Fog lamp inoperative. Switch lit the reverse lamp instead.

Very pleased. And usual CMC TLC. Car even washed before collection. I think he gets to wash it more than me :-/

I do use the fog light. Pity the poor sucker behind me who thought I was selecting reverse at 50 mph, then!!

I generally crash into bollards ;-)

Actually, the reverse light did also work. Not that that helped in France...
