Rods should be along in a minute to blame Putin.


who will 'prove' that Putin openly made Trump do it, via Brexit

They have issued a recall for all affected vehicles. Not before time.

A red triangle on the road would probably have prevented this accident. :-\

BMW's always used to come with one (all four of mine have) - unless they've stopped that on new (this decade) models?

You expect the driver of a broken down BMW to get out, open the boot, unfold the triangle and place it a sensible distance behind the car? For their own and eveybody else's safety?
On that day, the devil will have skated to work.

Oh yeah, forgot it was Beemer driver. ;)

Yeah, common sense is an optional extra, like the indicators and the "being let out of junctions" kit. ;)

Still fitted to current models.  :y
My fun car is a 2020 Bmw F32 430d M Sport with indicators.
My cruiser is an Audi A6 Avant S Line Black Edition with indicators.

Good to know  :y I quite fancy a 24hr test drive (since they keep plugging that on the radio) of a new generation BMW.. I mean, it couldn't be any more likely to break down than my decade old one, surely ;D

They offered me one.

I'm tempted by the new 600 BHP M5............24 hour test drive was for an electric sewing machine called an I3.

No thanks. :-\

Bloke I used to work with had an M135i and then went to the F10 generation M5, beautiful piece of kit, sounded just lovely! He used to do 20k/yr in it, rain shine or snow! Proper petrolhead.
