Why wouldnt it be? Lots of them on YouTube. Thankfully Ive never seen anyone driving like that in reality, but in fairness they would be dead in seconds on a real (ie, crap ;) ) road with idiot drivers like here.

M5 sounds a bit slugish and shifting at 3k rpms :? RS4 pulls like a mother though :thumbs:, i smiled at the RS4 indicating near the end to show he is a sensible driver ;)

Imagine that driving on the M25, I reckon you'd last one junction max!

Looks like perfectly normal German driving to me.

The thing that bothers me about the authenticity of this vid is that none of the other motorists react in any way.

If you did this on the M25 / M62 / M whatever - you'd have horns blaring, brakelights going bonkers, lane hogs etc etc etc etc....

Yet in this video nothing?

I can't quite decide what's going on here, I thought it was two video's overlaid - one in light traffic and one in heavy traffic, but then the angles match up really well.

If this is real - then the sensible money is on these two <beep> for brains being a greasy spot on the road by now ;-)

When I lived in Germany for three years, the only berk's driving anything like that were Brit Squaddies - ahem, cough, not me :-P

Must admit though - it's a weird feeling getting overtaken when you are doing 130, surprising just how many cars over there do 140+ at every opportunity.

Posted the same video in off-topic chat the other day! The RS4 is MTM tuned but don't know to what stage.

Yes I can vouch for that having driven in India. The horn is by far the most important piece of equipment and if there's a gap you put a car/bike/bus/lorry/camel or elephant in it :<beep>_you: Its mad!
