Default HID lights

Was out cruising through the streets of London on Friday, yes the car was out and about before you guys go beating me up! when I noticed the amount of people who stare at the head lights.

When sat at traffic light, people would double take, and even start walking backwards to stare at the lights. What the hell?

At one point, there were two guys and a girl staring at the headlights whilst I was stuck in traffic - so I switched them off! They looked at me and I just started laughing and switched them back on - they started laughing too!

What is it that attracts them to the lights? Even my mate in his M3 commented "why the hell do people stare at your lights?" I replied rather smuggly "cos they're better than German crap"

Anyone else noticed this?

Sure they aren't just checking their hair in the reflection on your paintwork?

I knew it. I just knew it. Damn cultures you!

The salt only stick to the car when it's wet - got home and checked the paint work - a little dusty but still looking gooooood.

Did I mention, I removed the wheels to clean the wheel liners, the alloys and teh suspension? I kid you not.

Mine must have got a little wet at some point then

Can you let me know if you have any spare time over the weekend. I reckon I could reimburse you for materials and the like. I'll pop down and leave it on your drive and collect a couple of hours later.. that ok with you ?
