Latest "Look I'm a bellend" fad?

From what I see with my eyes while driving, bell ends drive all different makes of cars. However, a disproportionate amount cars doing something deliberately stupid or aggressive are BMW’s. i.e. 1 in 3 cars you might witness doing something deliberately stupid or aggressive are BMW’s but not 1 in 3 cars on the road are BMW’s.

Feel free to search YouTube for “bad driving uk compilation” or similar... you’ll be shocked to see just how equal it is.

When I change my Audi in the next few years and buy a family car I’ll be sure to bump this thread and tell everyone of how much a better driver I am.

Ludicrous.

Uh-huh . Yeah, nearly an hour later and no stereotypes have arrived, oh noes! Could it be because Focus drivers aren't known for driving like bell-ends so go by unnoticed, unlike a sizeable number of BMW and Audi drivers...

I don't know about that. The ST drivers seem to have a chip on their shoulder the size of house.

I appreciate bad drivers drive all makes of cars, like in the compilation videos you talk of. I am talking about the tts who deliberately drive aggressively or pull off deliberate stupid manoeuvres. A disproportionate amount drive BMW’s. This also means not everyone who drives a BMW drives like a tt. Include Audi in that if you want to, but I hadn’t even mentioned Audi.

Don't bother swapping to an Audi.
I've got one and I still drive like a tt.

Very recently a friend and I modified my indicators back to standard, the car is a 20 year old 535i. Previous owner had cut the indicator wiring loom out and soldered in new wiring and an aftermarket plug and bulb holder. This is apparently known as the US mod!

New BMW looms and headlights fixed the issue and it looks a thousand times better.

Cars with excessive chrome...

Going to ignore this topic from now on. Much too subjective. The conclusion so far, and thus ad infinitum must be that the driver and not the car is the plonker,

I know this car. Bloke in the local sainsburys security drives it in Bristol and often parks across 4 places in the car park. A quarter of the thing in each space. If you look closely at the back you’ll see chrome v8 stickers above the 3.0 sticker. I might be wrong but I think the v8 was a 4.2 ? He’s also got multiple s line stickers in the steering wheel. A right mess.

However you can tell something about the driver by seeing what they’ve done to customise their car... hmmm

Can’t help feeling that yellow coloured brake callipers are ultra bellendy. Obviously only if you are the one who specified them that way or got them done that way.

Sorry had to come back and respond to this, it’s an hour later because it’s Friday night.

Here are some videos of people driving Focus’s unnoticed:

https://youtu.be/eJy3svQ07Nk
https://youtu.be/CKNQG6pSYig
https://youtu.be/KhF2zYd7ca4

And yes there are videos of the same nature involving Audis and VW’s, just for you and your precious little head to enjoy.

I love that you wasted 15 mins of your Friday night specifically looking for some poorly driven Focus videos in a futile attempt to prove some irrelevant point to a random guy on the internet .

One of the most common cars on the roads get involved in some incidents. WOW

On Porsches, factory yellow calipers mean it is equipped with carbon ceramic brakes (PCCB).

Ha, mine too, was the closest I could find though.

Having read this thread it seems I'm a knob good and proper. I don't actually believe that people tint number plates and refuse to look it up because I think it'll be code for some kind of horrific pornography.

I bought a kit from a company called bespoked with Ferrari font to USDM my Skoda. The kit had the feature that it ran the indicators as sidelights on reduced power with dual core bulbs, then the running light went out when the indicator was used so indicated as normal. LED number plate lights are just a modernisation effort rather than modification theory being less strain on old batteries by using led for 5w circuit.
I liked the look but won't go to the trouble again. I added spotlights to my prelude for old school knob points, and a big 'Honda' sunstrip, I think I'm being ironic.

Id have fitted a train horn to one of my cars if I wasn't so lazy.
