What are the odds of that!

Just parked up, gone round to the boot to grab my bag and realised I had parked in front of another RS3!

Mine's the dirty one :)

In 2012 there were 588 rs3 in the UK. In 2011 there were 28.5 million cars in the UK (couldn't find any more recent figures)

Chance of 1 RS3 = 0.002%
Chance of 2 RS3 parking next to each other = 0.0004%

RS3's appear to gravitate to each other. Someone a few streets away has one, I see a Daytona one around Newcastle and have seen a sprint blue one on the Quayside at one point visiting the Copthorne Hotel

A5 by the look of it. It didn't grab my attention like the other RS3 did.
