I've got one of those on the Dacia. Saddest looking mod is the chrome numberplate surround and LED rear lights on the Freight Rover Sherpa 😂

Not so much a modern thing as a Peugeot thing, I don't think they made any cars where parts gathering is simple. I never did find a sump to fit the 405 so had to get the old one welded. -

It's more car versions of small vans like the Berlingo and Connect now. Although I think you could get the Corsa E and the last Fiesta as vans. Edit. I'm sure they were offering an almost pointless commercial version of the Twizy 2nd edit. Van version of electric London Taxi -

If you don't mind a trip for one I seem to be trying to get rid of sofas almost weekly. Just put a beige 2 seat sofabed into a lady's storage unit that she probably won't want when she completes on her new house in a month or so. -
And look here comes a Ford Mondeo Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous And he don't even have to say 'owt She understands she's here to get picked up

I saw a UAZ 452 on the M25 yesterday, I got very excited much to the bemusement of my colleague. -
Most Dangerous Fault You've (Unwittingly) Driven With.

There was the fact that the NSF wheel on a certain Dacia rusted through. The tyre went flat on the ferry to England after a few thousand km of all sorts of roads. -

Possibly the most memorable was a kart I was trying to diagnose why it had been red carded and taken out of use. I checked everything on the usual list and could only come up with the brakes being a bit spongy. Asked the gaffer for a new cable, "none in stock, cut some off this reel and use a choc block for the end" did as instructed and all seemed fine so put my lid on and took it onto the track. At the first bend I learned 2 things; 1, The reason for the card was a bent bumper that held it on full throttle once the pedal was pressed down. 2, My choc block wasn't on tight enough. -
Because a Rolls Royce never broke down but did occasionally fail to proceed.

Well done, now crack on getting the Standard roadworthy remembering at all times what it's called 😜

Ah we were wondering 😂 I remember doing that when mine were small, it's really odd waking up at 11pm with no idea where you are 🙈 The Zoom call was great, Chris can pretty much only do Wednesday's but we could always try one on a different night to pick up the folk that can't do Wednesday. Friday night Northern Powermouse? (To follow The Zoom of dreams) 😜 I can't think of a computer based pun for Midlands Massive but I'm sure someone else can.

I suppose that each new environmental standard causes them many £millions of r+d to meet so they need to sell a lot of trucks to make it worthwhile. There's a few smaller specialist manufacturers such as Dennis and some of the super heavy haul stuff. Do they get exemptions from some of the standards or just buy a complete engine and electronics package from the big boys?
