Lol
I don’t know what it is about Audi drivers
majority of them are Numpty’s.
You must have a fleet of audi cars then.
Bit rich coming from one of the islands most notorious predators.
Just imagine if anyone had been where the car had crashed into that wall. Simply jail him and sell or crush the car.
Crush the car and bang the driver up.
Just curious why the Echo has to make at one reference to the nationality of a vehicle in an incident, does it have any bearing on the report or is it to pad out the words?
