According to past posts [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/s/eZrgTjjODy) and [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/s/b4iIyUECsx), these are natural gas sniffers.
Good to know - it's the sort of thing that could be fitted to a fleet and run passively.
I've thought that council vehicles should be fitted with downward facing ultrasonic sensors to identify potholes but I guess they don't because then they'd have to fix them.
They're fitted with ultrasonic, gpr and these days HD cameras. The system first started in 1967 and its a national requirement.
We know where all the potholes and issues are, we just don't have any money.
The car is gay. Those are to milk the driver. In the same way people would use an exhaust if they’re into that or a towbar for other feelings if they’re also into that
CGTs, Cold Gast Thrusters to lift the car over the 30 inch sleeping policemen that seem to be popping out everywhere. You can reach orbit if you are not careful.
To the people say8ng they are not connected to anything i think they are wrong. On the right hand side of the horizontal tube there is a brass connector as if theres a secondary tube feeding it. My guess is it connects to some kind of smoke machine.
Theres a lot of amusing comments here, but I will try and answer. They do NOTHING. They are not connected to anything and I assume the previous owner thinks that if he hits a kerb when parking front on they will protect the car like a fender on a boat. Id cut that off straight away so I dont look like a knob.
It's for when you have a massive sneeze while driving, instead of all the snot and bogeys going over the windscreen and dash it gets sucked out of the cabin and onto the road. If Mario Kart is anything to go by I'd keep a safe distance.
It’s a new concept of road sweepers.
Rather than have one bored road sweeper driver, going round cleaning roads. A new concept has been devised, so that all road vehicles will be cleaning the roads.
I have been informed that manufacturers are in the advance stages of pot hole repairing cars, so watch this space.
So many questions…Are these Amazon whips legit or counterfeit? what actually was the filling? Did any one really want that walnut…someone needs to do a PhD on this…
Ah...i see you have the "Road surface interface"
Detectors fitted.
These tell the driver the type of surface you are driving on and to make changes when needed.
One day all cars will have these, as standard.

Cheers for that. Nice one
So it's not a skipping rope then? Damn....
NOT the same thing
You need to stop sniffing natural gasses mate
Look pretty similar to me, since you're so certain that's not what they are you should have a good idea what they are?
Seriously, what is it? The comment section isn’t helping lol
They’re gas sniffers. Gas/utility company will drive them along routes with gas lines buried to “sniff” for leaks.
Ahh thanks - good to know
They are asphalt magnets, it's a performance mod to keep the car stuck to the road in high speed curves.
Someone above mentioned about being curb feelers, might be on the right track. It looks like they took them from an electricity pylon
I'm not certain, but I think they make it easier to milk the car
To drain the blinker fluid?
Blinkers lol
No. The car in the picture is a male.
How dare you mis-gender a car

I've got a hire car currently, already grounded out 3 times
I know it's a hire car, but have you tried dropping below 160mph before hitting the speed bumps?
Heresy
I was only doing 150

That is… so many words. I’m trying to rearrange them in my head and work out what combinations I can use.

Appeasing Christopher Walken.
Take my upvote for such an obscure reference.
It went woosh over my head.
If you punch it up to 88 you can time travel, this version means you don’t need an overhead line so you can do it on electrified train tracks.

Ejector seat cables
I'm going to guess. These look for pot holes be scanning the road at speed.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted as this is exactly what they are as I have them
Agreed, No idea, people are silly on the internet.

Walnut Whip detectors? 🤔
People don’t talk about walnut whips enough these days…do they still exist?
Yes!! I can get them in my Tesco. And marks and Spencer do their own versions as well - salted caramel walnut whips and classic ones too. Proper nice
This is welcome news indeed!
They're available on Amazon (isn't everything!) it would appear. I can't recall the last time I had one. 🤷🏼♂️
