Default What crosses your mind when you see this....?

Driving home a bit later than usual from work and had the lights on for the first time in quite a while.

It always puts a smile on my face to flick on the headlights, sort of changes a it from a shark into something else ...

Couldn't help but take a quick photo.

Cheers

Richard

With the headlights up it turns into an adorable 1950 Austin Healy Sprite

It also helps me park because I can't see the nose of the car and I don't want to bump into a curb.

I find people stopped at red lights staring at the headlamps when they are raised.
It is so very uncommon to have this type of lighting fixture on any new car

I agree. Sometimes at dusk when I see someone at the light next to me looking over, you know they are trying to figure out what the car is, I flip the lights up. It always gets a surprised reaction. My grandkids love it, when my granddaughter sees it she laughs .

Even during the day i will cycle the lights when i see someone looking at the car. Often gets a good reaction when i look across.

Yep every day I plod along the Northern to and from the Shore .... I take the 928 to make me feel better about life. I try and visualise being on an autobahn doing 5 times the speed.

If only........

Tazzieman has it right with the picture.

Ribbit.

It doesn't help that I have a green one.

I do think, however that they are the coolest and most unique retractable headlights out there,

I love parking mine with them still up (turn key off first, then lights). I 'justify' it by saying that I'm saving the motor an unnecessary trip around. While that is true, these motors have a finite life, I'm really doing it because I like to walk back to the car and see the lights up.
