On the M60 today, near the M56 turning to Manchester Airport. Magnesium GTR on a '10 plate without panniers. I think the reg starts with MK10. I was the Audi driver that courteously gave more filtering apace

[ChrisB]

That's it. The world's gone mad, a courteous Audi driver, whatever next, BMWs moving over no doubt.

It'll be the end of the world when BMW and Mercedes drivers start to use their indicators.

Having never driven one of those cars, I can only surmise that the indicators are over on the passenger side and thus can't be used by the driver

 ..... you know, since this was put up I've not seen a GTR....... they've come over all shy

Alas, down here the missing indicators goes far beyond the "prestige " models, in fact it is quite classless, as are the  driving them.

Also widespread is the missing hand brake.  Here class, for the moment at least, plays a part; The newer U/M vehicles have brake lights that can be seen from space     Their drivers    sit for three minutes or more at the traffic lights thereby blinding the poor bugger behind them.  USE YOUR  HANDBRAKE 

Nothing like starting the day with a rant    Ready for coffee now

Be Safe All

In my defence (and others) I drive a CLK Merc and a Lexus RX300 both have stoopid Parking brakes NOT handbrakes so I have no choice but to blind followers. Sorry!!!!!

Now!!!!! Foglights in the rain thats a different rant which I will fully support.

If only i could get heat seeking mini missiles fitted to the front and wipe out every innappropiately used fog light,

what you didn't think I'd join in  ....... stupid bloody cars with the bright brake lights that surround the indicator.. you cant see the yellow flashing bit... how the fook that got through approval damned if i know....

Hi Coman37

Thank you for explaining the parking/handbrake problem, I had no idea that it was not possible to apply a hand brake whilst at the lights.

Kind of steals my thunder;  I was also planning on one of those missiles to which you refer

However, I am not sure that your explanantion applies to every make of car so perhaps the missle is still an option

Delighted to see that you are on form Mr Mogster. How was the 25 this morn'?

anyone who commutes down the M25 in the morning needs a medal ....or locking up in a loony bin... HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!  thas scary.....

[Nok12rs]

Yes! that ol' 25 is never ending....you could almost be in orbit.........

[ChrisB]

Well I saw 3 GTRs at RAF run on Sunday in the Shrewsbury park and ride car park. There was Trotter's and 2 others,
a couple on one from Cradley Kawasaki I think, and a couple on a grey one with home made hand wind deflectors. Didn't get their names sorry. The people not the deflectors, before you say owt!

[viper]

oops, wife has an SLR and ive got an M5, so thats us I guess, both automatics so when at the lights we have to keep the brake pedal down., thus keeping our brake lights on.

Stick it in park if your handbrake does not function 

There ought to be a law...............(now where is that  "miserable old git" emoticom?)
