"Errr your lights are on" reply with "yeah i know" and carry on walking away you get some really funny looks

Haha! I get this all the time with my car. I've always wondered though why people say "you've left your lights on mate" when I've got a 3" turboback exhaust shouting at them.... Surely they'd notice that the car was still running?

Constantly get people flashing their lights at me during the day time - I wave back

Heh, reminds me of the fun I often have removing 'hoodies' or unwanted people from within my vicinity.

When I'm in my local McDonalds, etc and there is a group of troublemakers in my vicinity I have great fun with the remote locking. The Volvo fob is sooo powerful compared to other cars (in terms of range/distance).

I too have fun with lights and the alarm. It's amazing how quick the alarm shifts people. The S60 alarm is very loud.

I'm loving it!

If she was a nice looking girl I hope you got her phone number

most new bmws have dlr lights these days, some owners want them on some don't (we don't turn many off though)

Last night on the way home from work along the M1, about 10.30pm (after dark) and a traffic cop in a V70 came flying past me, must have been doing about 120mph+. Not only did he not have any emergency flashers on he had also forgotten to even switch on his headlights/sidelights/driving lights etc. Completely in the dark on the M1 at 120mph!!!!!!

Think he must drive a private Volvo at home and is not used to having to switch the lights on.

If it's the angel eye (or is it halo?) ones, the ring around the headlight, then IMO that's not too bad. They make the car noticable, better than the side/parking light. It's having to ride around with effectively dipped headlights all the time that I don't really like. I'd prefer another light, brighter than the side/parking/whatever you call them but not full intensity.

I'm thinking are LED replacements for the side/parking lights brighter than the filament type. If so I may swap and just drive with these on (using the light switch setting on the dash).

Just my thoughts

That'd be the stealth V70 then
