    Halfords are an odd bunch.

    Were going to over take the herse?
    I can't see why not do it, not to sound like an asshole but you have no connection to the person so you don't need to stay behind it.
    If it were my family, I wouldn't be offended if someone over took.

    They said they need the car for legal reasons. :confused:

    Well, I was pulling out of the petrol station, the herse passed. At that time I didnt pass much heed. It was when I pulled in behind the herse I realised there was a coffin in it. I then noticed a car behind me flashing there lights.... So I put 2 and 2 together.

    I also pulled out behind a herse, I then realised there was a coffin in it and the family of the corps was behind me. :eek:

    Driving a yellow car and pulling out behind the hearse? You basically recreated that scene from the inbetweeners...

    Jesus Christ on a bike, BW is now Simon!

    Halfords are idiots. You could drive up in any car and head out stealing stereos from loads of cars. Hell, being in a car would only make that easier. :pac:

    Was on the Gorey bypass/ motorway this evening around 5pm... misty rain, car in front of me brakes and slows to around 80km/h, we pass around a sweeping bend and what do i see...

    ... a mondeo with no roofrack on the hard shoulder with its roof peeling back like a tin can, 2 kayaks on the hard shoulder, one strapped to a roofrack and a guy in the left lane gathering up pieces of kayak and mondeo shrapnel!

    that literally had the potential to be fatal i'd say, imagine being hit in the windscreen at 120km/h by a kayak.

    edit : and a van reversing back to them along the hard shoulder, chaos i tells ya :pac:
