Whatsthisthen?

As ever Neil I am happy to join in and see what crops up, but any extravagant LED pics may well be accompanied by my own whingeing comments!!

As usual I don't have any enthusiasm for this kind of thing with the exception that I liked the tail lights on the Volvo 850, ripped off from FIAT then copied onto my C5 estate, closely followed by Neil's Leaf.

And there was a Maserati Quatroporte in the nineties that had interesting tail lights too.

Thiis is one subject that really brings out the miserable old git in me. Yes they may be LED minimal energy consumption, but add all the energy used by all the vehicles for unnecessary lights and it would be a significant figure which we just don't need to be wasting on cosmetic frivolity!! The lights tested at an MOT are all that is needed

Quite agreed sir

I'll join in although I'm well asleep before they come out to play...

Boomerangs?

[myglaren]

They were, I believe.

[mickthemaverick]

Does that mean they were always reversing?

As I recall, similar but smaller.

Plenty space for lights shenanigans here, a whole thread devoted to the subject

Meanwhile time for the Falcon to play...I have supplied the last 8 (at least) "whatsthisthen 's" for this thread. Mick a couple before that. Time to spread the load of content creation.

Lets have some new "whatsthisthen 's" from some new posters. I already know the answers to almost all of the ones I post up.

Nice game to play though if you ever drive home in the middle of the night

I do occasionally, on my way home from Somerset, although strictly speaking, it's very early morning! Although I guess technically 03:00 is the middle of the night...
