French Car Show 2012 [Info in 1st Post]

I hear there are widespread problems with audi bumpers rusting in the newer models. Also I hear that the owners manual comes with a series of diagrams for helping you communicate more effectively with road users. It sounds like he was using the German signing for 'Thank you', but as it's been translated from German I could see why you'd mistake his signage.

I did hear that they had made a mistake that the plastic they used for the bumper actually had a high metal content. Problem is its a new type of metal that has a really strong magnetic field and draws to things especially when moving at speed.

Unfortunately the signage is a direct German translation in the handbook. Seeing as they don't have the technology for orange flashing lights on the sides of the car, they have to use hand signals. Problem is they don't use the same signals as us and have been instructed to use the V sign, wanker sign and in order to keep hands on wheel at high speed driving, they can flash the main beams.
