Title: EVERYONE GIVE A FLASH
Post by Dean on Oct 19th, 2004, 12:27am
Hi Guys
why don't we give two flashes of the headlamps to every Scorpio we see ? if this is returned by two flashes we'll know its another member.................and not someone trying to warn us of a speed trap ahead(not that i do this myself, as i understand that it upsets our wonderful boys in blue)

just a thought  :-/

Dean   ;)

I totally agree with Craig (especially the likely result), so look out Cambridgeshire too!!

I will give it a go but at the moment I'm stuck in an old Sierra estate until my Scorp is back on the road.  Look out Buckinghamshire then!

I know Craig's worried about 'hidden codes' in the headlight flashing and he might be right.
Having just seen something on telly about dogging, my recommendation would be to not flash your lights if you are stationary.  ::)

I have just given a fellow Scorp 2 flashes and got a really filthy look, I then checked the instructions and noticed the bit about 2 flashes of 'HEADLIGHTS' and now realise why I got a filthy look - ooh er !

An interesting situation arose today and I wasn't quite prepared for it, so I just want to check with you all....

What is the sequence of flashes exactly when you come up behind another Scorpio?  :-/

Its been 5 years since I retired from the company, I wonder how much we will get for a trade in at the local Merc dealership?'.......... ;)
