Idiot gets car seized

"A COCKY driver amused by a fellow motorist’s dealings with the police was himself apprehended after he was found to also be driving illegally.

Essex Police’s Operational Support Group found an uninsured car being driven otherwise in accordance with a licence in Clacton on Friday.

After seizing the vehicle and while loading it onto a recovery truck, a passing motorist tickled by the situation, beeped his horn and waved at the officers.

After carrying out checks on their vehicle the policing team discovered it was also being driven with no insurance and otherwise in accordance with a licence.

The officers subsequently pulled the vehicle over before also seizing it."

What a tragedy.*

Just realised I've completed 10000 miles in the Micra. That's some light use- the BX did 5000 during the summer alone! I've only had to replace 5 or so small items during that time and it's always returned me over 40MPG. It's a keeper.

Over the new year period i met up with my two best mates, one lives in london now so we maybe catch up twice a year in person if we can all get together.

We hopped in my car, went and found something to eat like we used to do well over a decade ago, id drive us all over the place back then. Now life has changed for us all, some ups and downs and life experiences / circumstances do change us even if we like it or not.  A short while after our jolly out i discovered something that should remind us that some stuff is just ingrained in the DNA of a man that just never changes no matter how much money we have, where we live or how old we get.

To be fair, that 'a' was pretty important. Even I knew that 'nosh' is different to 'a nosh'. Is noshing sacred? 😃

Kind of ironic, given how many grammatical mistakes are in those streams of bile. Both get a mention in his book Anger Management, which ought perhaps to have been released under its working title of How I'm a fuzzy little shithead.

The new new new alternator for the BX was delivered today after having it posted yesterday. That's an impressive turnaround!

1971 Range Rover in at work. When these halfshafts were drop forged my Father and brother were working for the company that made them, OMES Faulkner Ltd in Colnbrook Bucks. My brother was an apprentice then having started in 1970, my Father started working for Faulkners in Barnes after WWII and I was an apprentice in 1981 until my Father and I were made redundant in 1983, my brother had moved to Wilkinson Match by then. The company is long gone now and all the technology absorbed, so many forgings produced for many industries and famous names.

M6 north bound today , some twat in a black bmw/audi/clone type car nearly side swiped me as I indicated to move into the middle lane .

I saw him coming on my last glance and aborted the change and held my line  , he flew past on his way to a gap in the traffic for the Blackpool turn just off on my  nearside..

and 40 tons of artic filled the gap just as he approached it  ,

forcing him to dodge up the M6 looking for a gap as his options slowly ebbed away due to a chain of lorries blocking the lane off ...

we fucking cried with laughter ......

M6 East Bound Today. From Spaghetti Junction to the M42/M6 Toll junction. 

Some bastard in a white Citroen C1 was using all the lanes to under take then over take, then under take.  Traffic was moving at a steady 60 to 65 mph across 3 lanes and this prick was tracekkung at 75 to 90 mph. 

Was it you ?
