Got a new one - people who bought a "german whip" to impress their neighbours but neglected to spec decent looking lights. They could have got this



But instead they ended up with this



Why? The halogens look absolute garbage by comparison. It might as well have a massive sticker down the side saying "Bottom of the range. Desperate for the badge"

<nice quality looking led halos>

But instead they ended up with this

<awful side lights that have come loose and are stuck>

The 10 or so cars I passed in the inside lane this morning on my way to the airport at 65mph in a 70 zone.

fking lazy bds.
Were you doing 65, or were they? If it was them, 65 in a 70 is not slow. If it was you FLB.
Surely it's the lane choice he is complaining about, not the speed?
He was, and has confirmed this fact.

I'm sure that the headlight cluster is way down the list when buying a BMW, or any other car. Does it have headlights?, might be a question though. Both photos look like satisfactory illuminating sections of both automobiles.

Also all the tts who think they are the stuff of legend just because their 320d has xenon/LED lights. Ahem.

A single entity, but not one single thing biggrin

The grey haired mid 40s fool in the boy-ed up Focus St in Wimbledon tonight.

Paul Walker "Dude I almost.." sticker quote on back - CHECK
Big lairy red stripes - CHECK
Huge name of tuning "Engineering" firm on doors, that no ones ever heard of - CHECK
Windows down radio up loud to impress the girls - CHECK
Front Fog Lights on - CHECK
Driving at 15-20mph getting flumoxed by a guy on a bicycle so wont overtake - CHECK


When I did finally get past him and boot it (meh, sue me laugh ) he caught me up in traffic (I admit it was rather pointless laugh ) and gave it the old sarcastic clap. I resisted the temptation to get out and point out my indiscretion was nothing compared to the state of his life and that he probably pays for sex and still lives with his Mum biggrin

Those adaptive LEDs are horribly expensive and an option on just about all of the range.

I went for a walk today as it was a pleasant, sunny Autumn day. During said walk, I spotted nine people on their fking phones while driving. Several of these people had young kids with them as well. The amount that weren't restrained and were crawling all over the back seats was frankly astonishing!

Followed a Transit van doing 15-25mph last night, wondering why his speed was so erratic and why he was drifting in lane. Answer: because he was on the f'king phone and steering/changing gear one-handed.

See this a lot here.

I often walk from 1 of our offices to another in about 20 minutes,faster than driving sometimes!

Without fail I will see either rather orange women, or Powerfully built types in Range Rover's, X1/3/5's or other premium marques holding their phone's

As you say, fking why?

All these cars have 'Bluetooth' so why not fking use it?

Driving this morning to take my dog for a walk, one of my boys says he can smell weed. Thought that's odd, so can I.

It was only 9am, and thought it was quite early for someone to be on the green. But thought maybe we'd driven past somebody having a cheeky smoke at a bus stop.

1/2 mile later, we're behind a shed of a Corsa at the traffic lights in the middle of town. Corsa has windows down, Dre blaring out at full distorted volume.
Can still smell weed.

Turns out that the two young girls in the Corsa are not only completely baked, but also still puffing away. Followed them (only as I was going that way) for another 1/2 mile. They were all over the place, and nearly hit some oldies in a C1 before overtaking it.

fking morons.

I don't have any problem with anyone else smoking weed. But for fks sake, can you manage not to do it while driving?

It never fails to amaze me how blaze (pun intended) kids are these days about smoking weed in public. I appreciate the Police are stretched and cant deal with everything, but surely if you were partial to it you'd also realise that you should be a bit more secretive about that!

Did you call 999 or 101 btw?

I was blasé about it too when younger, but never on a car or even a bicycle biggrin

I thought about calling it in, but just couldn't be bothered. Had things to do. I suppose I probably should have.

The knobber in the grey Audi RS3 heading into Bexleyheath in heavy, crawling traffic on Friday afternoon, who decided it was completely necessary to sit and blip the throttle constantly, then attemp a full bore standing start every time a gap of 50ft or more appeared. For around a mile.

The fking tool.

I suspect I know who this guy is. (Personalised plates? Or a nickname under the letters where the postcode should be?) I saw him at another place and he literally sat outside it revving the engine for a good 10-15 mins! It was the most bizarre thing I've seen for ages.

Van this morning who pulled out in front of me on a 60 road and then proceeded 20-25 MPH.

Why didn't you just wait until I'd gone? You proceeded to CRAWL along a 60 road at a pitiful speed. After about 1 mile there was a HUGE line of cars behind you - people being inconvenienced by YOUR driving and YOUR DAWDLING on a road that is perfectly safe for 60+.

I'm really considering writing down the number plates of these serious dawdlers and starting to post them on here.

The great lumbering throbber driving a silver Peugeot 206 (RJ55 RWX).

Tailgating me into an estate of fking cul-de-sacs whilst busy using his fking phone. Seriously? You ignorant, stupid fat bd. I don't think an indicated 34mph in a 30mph limit, in the dark, on residential streets, with an upcoming L-R-L-L sequence of turns in less than 300 yards is fking dawdling. Top that off with the fact that you're less than thirty seconds from home and I've got to ask why. Why the juddering fk do you feel it's necessary to create a safety issue when no matter what speed I travel at you are not in a bajillion years going to trim any meaningful measure of time off your journey?

And what, exactly, was the important phone call you were making, Gollum? Telling the wife you were nearly home? There isn't a phonecall in the world that's important enough that you need to take it while driving. If you are THAT important that you NEED to make/take calls on the move, you'll have a fking driver. Otherwise, ignore the damned phone, or pull over somewhere safe AND legal to use it.

PS - you need to lose weight, or get a better tailor. That shirt just made you look like a failed darts player. loser

Guy in a Smart stops short of a junction and just sits there, so I pull out although he had right of way. Stop at the next set of lights and look in the mirror. He is furiously crossing himself, and I mean furiously as fast as his hand can move, again and again. At the next junction he flies past me and onto the A1. Religious knobber or a case of OCD?
