Oddly enough, when I had a Touareg as a courtesy car a few years back, it did an emergency brake (not stop as it didnt stop) on a NSL coutry lane for no reason whatsoever. Luckily no one was behind me at the time

Think I encountered the Audi Final Boss yesterday. M25 southbound toward J5 (where it splits into M25/A21). Three lanes - left for M25 only, middle for M25/A21, right for A21 only.
I'm in the middle for A21. No one to my left or behind me for a while. One car in the right hand lane, slowly gaining on me. Behind that car, an Audi Q3 comes storming up. Tailgates it. It moves over to slot in behind me. Audi blasts past, private plate. Then swings in front of me, straight over to the left to come off for the M25 with not much time to spare.
As he's left it so late, he has to almost immediately slow down, so I end up passing him as the roads split. I look over, and the driver happens to look back straight at me, and he looked like the epitome of the "powerfully built company director" meme from Pistonheads - not at all powerfully built, early 50s, slicked back greying hair, oversized watch, and a gilet. Had the most angry, sneering expression on his face. I guess he was angry at me having the temerity for just existing, and causing him to have to cut me off to get over to the lane he wanted(even though there was plenty of room behind me to do so in good time, but of course, we cant have an Audi behind anyone, can we?).
Douche.

Definitely sounds like Audi Final Boss. Not sure how can this be topped to be honest.

Stop trying to make body warmer sound posh
. The private plate just sums it up imo.I was led to believe there was a difference between a "body warmer" and a "gilet". Not sure what exactly it is, I guess it depends on the size of your stock portfolio...Stop trying to make body warmer sound posh
Involved in a collision during a police chase last night.
Only minor and minimal damage.
Police chasing two illegal motorbikes, one tried to undertake me as I turned onto my driveway. Didn't see any blue lights until it was too late as the end of my road, about 30yrds behind me, is a T-junction. No sirens either.

Shame you didn't manage to corner him, that would have been a good save!
You mean you attempted a TPAC. Clever thinking

My instant thought was to push the throttle and pin him under the car but the blue lights told me not to
I drove back down from Oban on the morning of Storm Amy, once on the M74/M6 we saw a lot of people without lights on, even though vis was poor. A good number blasting along the outside lane like it was a sunny day too.
