I agree LEDs are much better but my Chrysler Grand Voyager 2 seater(!), is now 18 years old and has never needed a replacement bulb. I did change the fog lamps to LEDs, to use as daytime running lamps, which I think are essential these days.
Did the same with the Jag XJ as well.

The problem with American cars in the UK - I've had a few, is they just flash the brake lights for indicators. I used to put yellow bulbs in the reversing lights and rewire for our MOT.

Worse than the Audi and BMW drivers are the Seat - they think they've got an Audi!

My Satnav has a Dalek inside it. "At the next roundabout take the third exit ... OR YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED."

Careful what you post…..

Good one Mal, go to the top of the class.

Her is a good tip for saving fuel on a long journey on the Motorway, in these times of extortion err high energy prices.

1) Potter along at around 50mph in the inside lane.
2) When a National Express Coach thunders past at 70mph, increase speed and pull out behind it.
3) Once you are about 2 feet off its backdoor slow down and keep pace.

Now, not only will you be doing over a hundred miles to the gallon, you will also be able to use their free WiFi

Choose your own flow chart…

Some people are just born p1ss takers ...

[Dartskipper]

Following Bob's remark, this is further evidence.

[BobClay]

I'm definitely with Morgan on this one .....

[Varley]

I don't know. I am more unimpressed when the morning ablutions elicit too little.

And of course, the closed to the coach you are, the lower will be the differential speed when when he crashes so much safer

[Varley]

That may be rather like Einstein's thought experiment when considered only from the confines of the railway carriage. The differential as regards the stationary geography (relatively speaking, of course) will be all the greater. Be careful only to meld accidentally with the coach. The subsequent exchanges in energy (one assumes the accidentees will eventually reach geographical speed parity) would be complex but only the optimistic would forecast them as lower risk.

[Makko]

I prove the theory of relativity every day!

There is a traffic light that I have to go through to turn onto my road. If it is red, I roll up and it soon turns green. If it is green, I roll up even slower and it doesn't change - If I speed up to pass when it is green, it immediately turns red! I suppose it is something to do with the time/space fabric warping.

When I was over for a visit of a few years ago I rented a car and it had a satnav installed on it. Although I have one on my car (Garmin) it was a nightmare when approaching those dreaded roundabouts. What the hell was the third exit and how do I get there as nobody would let you in and round we went several times before escaping.
Driving on the opposite side was bad enough but those roundabouts just about defeated me. My visit my son drove and I sat and watched !!!!

[Malcolm G]

And this is without satnav....

"Police officer reprimanded for misuse of bread trays from nearby store," says city hygiene inspector. Meanwhile, the bakery delivery man accuses store owner of stealing them. Store owner claims defamation of character, phones his attorney. Cops arrive on the siren and lights in response to a bystander alerting them of the altercation. Chess- playing cop calls "Checkmate." Black man says he isn't Czech, and he isn't his mate either.

Only in New York!!

Perhaps Mr Varley knows the answer….

[Engine Serang]

I think the cats are just sitting on damage already made by Mr(*?) Varley.

I hazard that dip offers windbreak therefore warmest spot. If you can prove that E-S send the bill (and I will have my people look at it).
