Sad?

Whilst driving home the other day, saw another FL2 in Silver on the opposite side of the road and got excited and decided to "flash" him, who in turn flashed me back. Told the wife who told me I was sad!

She currently in the bad-books for driving the fl2 into a wheelie bin and putting a nasty dent in the wing (still not over this...). In addition, some complete and utter bar-steward scrapes the drivers side rear wheel-arch, and drove off without saying anything, grrrrrrrrrrr.

So, if you're driving a silver FL2 somewhere in Leeds and was recently flashed on the Scott Hall Road (a61) near Potternewton Lane, it was me and it made my day!

Glad to get that off my chest!

I had a dent by a wheelie bin in my front wing, on my old vectra

Got a company out called dentmasters and they poked and pressed, hammered and the dent vanished, would really recommend this company. Cost about £80

For the scrape try chipsaway, depending on the depth of the scrape they may be able to sort them out.

If i see a silver FL2 flashing at me i'll avert my eyes and look the otherway, its rude to flash Embarassed Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

speaking to my brother today and i was talking about the forum etc

We got on to the Flashing light at each other subject

Which he then warned me about a new gang initiation test that has come up a week or two ago on a Private Detective Network his a member of.

" If you see a car driving without their headlamp on and flash them to give them the hint, they have been cases were the have turned round and fired gun shots into the car that flashed them" he said it was start down south but reported cases in the north too

I might wave and smile instead of flashing from now on Shocked Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
