an Audi Garage and so see them often and never had a problem. If I did now have a problem with one, given how many I see I would have to say that there is no correlation

Sorry, but I cannot help but be reminded of that old joke:
'When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not wide awake and screaming like all his passengers...'

We just bought our third Audi. Still have the second one: at 18 years old and 256,000 km it still feels solid, and has had no problems beyond having to have the wheels replaced because two dogs peeing regularly on aluminium does narsty things. Should have anticipated that. If the new one lasts as well it'll see me out.

Audis don't have the rep over here that they do in the UK: here, they're as common as get out and only the great big black ones with SUV pilot fish front and rear raise eyebrows.

BMWs, though, that's another matter. Heh: in French they're just called BMs, which always reminds me of Cheery Nurse: "And have we had a BM today?"

Who put the BM in the BMW?
Have we got time for another cuppa?

The audi driver got booked for parking on a double yellow line, then the police booked themselves afterwards :) .

I find that old 'joke' in rather bad taste (see the first post), but I guess you are allowed to post it in the spirit of free speech

I prefer to make jokes against myself, I drive a Volkswagen, I am a harmless idiot :-))
Other makes of vehicle are available, some of them are driven by nasty idiots
