how about the tax disc with a ring of led lights that flash in sequence. even better, once the battery's in you can't switch it off and the lights flash all the time. They flash blue as well, my neighbour (a middle-aged bloke with a people carrier!) had that little gem fitted, then wondered why the police took offence at being able to see blue flashing lights when he was following them!

I quite like that thing. Bloody silly price though! Other pointless crap.... Chavmobiles with 'Motorsport' visor stickers on the windscreen. Why? Just 'cos they look like the stupid BTCC cars of late doesn't mean that they are...! |

Painted brake drums... it only highlights how bad the car actually is... case in point: http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=21233 (the second one, obviously) |

Having travelled behind numerous cars with exhausts that would give a battleship armoury and inferiority complex. Can anyone explain why? |

Fitted with the misguided belif that they will make the car is running a big throaty V8 - infact they just amplyfy the strange farting noises it actually makes. oh and it lowers the restriction of the exhaust thus improving performance. |

Not round here they don't. They very rarely get up to 40. I get all sorts of hand signals, that aren't in the highway code as I cruise past them |

Yeah - I've got a stainless cat-back exhaust on my car (but without the chrome tip, it looks pretty normal) because the only people who had a pipe in stock when mine fell off were Renwicks Peugeot in Plymouth (You know who you are you pikey shits in the service dept who don't know one end of a car from the other) and they were quoting £400 quid for the pipe!! (needed both the mid and rear sections done) So I phoned around all the usual quick fit places, and none of the stock 406 exhausts fitted, mine's a bit unusual it seems, so I went to a boy-racer place and had one made to fit. It was £235 and they whack a lifetime guarantee on it as well! So my car now sounds like a V6 should, the exhaust has one less silencer, and so the car has more power, and also the pipe won't go rusty and fall off....result.

good for traffic jams though. although the whole assembly has to be moving at around 80mph for the aircraft to take off. |

are you sure the sewing machine engines on that plane could maintain 80mph with that tank slung underneath....or is Red-Bull actually Janx, and gives much better performance then you would expect? Just ask the residents Hemel Hempstead!
