I know they are but I hadn't seen the 'snow sock' thing, I thought the picture had been photo shopped for comic effect. I have never seen a snow sock before. I get it now though :haha:

BMW are about to start production of a front wheel drive car (apart from the MINI) called the 0-series after a poll of 1-series drivers showed that 80% of them thought their cars were front wheel drive. It's not the first pic I've seen like that either.

Are you serious? Thats bloody pathetic. How could you buy a car and not know something as basic as what wheels the power goes to

Yes, serious as cancer. They are to share the engine from a MINI, so not too bad. Not sure when production is set for, I know a lot more about MINI production.
TBH I can see where this is coming from, a 1-series isn't an obvious car for rwd unless you know about BMW's, and most 1-series drivers won't. The fact is that most people like the looks and economy more than actual spec.

Are you serious? I've seen people who doesn't know what is the car battery and don't even know if their cars petrol or diesel!!!

Ahahahahahaha, thats crazy. I have never met anyone like that. There should be a law against being that stupid :haha:. I mean, everyone starts out not knowing anything but the VERY least that you should do is research your car before you buy it
It's all down to the technology these days, I mean 100 years ago you had to be a mechanic to drive a car or your driver was a mechanic, now it's all down to the sensors and computers and even mechanics don't know as much as they used to!
Some people in the UK are strange as well, don't know the very basics not just about the cars, but about life or simple things or the History or Geography for example - every 5th pupil (in the UK) couldn't show the UK on the world's map! Most of the people i've seen in the recent days, when stuck in snow, will push the accelerator HARDER and HARDER!
Almost every mechanic I met was shit - about 5 mechanics now! All they care about is to get paid and nothing else! Even now I'm looking for a good mechanic for a decent price! One polish bloke was pretty good, shame he moved back to Poland!
