Seeing how these have risen in value in the last few years, £1800 for this 33000 miler seems like a bargain.

They're not that big inside.

Looks to be in a similar condition to mine, scruffy but saveable. It'll be interesting to see if it makes the £2k being asked for it, I have doubt and hope in equal measure! :wink:

Would you say that's expensive then?, I'd of happily paid £2k for it if it's not rotten, In fact if had sold my 02 i'd most probably would of rung up about it as i really like it! :oops:

A nice car for trips to the golf club, masonic tie and blazer compulsory

Ding, frickin', Dong. My dad had a silver, manual one of these when I was about 9. I liked it lots. In fact, if I didn't already have too many cars, I'd be making serious enquiries about it.

That Beemer reminds me of a Roald Dahl story back in the 1970's.

Posted

Not usually a Beemer fan, but that is a stunner.

What's with the serial killer avatars? I've joined in anyway. :D

Now, now, he only killed one person and that was an accident.

Two. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/29375.stm

 

I was there that day. There were two loud bangs- the helicopter crashing and the sonic boom caused by Edmonds distancing himself from the incident.

Posted

Death now follows the man like a cloud wherever he goes, his very name striking loathing into into the hearts of children and animals.

I can't honestly imagine that being the strapline for his next TV show, although he'll probably make it into an inexplicable gameshow much like 15 mouthbreathers opening boxes and hugging each other.

Death of Michael Lush

 

On 13 November 1986, self-employed hod carrier Michael Lush was killed during his first rehearsal for another live stunt. The stunt, called "Hang 'em High", involved bungee jumping from an exploding box suspended from a 120ft-high crane. The carabiner clip attaching his bungee rope to the crane sprang loose from its eyebolt during the jump. He died instantly of multiple injuries, and the Breakfast Show was scrapped on 15 November after Edmonds resigned.

 

Although the inquest recorded a verdict of misadventure, the jury were informed of several failures on the part of the BBC. Graham Games of the Health and Safety Executive stated that the clip could have been opened by the weight of a bag of sugar, and demonstrated that the clip sprang loose 14 times in 20. David Kirke, a bungee specialist from the Dangerous Sports Club, stated that a similar stunt he had been involved with used three ropes, as opposed to the one rope used by the BBC, and shackles in the place of carabiner clips.[7] There was no safety officer on hand, and no supervision or demonstration from a trained stuntman. There was also no way for Lush to contact the ground once he was in the air, and nobody in the air with him in case he changed his mind; the jury heard that he delayed for almost two minutes before finally being instructed to make the jump. Furthermore, despite advice against it, the BBC production team had insisted on the use of an elasticated bungee rope.

 

The BBC made an ex gratia payment of approximately £120,000 to Lush's family. While the coroner recommended that safety officers be available during any such future stunts, BBC managing director Bill Cotton stated that there would be no future programmes that exposed members of the public to risk.[8] After the inquest, Noel Edmonds was quoted as saying "If I was to continue my career at the BBC I would want to be fully confident about any production team I was provided with."[9] He returned to the BBC's Saturday night lineup two years later, presenting Noel's Saturday Roadshow.
