Yawn indeed. There always has been, and always will be disaffected nutters of one sort or another trying to do wrong. No amount of CCTV will stop them. It's a sad fact of life that occasionally their attempts will be successful.addo wrote:I see they trot out the inevitable "it helps us fight terrorism" line. Yawn.

Re: Stupid car tax system needs some sense!
Ah, so that is why you drive a C5! A normally sprung car would lean to one side, and the police would pull you for driving a drunk car!daviemck2006 wrote:I'm 110 kg and in the fat bast**d zone[emoji12] [emoji23]

Re: Stupid car tax system needs some sense!
When I moved into our current house, I made friends with the Geordie neighbour (still am good friends) and he was 22 stone at the time. I had a Puma, and he had a Golf GTi Mk3 with many German tuning goodies (183bhp on the rollers!) He took the Puma for a spin and said "That's a fun little car but I'd need one for each arse cheek"..daviemck2006 wrote:I'm 110 kg and in the fat bast**d zone[emoji12] [emoji23]

He's since lost 11 stone and runs those crazy super-marathons!

Re: Stupid car tax system needs some sense!
I had my first go in it the other day. First drive of one since I sold mine. I'd forgotten how much fun they are.
