No just took it while I was laughing 

Something similar happened on the IOM tt week 

Waiting for the bus back to Douglas 10 miles or so 

A bus arrived 2/3 full with 30 people waiting , they rammed themselves in like sardines , I thought I'm not getting on that I'd sooner wait 

It pulled away then not 30 seconds later another pulled in , empty , the last 15 got on , all found a seat and we followed the full bus all the way back  full of unhappy passengers once they spotted it

The Readly app enables me to read magazines I wouldn't ever spend actual money on, or even risk being seen reading in WH Smith, such as the 'How It Works Book of Amazing Vehicles'.

The grin is the illustration below from an article on monster trucks. The diagram is explaining how a monster truck performs a 10m high jump off of a ramp and lands on some cars.

The two cars pictured are two models widely known for being very popular with Cletus Spuckler, country & western singers, and NASCAR drivers - if you haven't already guessed, obviously the facelifted Mk1 Renault Megane and an early Citroen ZX.

What door handles? The only door handles visible are on the renner. I'm arguing about a cartoon car on the internetz; as you were.

 

I see Stevie Wonder is moonlighting as a brickie.

It's the rustic look  it's meant to give the impression that they have used handmade bricks.

 

Who am I kidding, it's just shit brickwork, my last house, built by Beazer Homes, used to annoy me as you could see that they had not mixed the different packs of bricks, so you had slightly varying bands as they had worked up the wall. I think Beazer were taken over by Persimmon, they should have stuck to printing Comics

Obviously crims getting away with theft isn't a grin, but if you can escape the police in a standard moggy you deserve some recognition.

I saw this on TV. At 2.40 he gives a cheeky little beep as he gets away.

That poor pickup must've been on its knees 1640kg overloaded 

Trip to court I think

Someone who doesn't want the copyright stasi to weigh in and spoil the fun; doing like that confounds their ability to detect it automatically.

As it was presumably someone’s classic, stolen and wrecked for a joy ride, I’d say what they deserve is their heads kicked in 

[Joey spud]

Meanwhile at a well known ''Fast Fit'' near Bexhill another couple of torque wrenches have been left on wheel nuts then reversed out the fitting bay...

I had only popped a new ratchet kit in this one six months back.

It would be a shame to toss it away so i cut the rough end off and welded it shut.

Perfect now for further abuse with a lengh of tubing slid over the handle or maybe twatting with a hammer.

No.  They deserve a short spell in a prison cell,  followed by 10 years of community service.  

Violence is too good for them.

I can imagine 2 old giffers in that Moggy Minor just out for a laugh and having a great time.  Like Jack and Victor from Still Game.

Why do traffic cops have to give directions 3 times - 'LEFT LEFT LEFT', then 'RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT'.  It sounds like some form of Tourettes.  Makes you wonder what everyday conversation at home must be like - 'Ok luv, I'm just going round to the SHOP SHOP SHOP for some MILK MILK MILK'.  Bedroom conversation must be a bit strange too, full and clear directions and descriptions (X3) as events occur, best not think about it.

cant find it in the comment sections of that video, but I know in maybe one of the other videos of it (or maybe later on in that episode after the guy stopped filming his telly)

but I  know its mentioned that the Moggie was found abandoned undamaged or such later on, so I do believe it does have a happy ending  

so dont worry you get to enjoy watch someone run away from the police in a Morris minor without the guilt of knowing someones lost their pride and joy

and yes I do find it highly amusing, I bet the other officers at the station never let those officers live it down!

I also always find it amusing how the Moggie happily glides over all the bumps while the poor officers in the modern car have to slow right down to avoid shattering their suspension and their poor spines!

LOL

I think thats done just so the directions are crystal clear over even a dodgy radio connection or such

Went on Talktalk site to complain about no Internet. Seems I wasn't the first. Not good that its been showing for hours.

I found out today that a president of a Comunidad autónoma here in Spain rides around in a Citroën  C6. It seems to work well when you have a fleet of mechanics to look after them😉
