Not automatic abandonment : A car is only legally abandoned if it shows signs of neglect, such as being untaxed, having flat tyres, broken windows, missing number plates, or sitting unmoved in the same spot for a very long time.

So try to get the mobile of an “Irishman of no ...

As all the houses on the street we've moved to have drives (and there is no CPZ) so there is an issue with people dumping cars without MOTs on the street whilst they're repaired and/or commercial vans and food trucks.

On knackered transit hasn't moved seemingly in a year from the looks of ...

He had the gearbox fully rebuilt by Iain Tyrrell last year. It could have been caused by someone on the Evo test,, it could have been Harry himself who caused it, or it could have been something wrong with the rebuild - though it did seem fine for a year afterwards so that seems less likely ...

Very nice - looks absolutely immaculate.

I don't think it was deliberate (why would you release it on your own territory) but 100% it came from WIV.

MAD doesn't work so well for something you can generate at home and let out of a vial in a shopping centre versus needing a bomber or ICBM to carry a warhead.

Yes these things are extremely worrying - you would think after Covid 19 and the controversy about WIV and gain of function testing that efforts would have been made to try and put some guardrails about what kind of virology testing and development can be done.

I'm not generally pro-regulation but ...

Yes that was nice - clearly a backdate but not a singer as '83 so 911 SC based seemingly.

Still think I'd take the CGT! First one I've seen not in a showroom since I saw a brand new one parked up in Beverley when I was 17.

The Carrera GT is this one by the way 8-)

Appreciate it isn't a true set of spotteds but I mosey'd along to a Cars on the Green in Fulham the other weekend with my son. Some properly iconic machinery in attendance:

"Extensive entertainment facilities"

Those oddballs in Lincolnshire need to find something to entertain themselves among the dreary flatlands.

That one will be properly Lol-worthy with road dirt in a Scottish winter

Congrats mate - that was a long slog.

Passenger window now goes up and down without making terrifying crunching noises - hurrah!

Didn't notice till I got home that neither interior or exterior door handles work.

Will see what they want to do about that :lol:


Its very hard to believe they didn't notice that when re-assembling the ...

Fair point!

I think to be fair to them its partly the Argentinian team stop fucking about fouling everyone so much and trying to get people sent off and actually start playing football once they're behind. The England team then being in full defensive mode is really just survival I think.

Yes strange that co-part were doing the valuation - IME valuations have always been done by the insurer themselves. Interestingly I also got a couple of four figure payouts in the last 12 months for the theft of the RR and 911 write off back in '21 which seem to be on account of insurers re ...

Fingers crossed it doesn't go all Jeremy in Patagonia on you!

Hunt for the Wilder people is another great one.

Back onto Event Horizon I watched a YouTube video a while ago that there was an even more extreme horror cut planned and partially shot but got squished by Hollywood. The original had more than enough gore for me.


I think they've lost a ...

Very sad to hear this morning. One of my favourite actors.

I’ve heard you can use them all year round. Almost evergreen you may say.

Had a bit of a panic last night with the immobiliser in a Heathrow car park - the mobile reception seemed to be fine when we parked it up and I "deadlocked" it but was not playing ball last night when we got back. Following a delayed flight and sat in a hot car at 11pm with all our luggage after ...
