Puggy would have you disemboweled. You should have flashed him back.

My car turns the fogs off on it's own after a preset time, accompanied by a audible chime. If you really need them you can turn them back on again. Good thinking I reckon! Only allows you to be a knob in half-hour stints :lol: :lol: :P


Does yours do that Puggy? :twisted:

Oooh, so cruel yet so :lol:

Good idea though, save people wondering what the orange light on their dash means. Sadly for many peple it's just their brains that stop working automatically.

Here's one for you - does the 406 turn off the heated rear screen by itself like Ford's do after 7 minutes?

I've never left it on like this as I like to turn it off myself thank you very much.

Do UK 406's come with foggies as standard? I know they didn't here - mine has them though! :D

Tonight it's pissing down with rain here in Sydney - Driving home along the Harbour Bridge there were so many w*nkers with their foggies on. There was no fog and the amount of dazzle was insane!

Tailgaiters may get a dose of the rear foglight.... :P

Damn you Rees! now I've got a dilema :evil:

Do I need to know if mine does it too :?:
If so, how do I reconcile that with being the world No.1 fog light opponent :!: :x
Imagine if someone saw mine lit :oops:

Still, there is Puggy to think about.....

2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)

2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)

Why not try it, for the club, and let us know how many times you get flashed? :P

I did a "who can get the lowest mpg" thread once so don't worry too much :lol:
