Pointless Car Equipment
 

On the back of the "Bright Button" thread i thought i'd ask anyone what the most pointless-silly equipment / gadgets you have ever come across in your cars, be it subaru or any other car you've owned?

Front fog lights :hjtwofing

Space saver......... Have just upgraded brakes on my RA, there's no way the space saver will go over the Brembos

Many years ago the NS passenger seat on my A35 van was an optional extra but I had one anyway (yes - I am old). AFRIKANZ why not get a 17" STi spacesaver from a breakers.

indicators in a BMW

Starter key for my Old Lancia Delta, well more of a go wrong key!! The car sat on my drive in bits longer than it was driven.............Grrrrrrrrrrr

A girlfriend.:hjtwofing

my dad had an MPV with a compass mounted on the dashboard, I mean WTF... are you supposed to go orienteering or something??

I think the model was popular amongst scout masters

The third/middle sun visor in my Scoob :wonder:


WTF

I think Shoguns still have this amazing feature :)

i actually find that very useful..

Years ago I was given a courtesy car while mine was in for servicing.

It was a Datsun Bluebird. It had a warning light on the Dash that lit up illuminating the word "BRAKING", every time you pressed the brake pedal.

Why?:confused:

I have been loooking forward to the day when i find use for it. :)

A mate used to have a Starlet thingy and on the dash was an economy light that lit up when you did more than 2000 revs or something.

A knocklink...?

comes in handy when you driving into the sun... you have to remember to pull it down though.

being serious I know it's not perfect but it's better than nothing.

Would you not melt? :wonder:

Only if you forget to pull it down :cool:

Front Foglights, middle sun visor and c0cklinks... :nono:

no as I have the sun visor:Whatever_

Just to warn you
PSL
will be along with the cocklink at some point :D

yep, kids have finished school for the day..

I suspect a secondary reason for the posting of this thread was to lure him out of his pit

Hadn't thought that far :brickwall ............... Good one!:thumb:

:lol: also add Audi and Mercedes.

Wolfie.

Forgot to say also, accelerator pedal in some of the cars around here :mad:.

Wolfie.

Shogans also have a pitch guage to let you know if you are about to roll over. Some had a little red mark on the scale, which meant you were immenantly to be on your roof. Rather than giving a fair warning I think its a bit late to let you know that mid roll!:wonder:

Theyre not standard. You have to opt for the Courtesy Pack!

Pink fluffy dice :D

I think that is a good idea :thumb:
VW use them also so it must be good :lol1:

I know one gadget Subaru wont fit......A mpg display :cry:

Car horn. Only ever used
By taxis outside someone elses house.
3 times for ppl to say goodbye when driving away - I know you're leaving. I just said goodbye to you before you got in the car.
To tell ppl who were in the way that they have already driven like a w@nker. Like they care
