Hey, how comes I can't see this lad's pics, but if I quote, they appear in preview?

Very odd! (the quoting loads of text rather than pictures unless in preview).Car is an Armstrong Siddeley Lancaster.

You can forget Manchester, London, Glasgow and Aberdeen then.My permit is £80 per year for the right to park on my street during the day, there is no guarantee of a space.

we have numbered bays ... so if someone parks in it they get their car lifted, used to only clamp you but the clampers kept getting beat up so now they cut out the middle man and just lift the car

If i move any place, it would have to be a quiet location .. kind of farm style, which no doubt would cost quite abit.I just couldn't handle the everyday rush of places like London.I only stayed there for two days, and it was "okay" , i just didn't feel comfortable.But well done to you guys for paying them crazy amounts. You should not have to pay Road Tax.But i'm not leader of this crazy country.
