Private eyes listing of archer’s misdemeanours from 1999…

Saw the new BMW 3 series is out.

 

I also saw a Mitsubishi Carisma

my eyes are not what they were.

This could go in the lazy spotter thread but I think it's too good for that.

I'm in Košice in eastern Slovakia about fifty miles from the Ukrainian border and I stumble across this. 

When I see them out this way I always wonder what the dealer network was like and where they get spares but it always cheers me up to see them. 

Also this has black sills so it's a Cowley car. Even more special.

Edinburgh must be the richest city in the world. Can’t think of anywhere else with a spare suspension bridge just for buses and  Lycra enthusiasts.

Thank you v much. I obviously knew he was dodgy but not that he surely should have been incarcerated many, many more times.

I think he was just an unlucky (i.e. he got caught) example of a certain-type-of-person back in the Thatcher years. Fine line between businessman and villain sometimes decided by a jury
