That's just ignorant in my opinion, its pointless you being there, I ask that everyone has the cameras on in teams meetings and its not an unreasonable request, it shows the person is engaged and not wanking off.

A lady I was seeing to last year had a nice little desk/laptop set up in her bedroom. She pinned me to the bed and rode me like a rocking horse during one teams meeting. It was quite interesting hearing about her company's projected P&L for the last financial year whilst being mounted. Made a change from The Archers or Loose Women in the background.

I tend to use cameras in one to one meetings or if I am leading the meeting, a lot of the ones I have are for dozens of people where input isn't really required, Wednesday I've one which has about 100 people in it, no point everyone putting their camera on for that.

I could listen to him bleat on about local radio, Peterborough and buses for hours on end. I can't imagine for a moment that anyone would be allowed into the DVLA these days.

RayMK Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 @wesacosa Do the other photos show how a Reliant chassis has been used? Bit of an unlikely choice because the configuration of a Reliant chassis is considerably different and I would have thought (without checking) that dimensions would require much hacking about of the body or chassis to make things fit. Not really an Invacar any more after all that. Keeping the registration could be tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really an Invacar any more after all that. Keeping the registration could be tricky. yeah sadly that pair is a bit of a Hot potato, I do feel bad for Chris Young, I think it was him that was somewhat miss-sold the Mk12E in the first place, the seller said to him "oh the ICR can sort it out for you" yeah no, not without a known chassis number! (that being said a DVLA issued chassis number and suitable dating cert would be able to get an age related number, thats a fairly involved process that the ICR is not currently setup to handle) as for the White and blue one you can read about it here https://autoshite.com/topic/32723-lightbulbfuns-invacar-general-ramble-thread-index-on-page-1-survivors-lists-on-pages-24134-adgecutlers-invacar-mk12-restoration-from-page-186-onwards-still-harping-on/page/302/#comment-2715961 I agree that im not sure it should of been registered as an Invacar in the capacity that it was, but thankfully said identity is just on a 2018 record, age related plate its true idenity for the most part has not been touched, so should someone be able to able fabricate a new chassis for it to faithful Mk12B specifications, then its true identity could likely be returned to it Mrs6C and RayMK 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefag Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Speaking as the forum Running Dog Capitalist, the obvious answer is to sell him a set of REV plates and your spare V5.

I thought this was the forum where we/people put paid to the usual top gear nonsense car bollocks. I know people here will defend British leyland for example, and be quick to point out, that a lot of people who talk shit about BL, have never actually driven the vehicle they are talking shit about most of what Jazoli is pretty much bollocks, plenty of Invacars on here, have been daily driven, disabled people did it back in the day for over 50 years and even today, once suitably brought up to shape, its pretty well proven that a Model 70 can get get from point A to point B without any drama at all no its not going to be like wafting down the motorway in a Rolls Royce, buts not like its going to be like the end of the world either case in point, Zel and DW, have done a combined 8000+ miles in their respective Model 70's and even @AdgeCutler has done a couple thousand miles in his Mk12E I think? (certainly well over 1000) even, and thats a Villiers machine! and its mostly been fault free miles, there has been the odd niggle and foible and even breakdown here and there, but nothing that insurmountable or out of the ordinary, and a good number of the actual breakdowns was simply due to wear items not being replaced when they should of been. and Zel certainly uses his for more then just occasional curious jaunts, I have seen him often talk about using TPA for that days errands for example and Dollywobbler would frequently use TWC for doing postal runs for his merch store. I am well aware of their limitations/deficiencies, I dont get why it angers people so much that I do still just prefer to, again, go with what im most happy with, its not like im forcing anyone else here to drive an Invacar against their will LOL again I thought we where above this level of top-gear bullshittery, do you also go around to Reliant Robin, BMC Mini, owners, or Motorcyclists and tell them how all their machines are death traps, and will all fall apart when you go above 15Mph? if you dont understand why I enjoy the Rattle box that is the Model 70, and thus feel the need to talk such bollocks on my thread, then perhaps to be brutally honest, this forum is not for you... I'm absolutely loving TPA's interior now - Zel has transformed her! 😍 I find the whole Invacar history very interesting, and peoples efforts to restore them & keep them going - I don't understand why some people seem to have a problem with that - if you don't like them, don't buy one. It's not rocket science! 🚀 LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
