Curious about Audi drivers

99 replies

Every day I come across Audi drivers on the road and they spark a curiosity in me like nothing else. Who are they? What do they do for work and fun? Where do they go on their holidays? Why do they drive like that? How did they pass their test? So many questions and so few answers...
Can anyone shed any light? Do you drive any Audi? and is it white?

Audi driver here (mines black 😂) and I've honestly never understood comments like this. There's loads of idiots on the road in all types of cars, not just Audi's. I like to think I'm a decent driver, sensible, patient. I nearly got taken out the other day on a roundabout by a bloke in the wrong lane. He was in a complete world of his own and it wasn't an Audi that he was driving 🤷🏼‍♀️.

But since you asked, I work in recruitment and passed my test first time 😉

My exH used to drive an Audi. He's a salesman and drives like that because he's an arrogant muppet who thinks he's such a good driver that he could never crash.

He now drives a BMW.

I used to. I drove an Audi TT. It wasn’t new when I got it and I’d been driving for a long time and had saved for a long time. The kids at school loved it. It wasn’t white.

What I found was that it was a red rag to a bull for any male. Traffic lights? They’d race to get away before me. Overtaking me? Yep! All the time. Dismissive attitude from the Audi garage? Most certainly. They couldn’t bring themselves to address me when the car went to the garage for a service.

Erm...don't you mean BMW drivers?? 😂(just joking.)

Audi drivers are wonderful, patient, kind, generous, courteous and go on holiday to a wide variety of places, both home and abroad.

Mine is blue and I love it 😁

My dad drives an Audi. He's a retired accountant. My parents mainly use the car to go to Waitrose and to their volunteering commitments.

fucketyfuckwit · 31/10/2022 21:56

Audi drivers are the best!!

I drive a new Audi TT with a prat plate and I adore it! It gets admired a lot and I get looked at a lot.

I'm not a flashy person generally but I've worked so hard building what I have that I'm going to enjoy it.

I have indicators that work, but it's very likely I will over take you as I love feeling the power!! 😁😁😁

OOvavuuu · 31/10/2022 21:58

Well, I have to say it, you all sound quite lovely and I'd probably enjoy going on holiday with you.Where do you go though? Ibiza (grey Audi)? Turkey (blue or black Audi)? Dubai (definitely white!)?
I'm really only having a bit of fun... I actually drive a BMW! I know, I know, people in glass houses and all that

What's ironic is on the drive home from picking said Audi up, an identical one to mine cut me up twice😬

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 31/10/2022 22:00

I love my Audi, It was brought for the great safety rating it has. Mines grey, she needs a clean though so maybe a touch of brown from the mud 😭

Escarpahell · 31/10/2022 22:00

I have 2! A pocket rocket A3 1.8 turbo that's 21 yrs old with 360k km on the clock but still makes me smile when it corners on rails plus a 6yr old A4 estate which is...boring. Mind you, my last "good" car was a Porsche Cayenne S so anything else is bound to be sedate!

VerveClique · 31/10/2022 22:00

I drive a white Audi but I’m very boring! It’s actually my second white Audi!! I tried black for a bit but it didn’t suit me Grin.

sunflowersandtomatoes · 31/10/2022 22:01

I used to have a convertible TT. Loved that car. I looked amazing in it. We recently bought an A1. It’s nothing like the TT, but it still feels a bit similar for some reason. I like it so far. And of course I’m an excellent driver (although my husband is dreadful).

Shade17 · 31/10/2022 22:01

I assume it’s because they’re stuck driving an absolute bag of shit.

OOvavuuu · 31/10/2022 22:01

@fucketyfuckwit OK, now I'm curious.. I need to hear more about you! what do you do for fun? Can I be extra cheeky and ask where you do your food shop?

Ha ha, I run my own small business.

I holiday in France generally with friends in big houses with pools.

I shop in Asda and Sainsburys as they are closest to home and convenient.

Grey Audi, eleven years old. Work as a therapist, do lots of yoga and meditation, go walking, read a lot and study Buddhism. Go camping on holiday.

In terms of why I drive like I do, It’s a steady away automatic which is probably (in spite of the age) one of the best cars I’ve ever driven. Very comfy, lots of space and a tow bar. Didn’t go looking for one but was head and shoulders above everything else I test drove.

OOvavuuu · 31/10/2022 22:09

@fucketyfuckwit All sounds very nice indeed!

😂😂 I mostly holiday in the Greek Islands <white Audi> but have just booked Reykjavik for January if you’re interested 😂😂

Actually considering changing my car for a BMW… should I??

Triffid1 · 31/10/2022 22:11

I am.pretty sure I just drive like a normal person? But then, my audi is small - A1 - and arguably no posher than anyone else. O do love it though. My old.car had no power and dh' car is great but just so big. My car is super fun and I feel very comfortable it. I also quite like that most men find it uncomfortable because it is small!

ChecoPerez · 31/10/2022 22:15

Black Audi Q5 - holiday in Florida or Dubai.
I work in finance. Love my car! Coming up for renewal soon though! DH wants to trade it in for a Tesla..... 😩

OOvavuuu · 31/10/2022 22:15

@FunnyCradock I have a very dear friend who has moved to Reykjavik! Yes, absolutely, I'm in!! 😂

Audi TT quatro s-line black edition here! Owned it for 2 weeks!! After previously having Audi's but straying for a few years, I'm SO glad I've gone back to Audi!

I absolutely adore it. Gorgeous dark metallic grey colour with gloss black detailing. Definitely a 'looker' and I agree with PP - many times already have I been 'raced' off the line at traffic lights! ConfusedGrin I'd like to think I'm a safe, sensible considerate driver though!
