And again the daily mail talking utter shite;
Quote:'Also, new cars have day time headlights that warn pedestrians a car is heading their way. If these are removed, then the pedestrian won't have that extra time to see the car coming towards them.
DRLs were only compulsory from 2012 onwards and only a handful of cars had them from choice before that. Also, if a pedestrian needs DRLs to see a car coming, they deserve to be hit by one!

The Mail talking utter s**te is par for the course isn't it?

Oh yeah definitely! It just pisses me off when i read it. Same with the likes of The Sun.
If you read that article, it could of been cut down to about a third of what it is but instead the writer has padded it out by repeating their self over and over again to make it look like they actually possess some sort of intelligence.

I'm just surprised that they didn't somehow get a link to illegal immigrants, house prices, Diana or cancer into the article somewhere - their standards are clearly slipping...

Well that's your fault for actively reading The Sun.
You could read cave art for news on current affairs to the same effect

If you read it backward, it gives 7 reasons why you should support UKIP.

I don't actively read the sun. I read it when i get links like that to it.
Funny though because there used to be a copy of it every day in your van. But then i suppose a pikey doesn't have the intelligence to read anything else other than the sun or a pizza menu

Boobs mate.

RE: Taking the stripped out 306 thing a bit far... - Toms306 - 03-04-2014
What a dick.... No-one buys doors! Woulda better keeping the engine to sell!
1.8 Meridian ftw though.

Should have chopped the roof off for true al-fresco motoring. Minds me of scrapping the Ronker

Yeh I would have had that engine! The bumpers look mint too! Probably the most valuable bits!
RE: Taking the stripped out 306 thing a bit far... - Slam Wagon - 03-04-2014
Is there actually anything to stop you driving with no doors? Bonnet they will argue it exposed too much incase you hit a pedestrian. And im sure you can drive with no lifhts aslong as its during the day. Correct me if im wrong.
RE: Taking the stripped out 306 thing a bit far... - Toms306 - 03-04-2014
Nope, you must have lights even in daylight (indicators and brakes for a start). Also, interestingly, you can get fined for driving with a blown headlight bulb in broad daylight lol.
Doors are again for safety, if someone T-boned them they wouldn't have a chance.

Oh yeah, thinking like a bmw driver for a moment there.
