    Not just Audi drivers who take the occasional liberty

    Not the worst driving in the world but he had plenty of time to stop, and seems he only wanted to get across the lights to catch up with his mate he had obviously just spotted the other side of the junction

    Sepang v Nogaro Black Pack (or why I have ordered a Floret Silver S3 saloon)

    The Navarra black pack has been in the car park for the last couple of months but its the first time I have been able to park next to it to get a side by side shot Interesting comparison as not seen many, if any at all, side by side shots of what initially look very close colours.
