Did I turn into...

[Hippogriff]

...a nasty, wannabee-superior, overly-fastidious, detail-freak overnight..?

I saw a bright red A4 S line saloon (not cab. or Avant) this morning on the way in to work... LED DRLs (switched on!) and noticed that it did not have chrome exhausts.

This made me feel sorry for him... and it made me feel overly smug. A feeling I almost immediately regretted and told myself off for.

Later, coming home from work (left at 14:00 to go have a drive) I saw an A4 SE saloon with halogen DRLs... I had a wry chuckle to myself as I observed my bright white LED DRLs in the shiny bum of the car sat in front of me (yes, I was stationary at the time).

What a horrible person I seem to have become.

Will I feel inferior and cry if I have the misfortune to see someone in an S4, knowing that they have better seats, needle-sweep, quattro and lots of grunt? Will he feel smug and superior when he sees me in my piece of crap?

Marque-chasing!!!

Well, I wasn't intending to, but if you insist..........

I am already jealous of your high beam assist.

You've got a wife who keeps forgetting to turn main beam off when there's oncoming traffic too?



It wouldn't be so bad but the Mini has those extra driving lights so our main beam is insanely bright. Roadkill-coookingly so. I feel very sorry for other road-users when she drives at night.......

Do you think that S4 driver would even notice that ordinary A4 they just shot past

Me. Sline owner. I know I have the best I could afford, and it's exactly what I wanted.

All I know is, when I see an SE I think.. Its nice, but not what i would order. and to be honest, if i couldn't of afforded my car (sline +spec) I i wouldnt of comprimised with an SE, but rather waited until i was in a position to get the car I wanted.
When I see an S4... I think "maybe next time"

I don't care what people think of my car nor do I tend to make judgements on them. I'm of course very happy and feel grateful to be able to have my car but that's about as far as it goes.

Do I look at an S4 and think "if only"? Nope. I took the decision to spend more than a stock S4 on a 2.0T with lots of toys. Could I have spec'ed an S4 the same? Yep but since I wasn't going to use the performance I chose not to.

Others thoughts are there issue and not mine.

[Hippogriff]

The answer to my question, in starting this thread, is obviously "yes", then.

So I must refrain.

[ScottyUK]

No no no!

The answer is "carry on but don't be so honest on the internet"
