Skut reacted to Saabnut in Boggles my mind…… Towing.
They may look like wheelbarrow wheels, but they are very different. Every law that applies to a car applies to a trailer and faults are punished as if it were a car (in law, a trailer is a vehicle). Police are much keener on checking trailers these days, after all the motorist is an easy target.

Skut reacted to Stanky in Lazy spotters thread
Back from collecting the cat from the cattery where she spent Christmas, and this is the view of the man (and I will bet my house and all its contents that it is a single, 60-something man who permanently wears a string vest and trousers held up with binder-twine) next door's half of the shared driveway
Heroic stuff

Skut got a reaction from Rust Collector in What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread
I got to drive two USDM cars yesterday. A 1996 Ford Aspire and a 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis. Still buzzing!
The Mercury was the car I really wanted to drive. It rocks when you blip the throttle! Nor does it seem monstrously big but that’s maybe because it’s on a big American driveway. It doesn’t seem particularly fast but it’s hugely characterful. It wonders quite a bit even at low speeds but corners relatively flat. It seems inconsistent. Sometimes floaty, sometimes not. It rides pretty well but shudders still get through to your bum at times.
The Aspire drives like filth by comparison. Any attempt to go round a corners above parking speeds and the steering goes horribly heavy. A real set in concrete feel. Something is very wrong in the sensors somewhere as it starts to die the second you put any load on it. The manual gearbox was fine. About the only good thing about it. It was hard work to drive. It felt as if it had to be manhandled everywhere.
Loved every minute of it!
Also the remains of what I think is a 40s Chevrolet upside down in a wood.
