Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    If he was flashing constantly, he probably had headlight modulators fitted. They are a big safety item used by U.S. motorcyclists.
    Never heard of them being fitted to a car though...:confused:

    was kind of the way garda cars lights would flash i actually thought it was an unmarked car when i 1st saw them flashing ,but then when he went passed it was just a bmw

    maybe hes had those installed to give that effect so he can breeze through traffic .hmmmmm

    Are you sure it was a BMW and not a Merc?

    I had a Merc behind me a few weeks back that was flashing, but I think it was just a p1ss poor, self fit Xenon conversion. He was behing me in stopped traffic, Northbound at Blanch around 18.00 - any relation to your time?

    I was thinking WTF??!! when he flashed me, but eventually when traffic cleared and I was carried on along the outside lane, they were still randomley flashing with no one in front of him. Sometimes both headlights, sometimes one.

    It was either a dark blue or black C-Class from around 2000 - 2002.
