It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

Years ago I bought an A60 with what turned out to be a bent MoT from a bent policeman. Since I already had one that I was scrapping because of rust, I swapped the wheels, brakes and much else and ran it for a year. Next year I took it back to the MoT garage. "No I'm sorry - can't do it" (I forget the actual excuse). That's a pity, says I, you did it last year. "Oh well that's OK then, leave it with me". End of the day it had a nice new certificate and a bit of biscuit tin (literally) welded underneath. So I kept it for another year and even managed to SELL it (a first for me - my cars up till then always went for scrap). Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.
