Anything is worth exactly what someone will pay for it, I have no problem with that. It's just a shame when something gets so valuable you're unable to use it for its core function. that's all. A shame, but eventually it’ll have to be retired from thrashing around a track anyway - there’s surely on...

but as a piece of history or even art, it is cheap when you compare it to some of the crazy prices people pay for famous paintings.

What happened to Duncs? Mech issue? (Not a crash I hope...!)

“The new owner of this 250 GTO is David MacNeil, CEO of WeatherTech – a car floor mat manufacturer...”

Clearly the fella who does the embroidery on Yu’s mats.

Well I answered the mystery of who scratched my bumper...

Of course it was me! I just did it again in the exact same place, on my wall coming into my own driveway!

Glad I haven’t got round to fixing the last one! Googling “bodyshops in ascot”....

Open the bonnet, borrow those kid’s basketball and throw it with just the right force at the underside to knock it back out.

Or yep, if the paint isn’t broken, that’ll go back from what I’ve seen.

Sounds rubbish.

I think they’re for people with special needs.

i think it’s “Auris-ry” now.

Lotus still make cars?!

Ahh, thanks. I should know this as the Mrs was made redundant back in March. Mind, she didn't work any notice, just got her redundancy pay off. PILON is the best way to go - you’re completely free to go (and/or start elsewhere) and you get the notice money pretty much tax free. I had it a few years...

Forgive my potential naivety but if you're working notice surely you should be being paid as per normal (contract terms assuming)? Only times I've heard of "pay-off" is when the person isn't working their notice. You're entitled to a redundancy payment as well as your pay for the time you...

Not exactly bleeding-edge linguistic skills there mate

True, though i don’t think I’ve ever seen it written down!

That “word of the day” calendar you stole from the stationary cupboard is better than any pay off mate...

tbh - after MLB, I wouldn’t actually be surprised with some of them.

I bet that about 50% of the cats in that still completely ignored the script!

UPDATE Superlight R It's been so nice having this sat in the garage ready to use whenever I fancy a blast. With the Elise I got so used to owning it but never being able to use it, that the novelty of being able to start this and even drive it are taking a while to wear off. Last weekend youngest f...

A “Rebecca Jackson” is on the list too - not familiar with her, but it says she’s a car journo....

They also talk about that charisma free twat Philip Glenister though...

Receipt says £85.15 less the price of packet of Wrigley's airwaves gum (45p). I now just need to price per litre of superunleaded from that filling station. I googled to find those price comparison websites for fuel but couldn't find Shell Crystal Palace. Foiled! :( it usually says how many litres ...
