I do as well, it often suggests ploughing through Hounslow, which is a sh*t hole. Full of speed bumps and seriously poor roads, pot hole ridden.

I've timed it before, Waze for example says Hounslow route I'll get home at 6:03PM, I ignore it and go up A30 via Hatton Cross to M25, then M3... nearly always home at 6:03 and it's far better route.

Yeah - I'm sure it works well some places, but that doesn't seem to include the UK Friends overseas (esp. in the US or Israel) can't understand how come I can't use it to shave 30-45 minutes off my average commute home (which is ~2-2.5hrs to do a 1.5hr journey); but when that route is Chertsey->Northampton there really isn't much of a viable alternative to just slogging up the motorway as every non-trunk road is just as congested

You know those who barge in at the last moment, skipping long queues......     

Don't like queuing, especially when I'm going to work. Thing is everyone does it, so I'm not just going to sit in queue to feel good. Might as well join them 

*makes mental note never to let any CCs in*  Although I'll never know if it's you or Wojciech who I work with (and lives down the M3).. still.. 

Does he have a white CC? Gave nod to chap near Twickenham M3 who had a lovely R Line spec one, it had the later LED front headlights which I like.

Nope - grey IIRC.. Still a nice looking car, but an older model (08-10) so no LED headlights

Look good but a bit bumpy ride wise over B roads. These CC's aren't part of the BMW empire by any chance? no they have indicators so must be VW's.

According to Mrs TB, VW's are the new beemer/chavalier/repmobile, as she says every single one is driven by an arrogant, self centred, small dicked, lane hogging arseole...

...not sure whats rattled her cage

Do CC owners nod to each other then?     

Is this a glimpse into a secret world that Tunnie is now part of?     

[Varche]

Hey, i am thinking of getting one.....

The real villains are the BMW drivers

This seems a little gay to me!

Yes you should get a BMW Varche.    They're great cars as you don't have to use the indicators! 

[Varche]

Never seen a BMW with indicators. Always thought it was an expensive option.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Never seen a BMW with indicators. Always thought it was an expensive option.

Mine has them as it was a special order.  It also has a red interior.

I think the nod means "lets meet up in one of those designated laybys"

I think you're right TB.    I guess you have to do something to get your kicks when you drive a Volkswagon!   

I wonder if Mrs Tunnie knows?
