Why on Earth do people in cities feel the need to have an unnecessarily massive 4x4 vehicle and why for the love of all things sacred do their headlights have to be at just the right level to hit ALL THREE of Monty's mirrors and BLIND me when the :w00t: pull up behind me in a queue of traffic?!?!?

My job is headache enough without some sodding Muppet in a 4x4 giving me a migraine by throwing the Blackpool Illuminations at me from their headlamps!

GRRR!!

*Ahem*

Sorry... heh.

If you live in the country by all means have a 4x4 or even if you're into offroad motor sports, that's fair enough. That's what they're designed for .... but for heaven's sake don't tell me you need one if you live in the middle of Birmingham! They're completely unnecessary in the city. In fact, they're flippin' well dangerous!

i fitted some wipac halogen ones in my old landie. makes it a bit better, although the hunting lamps on the rollcage make it seem like daylight.

Just stick a Nightsun II search light on the front - about 30 million candle power, and uses 1300 watt Xenon arc tube:

That should be bright enough to melt the paint off any chelsea tractor! :w00t:


Might need a bigger alternator though.....
