View Full Version : How to recognise an A2 on the way to social...

Suggestion: I always drive with my headlights on regardless of weather or time of day, but for Sunday may I suggest we ALL drive thus? That way we know that an A2 passed or seen with lights on is one of "us" and can be safely followed! :D Otherwise you may follow someone to the local tip!
(Also for conformity and dare I say, to be legal, normal lights only and NO fog lamps! - this will make all photos look the same and also get guys with fog lampless cars the chance to look the same as the rest...)

Slight alteration in our plans now due to our A2 being very poorly (see thread in General). Don't know what car we'll be in but hopefully still be there.

I thought he'd got a Corsa?
As an aside, I saw another Megane today, it looked like it was an estate or something at a distance, but it just looked ugly. I guess it's one of those cars you either like or dislike, it's the rear that makes it look ugly to me...

Yes, we have a Corsa. I think it's a 1.0L (there are no badges on it at all). Very basic. No CD player so it looks like it'll be Radio 2 on the way up tomorrow. Nice colour though. Light metallic blue - like a clear summers day.
I won't do a comparison with the Audi for fear of getting a reputation like Clarkson & Vectra's.
