rob88h Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The Fenlander that’s floated around a few members of AutoShite is for sale in a FB group.

I totally agree it's a ballache and the implementation isn't good, but as an old car nut and also human being, I love the benefits in health that it brings to my family and I'm sure so do the 4 million other people who live within the zone. So I guess what I'd love to hear rather than the usual "fuck Khan" stuff is how it could be better implemented? Probably one for the many ULEZ threads rather than derailing this one!

Guilty 🤣 I hear you. I used to cycle through central London 2005-11. The air is horrible. Something had to be done. Same is true in many other places. I'm lucky in that I don't live in a ULEZ area and am unlikely to. I think a lot of us can actually benefit from those non-compliant cars being sold off from London and elsewhere. So I see it as an opportunity, not a problem. This is progress. We can cling to the old ways (indeed we are, on an old fashioned forum) but it's not too much to ask that people can breathe clean air.

Soundwave Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 So, here's a slightly grotty Escort... ... with a radio that's apparently having some sort of crisis and is screaming into the void. I assume the radio is screaming because it's met the tit who's selling it. A little gem from the description: Quote no offers £550 not £500 would rather scrap it Yeah, scrap it for £300 less than the asking price for the sake of £50. That'll learn 'em! I'm all for staying firm on price, but he's just sounding like a bit of a twat.https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/925186464812614 DSdriver, Bamboocarman, somewhatfoolish and 5 others 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of situation though, my opinion of the concept remains unchanged. As for your Vespa thread, I remember it now. It looks a real honey. Good work on the GTS 250 too - what a barg.

Dick Longbridge Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 When did the mk5 vans appear? The earliest Mk5 saloons and hatches were on H plates from what I remember but I reckon the van came slightly later. J plate must be a pretty early survivor regardless.
