Leaving the A3 at Ockham/Ripley last night (going away from M25), in the right hand lane of the exit slip as turning right the roundabout. A3 is grinding to a halt.

Clean looking silver C43 estate in the inside lane of the A3 decides without any warning (or signal) to take the exit - carving across the shaded area at 45 degrees towards the slip road. I slammed on the brakes and stopped ... he also stopped with nose of his car about a foot from the front wing of our Audi.

I carried on, he cut in behind me, shot into the empty left hand lane of the slip, roared up to the front of the queue then turned right :rolleyes:

I should have looked for a sticker saying "my other car's a BMW" :D

Hopefully nobody here ...

PS my passenger was a Glaswegian ex-para - I think what he said to the C43 driver was something along the lines of "my dear chap, that was a terribly antisocial piece of driving" :)

I'm surprised you could understand what he was saying at all! :D
 
but if you are going to get cut up, C43 estate is a nice car to be cut up by.
 
Cut up isn't so bad ... this was very nearly rammed!
 
Nah he'll just "burst" him...:rock:

LOL!

Don't see Fuzzer much these days. When I first joined he was on here almost daily. :dk:
 
Reg No ??
 
Wasn't me :-) Car was on the drive all day in NW London
 
on the topic of estates, I saw an Audi estate launch the other way at the lights today, this estate actually out ran a motorbike from what I could see :o
 
That''l be an RS6 i expect ....

Don't tell Glojo though , he has a thing about traffic light GP's , as i found out in the other thread :o
 
Got in before me re: GJ:D
