    S3 Drivers in Scotland

    Would it be bad form for an A3 driver to wave? I used to have a Range Rover and waved at almost all other Land Rovers, most waved back. I've only waved once in the Audi and got a dirty look from the other driver.

    Update: Got the call today, a goodwill gesture of a 70% contribution to a new door and roof & quarter panel de-rusting and painting. My 30% was around £450(exact figures are at work)! Have we had any more word from Mr Starkey or will I be chasing Audi UK on monday?
