Just driving home now I caught up with an old A6 (C5) with a pair of dirty large-bore tailpipes.
Came up behind it quickly coming up to a roundabout and saw it was a 2.7T, not something I'd really been conscious of as even existing.
Anyway, I guess the driver clocked me in his mirror because he shot off rather smartly with a satisfying rumble in my direction, so I guess it was running non-standard power levels.
I proceeded, as one does, with the stately grace befitting a D2. Caught him up by the next roundabout.
