    Neither do I. I can't tell the difference between a Range Rover/Sport, Discovery or Freelander without reading the badges now.

    I was going to ask if anybody knew what the story is with the Mercedes that's always parked on the A9 but the local rag answered it yesterday http://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/local/perth-kinross/man-facing-second-winter-in-car-after-escaping-neighbour-problems-1.141712
     
    I've posted the link in case any other Scottish shiters have seen it and wondered.

    I disabled the immobiliser on my Xantia on its first journey. All you have to do is unplug the keypad while the engine is running.

    It's very easy to get a 1.3 Marina sideways, especially if you put a Vauxhall Viva engine in the boot without any restraint.

    I've considered railway work because it does at least pay reasonably well.
     
    I don't mind working hard or putting in the hours when it's needed but it's got to the stage where every single week has at least one day's free time wiped out and now they are after my weekends and holidays too.

    Can't you roll while driving? My neighbour used to do it all the time and he only had one arm. Sometimes he would decide to fiddle with the stereo mid-roll, which was a bit alarming as it was the right arm he still had.

    It's got to be a CityRover, they might be extinct by the next time you're buying a car.

    If people keep saying "Why don't you sell all these heaps and buy a new car on finance?" you're probably driving autoshite.

    Couple of my friends were contemporaries of JV at Durham in the mid/late-80s. By all accounts, he was a dick even then...

    One of the more distressing effects of the recession is that Tesco morons are starting to shop in Lidl. I go to Lidl to avoid being near these people.

    It used to annoy me when people did full restorations on cars that were already sound thereby wasting both the original car and the replacement parts. I think this one goes a bit far the other way though.

    You could try Upullit. They charge the same price for a size, regardless of make or condition. If they are attached to wheels (that you don't want) they take a deposit and you can have them removed at a garage next door- although it closes at lunchtime on Saturday and doesn't open on Sunday.

    I used to remember telephone numbers by car model numbers, even if they didn't quite fit. I remembered the number 825934 as a Rover and half way between two Porsches and 818736 was a Mazda and not quite a BMW. For some reason I find that convoluted logic easier than just remembering numbers.

    I sometimes go through reverse before setting off from a junction to make the driver behind think I have an automatic.

    The MG dealer in Stoke felt the need to tweet when they managed to shift an MG3 (not the one in the picture).
