OV9

In short:

- Bloke gives $200k Lego collection to a franchised B&M store to sell for him.
- Bloke dies. Store changes franchisee
- Son of bloke goes to get Lego sets back. Store refuses, claiming not to know anything about it, calls cops on son and gets him banned.
- Son goes to guy called Reckless ...

As it's Lego related, anyone watching this drama unfold between "Bricks and Minifigs" and YT'er called Reckless Ben in the states over a $200,000 Lego collection?

Neither is actually eligible for the 2026 award, as they were purchased in 2026.

True. Should have bought them next year for this year.

Future Evo car purchase of the year

Nice

POTY will be decided by RichB's colour preference.

I like it but at £29k it’s not very appealing. I prefer the Rotrex route, only up to 300bhp but DIY friendly and looks OEM+


+the cost of a decent base car. Plenty around for £5k (NB) but not sure if they're good enough for the work. Personally I'd struggle to justify £40k for an MX5, but I can ...

Just like Dunc's old car...although can't remember if his was N/A or S. Either way, that's a great shout.

I've never tended to flip cars quickly, but I’ve never held on to any other vehicle for anything like this length of time. I’m not really sure if that is testament to the Evora’s many virtues, or a reflection of the fact that - whilst there are many other cars out there which carry appeal - there ...

The Up passed it's MOT - apparently flying colours, but in reality, it's colours are soiled due to a minor for rear bushes.


I've had mixed experiences with autodoc. Exceptional range of parts, but usually quite slow to arrive.

By far my fave is Carparts in Motion via ebay:

This was the closest thread I could find...

Seen this recent news about a fella winning 3 competitions on the bounce with Dream Car Giveaways? Apparently won a house, and 2 cars. Even at max tickets purchased, this seems absurd.

Edit - 1 in 700million to win all 3.

DCG have apparently referred ...

The Boys season 5 ended on a damp squib

Other than some absurdist violence, it just felt formulaic, and more of a traditional superhero show. Soldier Boy was wasted and may as well have not been there other than some quippy lines.

Age, height, weight - all are a factor for ease of entry in an Elise. If you're old, tall and chonky then there's no graceful way unfortunately :lol: you do eventually get the knack of doing it eventually. Alternatively, just only use it when the weathers nice and always keep the roof off.

Anyway ...

I had some moaning rear brakes on the van and a look showed some big lips on the edges of the discs (i only had an MOT last month and no mention).

i ordered some new brembo discs from euro carparts (i already had some pads) for £75 each and got a nice 30% discount (so i ordered some £115 front ...

Rumoured to be also on NOS. Throw the bellend in prison for a few months, kids look up to him so the message needs to be clear.

Probably just me, but I bulk at the idea of spending £800 a year on road tax for a second car.

I could probably justify if I was buying a single, all-rounder, but paying £1500/year for tax and insurance for a car that's only for weekends before you get to fuel and servicing rubs me the wrong way ...

Currently in Saunderfoot, plenty of metal at the seafront. Loud R8, some highly modified Mustang, and about 3 Cayman GT4s

Undoubtedly my favourite, albeit back in Telford, was a green Vauxhall Maloo! Library picture but same type....thundering along.

Keep calm, then carry on:

Looks like a good day, and can't complain about the weather, that's for sure.

Kudos to whoever cleaned @MikeHunt's car, that is some shine 8-)


Gavin, maybe I do need the details of your/Dan’s valeter 😄


Very slightly different colour to yours though, isn't it? Can't quite tell because one ...

I'm friends (friend!) with Dave, the owner of that yellow one on Facebook. Not sure why, I don't think I know him at all! Either way, it looks mint. He's a serial Lotus owner and appears to look after his stuff well, so no doubt it's a good car.

Problem is, if you're buying with future values in ...
