OV9

Watched ep1 last night. It felt much less forced than the Top Gear reboot and I enjoyed it overall.

I can see Francis getting annoying over time, though - he has great enthusiasm but just comes across a bit too much like a ten year old boy (spoken from someone who has one of those...). Also they ...

I haven't managed to watch one of these yet but seems like I should give it a go.

Did you go twice? :-D


Never mind that, no photos on a trip like that? :?


Funnily enough, I didn't take any photos of the car on this trip - I was having too much fun driving


Brings back happy memories of the European road trip I did in my Boxster not long after I first met my wife ...

Well - the Range Rover had a good run without costing too much in servicing and repairs. Sadly that has come to an end!

Just went in today and the service and MOT is £1,000 for a kick off. Then got the below list of remedial items:

- headlamp beams have become misaligned and need adjustment ...

Looks like they've used the front of a Camero when it should have been a Challenger. Back and side profile also look nothing like an Interceptor.

According to to AI…

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 ...
