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.

Do CC owners nod to each other then?  ???   

Is this a glimpse into a secret world that Tunnie is now part of?  :-\  ;D
I think the nod means "lets meet up in one of those designated laybys" ::)

Sounds like you are speaking from experience here?  :D

I go M3/M25 every day, there are little tricks like always leave and re-join straight away. This can save some time on M25  :y

Yes I did not like Insignia seats, I tried quite a few spec types, found them all rock hard and not very supportive.  :(

How does that work? is that like jumping the queue on the motorway ? Bit like the blighters that zoom up the outside of a queue at a roundabout going straight on , then round the roundabout and rejoin 50 places up.

Eg on M25, Jc14 is for Heathrow T5. Often bulk of M25 is backed up heading to M4, take the Jc14 slip which is a long filter off. Head up to the round-about, then head straight down again re-joining the M25. Re-joining it's a long slip as well and you can skip a load of traffic. Sometimes it fails due to traffic flowing again and you hit lights on round-about, but you win more times than you loose. Do this for multiple junctions and it's a winner  :y

Don't make me hunt you down  :P I'm sure half the reason it backs up so badly is people trying to join the M25

You know those who barge in at the last moment, skipping long queues......  ::)  ::)  :-X

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  :D
 

He's become a cock, who drives a vw/audi product,  they go from slip road to outside lane, up one junction,across again up the slip down the other side, go from lane to lane, giving it the two sugars sign or bean shaker, and the get three cars further up wooo betide anybody who gives him a blast on the horns, the response is comical.... while I just sit there drinking my tea, and getting paid, thinking What a complete KNOB

Hang on.. I drive a VAG product too ;D but don't sneak up junctions (because I CBA trying to fight across three+ lanes only to fight back across three+ lanes 2000yds further along).

I haven't noticed any smoke, either  :P Bloody pongs when it's doing a regen, though!

Only noticed slight smell getting out of the car if it's just done a re-gen, normally don't notice them. Likewise never seen any smoke either, but then again I'm not behind it. But the tail pipe has no trace of soot on it, so all working as it should.
