I bet THAT was a party you won't forget any day soon!

I don't see why you can't simply make the brackets to fit the mattock head yourself, or have them made. If you have a vice it shouldn't be too hard to bend one using aluminium sheet. Get some cardboard(corn flake box or something similar) and make it out of that. Once you have worked out the...

When i built my kitcar i used enough of the donor car to qualify to use that reg number but before i could register it i had to get it inspected with a 'super MOT' at a DVLA test station. I had to insure it using the chassis number. Once it passed the inspection i was officially given the reg...

If it's a turbo charged engine then it probably won't be too bad. If no turbo then just wait for the blue lights flashing behind you...

Well if you think about it, which one would be easier to grab? The legal one parked at the address DVLA have, or the stolen one?

Nah, that magazine folded a year or so ago, but i hear they have a Youtube channel now. Not sure they be interested in this though.

"Could be arsed to go and see it" you mean? 🤣

Oh i've had those sort of notes before, but from a local scrapyard. At least they used their own business cards...

If you were in Japan and not Netherlands i'd suspect those marks meant some of the erm, iffy Japanese videos i've watched were based on real living things 😁

Maybe if you'd asked me twenty or so years ago when they lived there, but not now, other than saying if they could claim it, they did!

I think there are many people who will only be happy when Chump is in rigueur mortice! (that's either stiff as a board or behind a locked cell door)

Oh they were quite proud of the fact that they didn't work and claimed for everything!

Yes, but have you never gone onto a forum looking for an answer to a question and seen person A say one thing and person B say the complete opposite and then person C claim they are BOTH wrong then person D agree with C except that C is wrong as well and then the next sixtythree pages are full...

I tend to fill things up with what the manufacturer states should go in it. I figure they should know better than some bloke 'down the pub/end of our street/local garage/internet experts' etc

But it isn't just £118 a week is it. That's just the start, something to get your foot through the door of claiming for everything else... Those neighbours of mine claimed for everything!

Oh i get angry at many sorts of people. Sometimes it's the only thing that gets me up in the morning! Personally, i don't know ANYONE who was genuinely mis-sold PPI, but many who made a claim. I got fed up with letters asking me to forward my details if i couldn't remember them and they'd do the...

I'd describe them as lazy scroungers! (PC description...) The old man wasn't right in the head either. We used to get a lot of learner drivers stopping to perform manoeuvres along our road. They would sometimes stop by the curb to see how close they could park? They would often stop alongside...

I actually did know three people who preferred to sign on rather than work for a living. They lived on the corner of my road. The old man and his two late twenties daughters, they never worked a day in the five or six years they lived there. They claimed every benefit available.

I don't know what either rate is. Haven't claimed the former for many years and i'm paid well above minimum wage. Just repeated what i read. edit Could it be including other benefits you can get if long term sick? They didn't mean being off work for a week or two...

Thanks. I'm still undecided... I've got an overdrive to fit. I'm hoping the fifth gear will take consumption down to around 28 mpg ;)
