Yellow Hid's. Lol. Can even use full beam in heavy fog to spot the nice people in silver cars with no lights.

My hid fog lights are out of use as the relay packed in. :lol: once I get my grill lamps working again as well I'm sorted. Lol

I've had a cpuple. on on my bike going around a roundabout on my moped next thing i know I'm in hospital, turned out some drunk driver clipped the back off me while just speeding accros the roundabout, police till haven't found him, second one was when i was younger going down a steep hill with my dad next thing i know all brakes fail and we are travelling 60 going staight towards a river/pond , luckily quick thinking from my dad he put the handbrake on and literly just stopped before, both not that near deaf but pretty scary!!

NIGHTBREAKERS FTMFW! don't worry about 100w jobbies 55w are good enough.

Had too many brown trouser moments to list although my driving styles calmed down alot in the 14years I've been driving.

Good job i wasnt at work today. shit road with big puddles and lots of power isnt a good mix!

Never really had any near death experiences, but my MK3 does get a little twitchy in the wet, aquaplaning really isnt fun. But i can say Nightbreakers are awesome. I find they dont make that much difference on dipped, but on main beam they shine so much further. I'm going to install a relayed loom, which will make them even brighter. Hopefully i will get my hands on a Votex or Hella Grille so i have even more light :-D .

My first in a car was penduluming a Fiat Panda in the rain. Frrrrrrrrrt.

Aquaplaning's all in the tyres, tracking and a slightly forgiving suspension. Get that right and it doesn't happen.

Must admit my breadvan is alarming to drive in the wet since I put the original zolder alloys on as they are running the period Michelin radial X 145's on the front , in my quest for OEM spec I've discovered it drives like shit , massive understeer and minimal grip at the moment :thumbsdown:

How did you find them? I contacted Michelin and they said they were no longer available. Also, damn you for using those wheels! :lol:

Just sitting around since the 80's? :lol: Damn you, damn you so, so much.

my spare from the ranger had a barely used radial x on it.......... I scrapped it.

Philips Powervision/Bluevision are also very good!

I did some awesome 50mph streeto dorifto action over a crest and round a corner between traffic islands the night before last. Controlled it like a boss. Shit was so cash. 8-)

I actually meant to do it though. Well... Sort of; I forgot I wasn't playing Forza and gave it a good old flick into the corner, then further down the road realised what I had just done. This isn't the first time I've done this either... I need to play less Forza. Or maybe it's a good thing I play so much Forza; I've managed to control every slide I've so far gotten into, intended or unintended. :lol:

These Nightbreakers being discussed, would they be alright to use with Fly-eye/Lamin-x/etc. headlight film, or would they get too hot and end up melting the film?

Was doing around 100 on the m1 with the cruise control on in my Astra and hit standing water, made a little bit of poo come out

Clonking noise in my 6n2 today wasn't sure what I was though it might be the driveshaft 30mph for 8 miles 2 miles from home I see wheel bolts going past my window stopped straight away and there was one left in the wheel (got to buy new locking nuts now :( )

The bore on my ats cups are 70mm and I had no spiggots in - buy spiggot rings kids!

Luckily my wheel didn't fall off!
