I like to think I'm a reasonable sort of chap, so they should be given the chance to be euthanised at the same time as the dog perhaps?

Seems to have good grip whilst airborne too!

It was the Perfect summer of '76.

Many years ago I was driving a GP beach buggy at 41 in a 30 area, having spotted the Police too late. The 41 was with my brakes locked up, and they complimented me on being alert and the buggy for its sharp brakes. Still got 3 points and a £20 fine though.

We got one new in 1997 and happily drove from Derby to the Dordogne on holiday in it, though the missus would have liked to have had more luggage space. Bliss!

As an old git I remember genuinely small cars like the 1965 Elan I once had. 3.68m long by 1.42m wide.

That is the shape know as 'correct'.

Echo that. These twighlight years are for enjoying internal combustion before it’s banned. EV fine for a runabout but not a fun car. Get your name down for a GT4 RS instead :D That's an idea that makes me smile, but its extra potential would be beyond my abilities to exploit if I'm honest. :oops:

Bearing in mind I'm getting old and my last 23 years of motoring have been various Boxsters and Caymans, should I put my name down for a (2025?) Electric Cayman? I still grin when I see the needle passes 7000, and I like to think others enjoy the sound as well. Bit of a first world problem I know, b...

I draw the line at Fly tipping. What have the filthy little bastards ever done for us?

I knew this thread would attract some knickers... I mean knockers!

My Nokia 3210 stylishly ignored it.

That looks fabulous Dan. (And I say that coming from a background of having worked at Rolls-Royce Aerospace all of my working life, latterly in Quality Assurance).

If any of you use Black Circles for your tyre requirements don't forget to tick the competition entry box on their forms. I did a week ago and got my £620 back for the new rear tyres on my car today. They have a weekly competition and I was this week's winner! Top firm to deal with.
