    Also It is the FRENCH that don't wash (smelly gits), Ale (Ale is beer, larger is called larger) is designed to be drunk at room temp (cor bloody hethens ). And no we don't like Peter Ande you can have him back along with rolf harris and Gemanie Grer ( Orwhatever her/his (never can work out which one) name is). But then again as i am here , lets leave them over there
    I am with you about Greer and Rolf!

    The ale thing is really off though. Wandered into a London Pub in September last year, bit of an Indian summer happening - tempertaure over 30 Degrees C (warm for London I guess) and got served a beer that was about the same temp. Bloody disgusting, the worst of it all though was the fact that the only 'chilled' beer was Fosters. Talk about caught between the devil and the deep blue sea!

    Come to think of it, Fosters should stay in the UK with Greer, Harris and Andre

    If the rubber seal and the bolts were hidden they wouldn't look to bad. More of a Defender thing in my mind.
    I don't mind them

    The general consensus has been that these type of things would be illegal as are roof mounted lights - if this is the case how come some models of Jeep Cherokee that were on sale a couple of years ago have roof mounted lights as standard - I think the original current shape Cherokee Sport had them fitted - I saw a black one in our carpark today.

    There is or was a rule (in Aust) that no other light (as in high beam jobbies) could be mounted higher than the standard high beam light - apart from "work lights" - swivel mounted and with a handle....

    According to three separate officers at Qld. Transport, roof mounted light installations are now permitted. Previously the installation itself was illegal. They do not meet the Dept's definition of accessory or extra headlights as they are too high. They must be independently switched ( not individually switched) and not through the headlights, and the use is a grey area. The rules for the use of high beam lights apply, that is not to be used within 200 metres of any other vehicle, not to annoy the driver of any other vehicle, or interfere with the safe operation of any other vehicle. One officer suggested that the driver of "any other vehicle" could be a stroppy copper or a pedantic transport inspector. Result? Fine, points, and maybe a trip over the pits. He suggested that use be confined to off-road or private roads.

    On roof rack is legal if wired correctly.

    Roof mounted lights very common in the West, especially around the mining sites. Not sure if they're legal here or not, but I regularly pass a Falcon ute that has 4 rather large lights on the roof, and the driver is wearing a Police Sergeant's uniform.

    I previously had two on a work Prado. Provided they're mounted inboard a bit so as not to glare in the side mirrors, and the roof rack is back far enough that the roof casts a shadow over the bonnet, glare is not an issue. I found that they work really well.

    As for the look of them on the roof - well not really my thing. Definitely not for the Disco.
    Cheers .........
