have you changed your user name ive been up since 7.30 not really doing much today its too wet and windy good luck to your son getting in the army yep new name as have a capri Have you still got the granny limo?

VERY good point. It's the same with Mk1 transits. BUT, even when they are wheeling me off to the home, I couldn't bear to be parted from ours.

Noooo! that's bad news. Can't tell you how many times I have put the cover back on our (unfinished) Mk1 transit, and I had to go out in the driving rain and try to wash the Mk1 amby, cos I am out in her tomorrow!

Ah, I remember the smoke city bus! Happy days! I seem to remember it was sold and the enthusiast was planning to re-raise the roof !

You mean the taxi? I know somebody who has a 2004 duratorque in a 69 Mk1 transit, that's tax and LEZ exempt too.

The only thing I don't like is the mirrors.

yeah, specially in London, just to give Ken a treat!

So why has there not been any steps to find the car? It's a long shot to just come across it on the road, I would have thought the first step would be to go to the reg'd address, to find if it was there. Like i said, if it wasn't owned by the person who was fined the law can't penalise a third party. IF this was true, it would be a risky business buying any used car! Even a bog standard mondeo can be driven dangerously.....

Bleedin ell! That's nice....... Just down the road from me (well quite a long way, in fact a ferry ride, if you are an OSF thief). Wonder what the reserve is?

Shite! How much were they brand new???

The way I see it, here are the options. 1, buy a new truck, and add to the pollution it takes to make the thing, do this every 4 years so the planet has no respite from the factory's emmisions, even if the truck never turns a wheel it's already poluted the planet. 2, buy a tax exempt truck and fit a nice 80s cargo engine, tax exempt is exempt from the LEZ 3, register your truck in holland 4, buy a fleet of bicycle rickshaws or horse and carts 5,convert to petrol, I am sure there are a few 16L yank engines out there!! Would a 16L engine really use £200 of fuel a day more than a diesel? Bear in mind this will apply to all diesel commercial vehicles over 2005 kg by 2010, so that's all transit sized vans, but not car derived ones. This is not going to go away, no matter who gets votedn in. It shouldn't have been let in in the first place. Do you knwo anybody who voted for this?

watcha on about? Football?

It's a really early prototype, I will be insuring it for £13 million of course and it won't be sitting on my drive when it's done, I will be garaging it in the bank vault!

Thanks, I am already 6 years over the 16 year average for accidents.... No comments about the women driver thing then? Oh, and back in 1873, Mk1 transit with less than 6,000 miles on it, driver fell asleep at the wheel and hit a tipper truck, taking out the passenger wing to the chassis Driver was - a bloke...... Mind you he might have done us a favour, cos it sitting on our drive now awaiting the damage to be repaired, 35 years on.

I find it hard to believe, even if the car isn't at the registered addresss, that somebody hasn't been there to impound the car if it's true it's 'been looked out for'. Have to agree with bortaf on this one, they wouldn't wait to catch it on the street, unless it's a case of finding you mate at the wheel. In which case, if the police spot the car with him in it, but with 'new' plates, he will be in even more trouble! If I was him, I would 'sell' it to his mum or summat, they can't take a 3rd party's property.

.........if you can get superlights that fit a transit!

Good luck, hope you will be back in no time, though i know time will drag in hospital! How do these rich types have time to go for voluntary plastic surgery??

Nice fez, but sorry I prefer the escort.

No parking problems with that then! Just park on top of you average plastic fantastic if they have all the spaces!

I think you did the right thing being paranoid, I would be in your situation. Pass the details on to the police, if the owner is law abiding he's got nothing to hide.

Amount of women drivers I have had working for me - 2. Amount of accidents they have had - 0 Amount of men I have had working for me - 20 Amount of accidents they have had - 100s Most serious accident we have ever had - artic driver fell asleep at the wheel, wiped out a luton and left the driver and passenger in hospital for 6 weeks Diver was - a bloke Second most serious accident we had - BMW driver tried to turn right though the transit's wing Driver was - a bloke Bloke driving slowly towards me in a side road, oggling girls on the pavement my side of the road, wipes out transit's driver's wing. Driver was - a bloke. No accidents to my name in 22 years. Clean license, no points, even for speed cameras. Nuff said?

<<<< cant stand young kids full stop Er well I have to agree with you there. Sorry parents. Don't have any, don't want any (apart for the vans, they are our kids)

You are about 5 years too late on that one!

They came with it, it's original, so are the Mk2s.....

The Mk1 amby is going to be in Holby City, shooting on tuesday. Either the Art Director has had a brainstorm or it's a flashback!
