1999 Audi A4 rear windows corrosion

Christ, I thought I was fussy

Sorry. Just lost a good mate in an RTA. A prick in a fiesta pulled out without looking. The poor guy (on his Kawasaki 1000) didn't stand a chance. just makes you want to shout!

Sorry guys

I'm sorry to hear that. :-( If only all drivers were sensible and careful, and male (!!!).

The corrosion should have been covered by Audi's comprehensive 12 year anti perforation warranty, make sure its not been broken into, hence the marks, talking of women drivers, last night some women hit my car and run :( but some people got her reg :)

Hopefully a new bumper will be needed

Not in Chester?

Less than a mile from my house, Tuesday IIRC. Red fiesta, driven by 20 year old, pulled out of Pearl lane onto the dual carriageway A41 (northbound), and killed a motorcyclist.

Same one?

Pete.

I think women should be banned from driving altogether, if that's not possible, at least ban them 10 days each month during "that" time. They go mental in daily life at that time, and put them in a car you get murder and road rage.

You made a typo there, you spelt "bikers" wrong.

Your ignorance and bigotry are breathtakingly offensive and reflect the fact that you have absolutely no social intelligence or any clue whatsoever. Since you seem to be in the UK, try reading this:

Thank you Ron! You missed 1 point, women have to get out of their cars to insert the ticket at a car park exit, but before they do so they forget where they put it, turn the purse upside down while checking if the lipstick matches the shoes and then realising the ticket is in the H&M shopping bag in the boot. :-)

And I wouldn't say they're better drivers, they're just slower. At certain times of a month, they go mental and zoom past traffic to cause accidents or do an emergency stop thinking she had forgot to set the video to tape Jamie Oliver, causing the guy behind her to hit the brakes and the woman behind him would crash into him because of slow reactions. But because the woman who crashed into him drives a Merc her man bought her and put under his insurance policy as a named driver, the stats for men goes up 1 yet again. The Merc probably isn't even scratched in the first place but the Accord the unlucky guy was in was smashed into pieces, all because he had to fund his family, his wife's shopping, his kids' school fees, his house and could only afford an Accord.

I'm not the Accord man fortunately. But there were a few times I had to horn or zoom out of the way with women drivers failing to stop in time to avoid getting a dent in my car's arse.

And read this from the news article you sent us:

"women drivers were twice as likely to have accidents at junctions than men"

Thank you BBC.

Thank you, sadly it's just observational humour, even more sadly observed from the car just behind the one driven by the woman behaving as described.

The local shopping centre car park is subterranean and the exits are narrow and tight. The biggest vehicle I have taken down there is a SIII LWB Landrover. Even in that with its amusing bad turning circle it would take some work to scrape the walls, but the walls are covered in paint streaks of different colours. When I see a car leaving a mark it's inevitably a Polo/Fabia/Mini/Seicento driven by the female of the species. What is it that they can't drive a vehicle in a lane about 6ft wider than their car without whacking into the wall?

Their brains are only designed for talking (a lot).

Misogyny such as yours doesn't bode well for the perpetuation of the human race.

That's okay, I don't intend to breed.

Excellent, a good way of eliminating that particular trait. Thanks!

Out of interest - how much did you pay for your Audi? Was it new, secondhand? Mileage? Looking at some A4s secondhand in my dealership and they seem to be about 15K for 3 years old and the lowest milegage one is

John.

I bought a 3 year old A4 1.8T Sport from an Independent with 26K miles, full Audi history and a fresh Audi Service. I paid 12K (GBP) which included a 12 month warranty. I also got £500 back for my trade-in which I would have has to pay £50 to someone to take away otherwise!!

Immediately after I bought it I claimed for 2 new front bearings and the warranty paid for this to be done at a Audi Dealership. I also changed the front disks & pads at that time which cost me £170. That was all 13 months ago. Since then it passed it's MOT no bother and has needed nothing else (other than a 40K service & brake-fluid change, Audi Dealer, £320) doing to it.

Cheers Matt.
