Very strage. Probably "urban surfing" - kids used to use Beetles for it years ago.

I heard this mentioned on the radio but thought I had misheard, so I dismissed it.
Some people get up to some strange things.

They are not number plate lights.

They are bumper over riders fitted on American market cars.

I guess it might have been a ccatalogue photo rather than the actual one of the car.

I reckon the guy was probably standing up or something to see of the spoiler had come up! Must have been doing 75 mph or so I guess! Durrrrrrr!!!
