    Hi,

    This not just Audi dealers. I had something similar in BMW dealer. Also I've had it in other dealers as well.

    Your source shows a Toyota MR2 at 129ft. It would be interesting to have figures for other light sporty cars. Anyway a cheap sports car makes your bike figures look a little silly.

    Hi Dean,

    I can only go by my own experience. I have been to 2 separate Audi dealers and a VW (for a S/H Polo for my daughter) but they made pretty sure I'll never feel the need to revisit them again.

    Visiting a Mercedes and BMW dealers was a complete contrast. I felt they were making an effort to sell me a car. It probably is nothing more than a coincidence. I probably just met their friendly salesmen, maybe the real SoBs were off that day.

    Holey moley! And you lot think BM drivers are bad.

    The cops aren't much good at breaking windows, are they?

    I wonder how many 'accidents' he suffered at the station.

    It does seem odd that the windows didn't break.

    In this case a good kicking in the cells could certainly seem appropriate, hope he got one (or more).

    That's because that cop was trying to smash it with a twig.

    Wrong types of sticks I would imagine. Would have thought they would issue traffic police with something far more effective at breaking in to cars.

    I hope they did the guy for attempted murder to be honest.

    £50 says he got off with a minor traffic offence, then jumped bail and was never seen again, we don't punish people in this country. Had that been the USA he would have been shot, he's a danger to himself and others, the way he ramed the police bike and the poor (and I'm sure terrified) learner driver.
