Off I go, not 100% but still enough (100% makes an awful lot of noise, I only use it when I really need too as it attracts so much attention!), Audi loses.
Of course, he tail gates me and drives ultra aggressive behind me after that. Why do that? I can only surmise these people take it really personally, like I am insulting their over-inflated egos or something? Just after burning knob-head up we get stuck behind slow traffic anyway so no point tailgating me really...
This isn't the first time, and I've had some truly spectacular 'revenge' driving tactics from some drivers. I may do some traffic light GP's, but I don't break the law just to get some 'payback'. It's all just a bit of fun, not something to go risking an accident about just coz you lost.
People are really weird.
