Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Hopefully you won’t be too out of pocket considering insurance payouts tend to be somewhat short of retail price, but with some luck not too far out from your trade in valuation.
Still a very shitty thing to happen, and I hope with time justice is done and everyone can start to relax at night again.

Re: New Emissions Regs Proposal
While I think it’s crazy to expect a ten year old car with maybe 150,000 miles on it to meet exactly the same emission standards as it did when brand new, I also think lots of people are taking the piss.
Buying cars which in theory have low emissions and sit in a low tax band, to then gut the dpf ...

The council actually came past and cleared the drains in the road outside our house the other day, I was amazed, don’t think I’ve ever seen them do them here before!

I like Jimmy Carr, but knowing a bit about cars and having some nice cars doesn’t mean you’re going to be good on a tv program about cars.
Chris Evans was the perfect example of that.

Re: The Cats are good too thread
He was a bit dozy and off his food Sunday, then we found a pigeon in the garden that had been hollowed out.
It wasn’t unusual for him to either scrap or hunt / scavenge and be a bit off for a couple of days so didn’t think much of it. Didn’t seem to be hurting, grumpy, or anything, just very sleepy ...

Re: The Cats are good too thread
It has really floored me. We’ve lost several cats over the years, and while all sad, none have been like this.
These are just a few clips going back a couple of years, as you can imagine there are many many more.

Re: Today’s want
I’d love a corrado, would be happy with a 16v to be honest, none of them are fast and I’m not worried about that these days anyway.
I’ve always liked them, but think they aged quite quickly initially when everything else was a round blob, but now they look surprisingly crisp and modern.

Re: Anyone ever request a plate from DVLA?
EVR 410 could have been put on something that was scrapped or just parked up 50+ years ago and never got a modern V5. DVLA won’t ever release a plate for reuse even if properly disposed of.

I have not, but I know a few people who have. Some have got one for a decent price, some have been bid against and had to spend more than they were expecting for ‘their’ plate, others have been outbid way above what they were prepared to pay.

Yeah, I get that cats getting very hot, and have to, but you’d usually shouldn’t be able to feel it noticably from inside the car!
I think you’d probably hear a leak that was bad enough to leak fumes or upset the fuel/ air ratio.
