ouch, thanks for biting my head off. I didnt say that they were a bad idea I just suggested that maybe purchasing a car without them may save a little cash, never said I was gods gift Don't automatically think someone is having a go and go on the offensive |
I didn't specifically mean you tho btw, there's just a general
atmosphere regarding parking sensors in that anyone who likes them can't
park. Like I said, personally I think anything that stops other
braindead morons from backing in to my car has to be a great idea.

The 'No' bit that is. If you're implying that parking sensors are expensive and somehow lower people. much like not getting a car with power steering and going to the gym instead? |
you're the type who likes running on the spot whilst watching silent sky
news?

Manufacturers stated a reason for parking sensors was for people with mobility problems i.e. turning their head round or looking over their shoulder. |

I forgot to point out in my previous post, as well as having a taste for
attempting to fit my car into incredibly small spaces, it also happens to be
a Peugeot 305 - which has big, sticky-out bumpers made of thick metal which
are bolted quite rigidly to the chassis. I think I could destroy just about
any modern bumper with a bit of a nudge
Perhaps that's a good reason for me to get parking sensors fitted - would
probably be the only 80's car around here with em anyway.. then maybe I
could get sat-nav and TV screens... hmm...
Or maybe a new car?

driver? There's no point in doing this in a loaded van or truck - you have
to use mirrors and judgment.

Oh on the subject of sensors, satnav and TV Screens, go the CarPC route,
I have in the Saab (although I blew up the screen and haven't replaced
the parts yet) Ask Ronny when he's arround, it is far cheaper and better
than the stupidly expensive dedicated incar DVD/Nav systems.

Hehe! Whilst I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment, you've got to see
the irony in your wording - "...are you a fucking retard..."
