Driver tries to kill cyclist, hits building.

[Drago]

Off somewhere not buying Q7..?

How many seats does a Q7 have?

7

Once charged its about a 2 week to 2 month wait for court, but is she goes not guilty she'd be bailed again by the court for a full hearing which might be 6 or 8 months away.

And.why buy an Audi Q7 if you cant handle it? Crap off road, and no one is impressed by one. Even drug dealers don't want them.

its an audi and screams look at me which appeals to a certain mind set
(edit id like to point out most people who have cars of over 100hp are unable to handle them they just think they are. in most cases the driver hits their limit before the car reaches what it is capable of)

ok my car screams look at me (was mine now wifes) but for possibly all the wrong reasons
one thats on the black side of humour
im 16 stone 5 feet 11 inches with a 20 inch collar 50 inch chest get the drift?
i also have long blonde hair some children liken me to a certain film hero (quite cool at times as sometimes mums take a good long second look some dads do too...)
my old car is a fiat multipla (4 kids so 6 seats...)
my wife has decorated it with all manner of vinyl stickers mostly flowers and hippy chic logos....
i always find it funny when (and it is always these two) white van men or motorcyclists pull alongside and peer in and see my beardy mug under the blond mop and all of a sudden have an urge to either brake and vanish from view behind me or try and do a road runner act to get away
one slightly darker incident when an idiot cut me up in it and then slapped on the brakes got out as i had the temerity to use my road rage lights (aka frog eyes on the multipla) who suddenly found a reason to get back into his little red k plate bmw when i stepped down from the drivers side, i guess he expected some little blond thing to get out

If its a pitching contest I'm 6'3" (and three quarters, very important that) with a 56" chest. That's one of the 2 reasons I persist driving proper 4x4s, not pretend Audi ones, just so I can do boring stuff like actually close the drivers door. As you can see though, I don't have long blond hair. Just as well or I'd forever be mistake for a thunder God.

All Audi screams is "I can't afford a Mercedes, cant spell BMW"

I'm now stood in front of a mirror getting pumped and shouting motivational stuff, like "aaarrrggggghhhhhh."

Remember to give yourself several punches in the chest as you do so.

Was going to ask who drago is.
I'm not a gym freak it's all natural
No idea about being his dad I don't remember much from the early to mid 90's so who knows
Oh there is also the rather insignificant fact I'm am amazingly placid (although my posts may not come a cross that way. They are rarely meant in a malicious malevolent or any nasty way but do appear blunt at times (typing on touch screens Hal asleep with toddlers myths ring....)) and gentle

I've left that as it came out see who can spot the bloody auto correct iPhone deciding what words it thins I should use. It's not my fault the yanks lack my vocabulary and want to dumb everything down to a level Alex salmond could understand

Mild moderator comment: this thread is about a motorist deliberately trying to harm a cyclist. Please could you go elsewhere if you wish to trade insult about each other/car choices etc.

Ta muchly.

[edit] A couple of you have ignored the above. I might have to raise my level from 'mild' to 'slightly miffed' soon...

 

[noodle]

I think the q7 may not be relevant and that the driver would have reacted in the same manner possibly even worse in a car where she felt more vulnerable

 

[Drago]

Or possibly they might feel more likely to do so in a car which represents less of a financial loss if it were totalled? I'm not reckless in my tired old truck, but its worthless so supermarket trolley dings don't really worry me because it cost buttons. A less conscientious driver might extend that logic when faced with confrontation with an angry cyclist. To do it in a car worth a considerable sum of money like this lady did suggests an extreme determination to exert her will on another.
