Guest Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Nice post Benjamin. When I moved here I did several trips.I bought a 2litre Cortina for £40 in Poets Corner,drove it to Tipperary full of my records. Drove it to Tallaght in Dublin at Supermacs Burger joint- left the keys in and hopped a cab to the Airport.. I'd say it was there only twenty minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I remember my old Vauxhall Chevette. KRP 822Y. So easy to do work on it. I also had an Austin 1300 MON 252F It had Morris hubcaps, a Wolsey radiator and parts from other marques. Sadly the gearbox gave up so it had to go. Lovely car until then.

FLY2 10,109 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Saw a chavvy black hatchback today with blacked out windows and both number plates seemingly sprayed with what looked like Matt black paint. Must be illegal surely. I couldn't read it, and I drove past it ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,498 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Another variation on that theme which I've seen a few times........small pieces of masking tape stuck across parts of the letters & numbers to break up the shape of the characters. I don't know if it actually does confuse the cameras. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I'm sure it must. It's obviously done with an ulterior motive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim in the North East 200 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 First car was a Morris Minor Traveller OVO920F. Had been part of a TV repair firms fleet that their mechanic bought for himself. I bought it from him for £350 in 1974 with 79,000 on the clock. Part exed it 3 years later with 109,000 and a sunshine floor. Still felt a criminal getting rid of it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Spotted this parked in JTF car park yesterday, Lisa must think all the Police in Hucknall just sit outside that kebab shop on Main street? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,535 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I think that the police are only likely to take action against that as a totting up offence when or if doing something more seriously wrong. It should of course fail its MOT if it qualifies for one yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 They seem to be cracking down a bit more recently as they say their ANPR cameras can't read plates like that properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
