    Fake news.

    My car does not have this.

      Wow. I'd take my business elsewhere after asking why exactly they do that.

      Not sure I'd consider something that depreciates so fast as much of an asset. In any case it really would buff out in a few minutes. Modern car paint is strong stuff so as long as you don't dent the panel it's all easy to sort.

      Asda self-serve is the way forward. Cheap as chips, decent sized forecourt, no twat refusing to turn fuel on, and you don't have to talk to anyone.

        Your car might not. Most cars with a fuel tank do.

          Photos or no one believes you - every single car I have ever been in has this.

          Be that in the UK, in Europe or in The US.

            I think some cheaper French cars might not have them - Peugeot/Citroen for example, or older ones.

              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                Neither my wife’s Nissan (2002) or my Citroen C5 (2008) have. I think this, like DRL’s, are a relatively recent thing.

                  I hate the ****ers who decide to have a coffee before coming back out to their car and even worse are the ******* ****ers who don't even put petrol but park at a pump and do a bit of shopping, *******
