Driving home from Milton Keynes early on Monday morning, had the fortune to get stuck behind a square 80's Datsun of some description, and nearly peed myself (it really was early) when I saw that the wheels were flashing, Back To The Future style!

After the initial shock, and the realisation dawned that it wasn't an alien invasion, I found it quite amusing - for about a minute.

Anyone else heard of this? If so, I think you'd be duty-bound to tell us who's responsible so we can hunt him/her down...

It is a flashing led in the valve cap which when moving creates the effect that the wheel is flashing!!!, Idiots round here have got them!!!!
