SootySport Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 I’m refereeing to the sealant can that inject a sticky glue to seal the hole which new cars come with, not the rubber plug type, which are aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was flat or down to the road I would expect even a BMW to get out lol. Stones still stick to the tyres and are thrown off once the car is on the road.

Emergency braking radar thats triggered by manhole covers Auto wipers that need a monsoon to just adopt intermittent mode but worst, and you see them everywhere, DRLs that make people think they have all their lights on Lol auto main beam dip.. Has yours worked yet? How many radars have you had yet? On 10/02/2020 at 12:26, cast iron said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great (although I did occasionally wonder why the car was stalling only to discover i had my foot on the dip switch rather than the clutch). I loved driving that car, but that was in Guernsey with a 35 mph speed limit. In the UK I prefer having a car with brakes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 I seem to remember some cars had the screen wash operated by a foot pedal, anyone remember them?
