    I have just secured a stack of these for a massive tax-free undisclosed investment from a fellow shiter and all round good egg who posted them at lightning speed so I could relive some of my (almost) youth.  My favourites were the buyers guides which were the perfect antidote to the fucking hushed reverential tones in which even the most elderly German heap of rust normally had to be discussed in those days.
     
    It felt brilliantly subversive at the time.  Somewhere around this time I got a promotion and was offered a basic BMW 3 series as a company car "congratulations" beamed the boss "you can have a BMW".  "I don't want one" had him a bit baffled, but we settled on the nearly new Sierra XR 4x4 of a recently departed salesman instead.
     
    This is just a quick random selection -

    Actually I think it would be pretty fitting - sums up my life in many ways - pretty average - and I don't mean that in a self-pitying or self-deprecating way - we can't all be fucking Elvis.

    Totally agree I loathe most BMs but these (and a few others) have a nice look to them.

    More than welcome to borrow my engine crane - I can't offer to deliver it, but maybe passing shiter could move it?  (5 mins from J23 M1)

    Cracking idea, get it on Rumanian plates and save on parking fines, speeding fines, MOT, insurance et al.

    Some logbook loans don’t show up so owner borrows up to the hilt and then sells the car on, double bubble that way.
     
    Stupid thing to do from your home address though, have they any idea how many Argos catalogues they will be collecting from their local Post Office?

    I did most of my learner driving with my Grandmother as the instructor and I was shocked at how much abuse she dished out to people who did stupid things because I was a learner. This is a lady who barely ever swore and all of a sudden she was giving out hand gestures and shouting ‘You Brain Dead Wanker!’ At people!

    Can I also add a FFS at a thread posted by someone asking for advice about a potentially stolen car degenerating into yet another slanging match?  We don't even need to mention Brexit any more for people to start hurling insults at each other.

    Just got one cut in Timpson for my X350 Jag earlier today.  Not super cheap at £59 but a good job and includes the immobiliser chip. 
     
    Also I approve of Timpsons business and employment practises -

    Even for a budget of a couple of grand, the more 'regular' classic stuff on ebay is pretty dire, 'non-starter/runner, needs welding, needs to be trailered away'. Excellent condition for the year, hmm our definitions of excellent are not the same. £2k should get you something decent shouldn't it FFS? I'm tired of projects, I don't have the focus or the energy anymore, just want to get into something and drive the bloody thing. Rant over.

    As someone else observed - that's not the objective.  The objective is to appear tough on "scoungers" (the sad truth is many people who haven't had dealings with this stuff and/or have no empathy don't realise what it is like and think it's all scrounging), whilst ensuring friends of the relevant government folk get to trouser plenty of cash.

    My then wife sourced a brand new Alfa GTV in 2000 from Belgium or Holland - it was way cheaper than the UK price.  We didn't go to Belgium though, somewhere in Kent to collect it.  It took quite a while to be made/delivered though. She did a lot of miles in it during which it was 100% reliable and very unlike the reputation people like to ascribe to the them.
