    Calling bullshit on that. Trespassing yes, but bullshit to the theft

    It's a very good point. Certain stuff will always sell, and fairly easily too. JM, Dan and Eddy plus the other yankophiles will have their own spin, but I would suggest Tri-Chevs, good honest muscle (not necessarily restored, just honest cars), 50's station wagons, 49-51 Mercs, early 50's pick-up. Quite easy to move on swiftly, and make a few quid too.
     
    But importing a car isn't an expensive process, as a rule of thumb I would add $1000 to Ã‚£1500 to the US$ sale price of the car you have bought. That figure includes the physical act of shipping, getting it from the vendor to the boat, the paperwork at both ends. So buying and shipping a car yourself can be much cheaper than buying one that someone else has shipped in to sell on. Plus you get what you want, rather than getting what is for sale.
     
    So, in my case, at US$2750 plus £1100 shipping, by the time it was parked on my driveway, the Galaxie stood me at just under £3k and was just about a bargain. Selling it for a profit (despite it's rarity) is another matter.

    Building on Dave's excellent suggestion, I'd like a deep oubliette constructing to house serial middle lane hoggers.
     
    Perhaps equipped with a pissing platform around the edge at the top.

    But then you get trucks lined up in lane 6, oblivious assholes spaced out in lane 7 and bumper to bumper 110mph Audis in lane 8 with nothing on the inner ones at all.....Back to where we started.
     
    Seriously, a few bodies swinging from the overhead gantries and "Get out of the middle lane, asshole" daubed in blood would go a long way.

    Absolutely NO more new roads. This country doesn't need more roads. Instead lots of new or expanded airports so everyone can fly short haul to anywhere in the country for £17.99

    This is so simple.
     
    Start building at Southampton, head north until you get to the Scottish coast at Durness, 8 lanes all the way and as close to perfectly straight as possible. Fuck whatever is in the way, this is progress and YOU can't stop it. Every 25 miles, have a junction with a 3 lane motorway going off at right angles and heading for the coast.
     
    Sorted, next.
