rtbiscuit Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 you have to remember that bmw drivers have to deal with the fact that everything apart from a steering wheel is an optional extra. thats why so few of them have indicators.

KJ. Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 One of the problems with working in a place that can easily produce stickers... I walked round the front of my car so I didn't even see it and drove all the way home with it on there. I have to check my car for stickers everytime I leave the office now! Could be worse though, I'll be getting him back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff-r Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 mine doesn't have a nissan badge on it anywhere, so people always ask me what it is, and i always say its a 350Z But I bet you'll find one under the bonnet, along with a Renault one but seriously, the Datsun joke? We should all know our car's came from Datsuns, 240z are sweet So next time how could you possibly get irritated by someone calling it a Datsun?
