Of course this wouldn't be an issue but for the fact that Ive just done the crimbo card run with my wife and it seems that most of her mates live in new estates in Scotby/Wetheral/Cumwhinton and ratching about looking for Rose Cottage #11 was getting pretty damn old.

Edit: Ha! not a bug, bad user data ! Happy Days

I'd go as far as to say that theres very few occasions when foglights are beneficial and most times they just dazzle the fuck out of other road users.
