Close Call
Northbound on the M5 earlier, just north of Bristol. Hit by a heavy snowstorm around mid-day. Two idiots in the fast lane about 30 feet apart. Lots of traffic in front slowing down fast due to the snow, idiot 1 in front applied brakes and proceeded to do a 360 completely missing everyone, how I never know. Idiot 2 applies brakes and nosedives into central reservation.

I was about 10 feet behind them in left hand lane.

Why do people drive with no respect to the condition's, it amazes me.

Ahem... Whistle

Audi drivers are much worse nowadays... Laughing

Rule of angry German rep cars - the smaller the engine, the angrier (and worse driver) the rep.

320i is the lamest 3 series you can get - go figure. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

316i or 316d is more lame... but hey you have to admit , they do drive good and get great economy ...

They haven't made a 316i (or ever made a 316d I think) for ages! 318i is the smallest and weediest but the 320i is close - a hateful engine that often breaks down.

Of course 335d drivers are all great... Wink Laughing Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

no it isnt : behold the 316i E90 with 115hp (all at redline) and the massive torque of 160NM Very Happy
When I saw the movie I thought it was going to stall , when he dropped the clutch


sounds actually not too bad...

and how is the 335d in snow?
