First time he has ever made me smile! I`m fairy sure I`ve seen a white Renault 5 Mk2 on his drive, behind him, in recent (within 2 years) news interviews too.

uk_senator Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 He just got out of the Previa on ITV news, looked like he was in London.. I wonder what his stance on the ULEZ is.. Although the charge can probably be put on their expenses, knowing that lot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(fingers crossed) Ooh an Iveco, I hope the air-con/ventilation system in the back is as efficient as the rest of it. Not a fan of Boris, his carefully caricatured, amiable buffoon, persona is wearing very thin these days, not that he would give a moment's thought to what I think as I'm a pleb in no position to to do him any favours.

reb Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I delivered a big order to a very posh house hotel earlier this week, the sort that a week of my wages might get you a room in the quiet season, I very much wanted to take a photo of the Volvo in front of the big steps as it looked in its element. Unfortunately there was a member of staff standing by the door and I couldn't ascertain how asking if it was ok would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling Boris, french, and small is as accurate as anything that ever came out of his mouth. But shite? Yes. On the other hand, calling any AX shite is like saying that Brexit is going well for Trees Are May. Definately French and Small. But shite? Not usually.

No need to get offended Podsta, I meant it in an affectionate way... Its an 80`s Renault, its "shite" as are all mainstream 80`s cars, going by the Autoshite definition..

Vince70 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I see this old standard K plate E36 parked up regularly on a drive in the better part of Bexhill and it says one owner old money to me. brownnova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see a spanking new Range Rover in front of the stately home, thats new money. Too right. I have previously worked for quite a few posh people including; an earl worth £30,000000-1988 Subaru 1800 GLX, his son- 1989 Mitsubishi Shogun, a former Sheriff of Bristol- 1993 Renault Espace diesel, an owner of a Repton designed country park and lodge- 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser VX.... Nothing shouts old money like an elderly shite car, to be driven in your grandfather's hand-me-down tweed jacket and hand made, thrice resoled boots.

jonny69 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Not a house, but at the Monaco Grand Prix a couple of years ago I spotted some folks loading booze onto my a pretty big yacht out of this bashed up €500 Renault. brownnova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I love the Rover 800 with the ‘MAO’ number plate. For a moment I thought it might be John McDonnell’s, but I don’t think he’d have a partner with a Range Rover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the systems in the Peak are horizontal so it's usually called caving as opposed to the Dales where you'd find potholing more often used.
