I really can't get my head around why the people out there who buy german cars bother. I mean, how much must it cost to have indicator bulbs fitted when you buy these cars? They quite obviously are a very expensive optional extra, as every time one makes a manoeuvre near me they never use indicators. Or maybe it is that the bulbs as soooo expensive that they can only afford to use them when absolutely necessary to save on using them up!

Halfords fit car bulbs for free as long as you buy the new bulb from them.

Let's not exaggerate here.......

I wouldn't trust halfords to fit an air freshener......

And they won't fit a bulb in many Bimmers either. Some are a right git to get to.

What halfrauds you going to? last time i got bulbs from them i asked them if they'd fit them, said £4.95 or something like that to fit them, nearly as much as the bulbs, i just thought, why dont i do it myself instead of paying someone do something which takes me 5 mins...

Maybe it's because we're going so quickly we know the manoeuvre isn't going to affect you! either that or we don't want to rub it in your face that our German indicators are better than yours!

Keep on trollin'

Neil, how lovely to see a ohoto of you! Obviously I have touched a nerve here ehh boys? I thought this was a 'discussion' forum, not a bh fest, I left that alone when I left the playground, and can now discuss things like a grown up.

I entirely agree with the OP.

This is why I only drive in daylight and use hand signals.

Those puppies can be up to £4 each to replace. I'm no fool.

Quite an irony that you are sreaming "childish" at people whilst simultaneously using the old favourite of "I know you are, you said you are but what am I" in response to Neil Boltons post.

I don't even know what that unit of currency is but it looks frightening.
I dont blame you.
If I had a German car I would probably replac e all the indicators on it with a the rear light cluster from a Fiesta or something. Look aren't everything and it would be far more practical to pay £2 instead of £2.50 for my bulbs.

Once again I will point out that I thought this was a discussion, How do you make it childish that I have pointed out what a lot of people think, but don't have the opportunity to say?

Superb. A "my car is faster than yours" post on PistonHeads. You do realise this is a game you'll never win? For every 10 people you can give a childish comment like that to, there are a further 100 that could reply in kind.

Interesting that she said in another thread that she had an S-Max.

No-your comeback to Neil Bolton was the childish thing.
He said "THis is a picture of what you probably look like" and posted that fat naked man.
You replied "No, thats you that is" as you might in the playground in response to being insulted.


ANyway- I don't believe you are serious for a moment about this thread, but if you are you are clearly stupid.
