You'll be needing some calming words when it all goes back in! Call me!

PPI one thing. Alleged provenance another. I'm reading the superb Forger's Tale book and with cars I'd be wary of anything owned by an elderly person (for various reasons , nothing to do with the Sabbath) or belonging to some celebrity (for many reasons) or even sitting in a collection for years. The expression you can't polish a turd (except on Mythbusters) was never truer than in the used car business.But now that patina adds value , beware fake wear & tear!

Does unwitting consumption of fruit fly and cabbage larvae still grant you a pass to vegetarian nirvana?

A car either has good bones or bad bones. But on every carcass there are cheap cuts of meat and expensive ones. With exotics and classics, make sure you can afford eye fillet from time to time, otherwise stick to burgers.

Never had one done. I'm the sort of punk that just feels lucky. Know your subject or ask someone who does.

I'm 55 but don't hold back from anything I did when I was 18, not much has changed. Life is about choices and a bit of luck. Get through the angry 40s and life becomes much better. Watched an ABC doco couple of nights ago - guy took up sprinting aged 95 , loving life , travelling the world , also looking online for love. good on him. And yes , the 100m world final was full of other 95-100 year olds. Live fast , die young or old . Whatever!

I see you're already in survival mode Doesn't take much for civilised people to go feral. Saw it once when they cut a Telstra cable at Melbourne airport. Angry pensioners everywhere, people fightin' fer taxis. The strong and fit survive. And the preppers, for a few weeks.

I bought the leather one. Excellent fit and quality. https://www.only944.com/partscatalog/only/shiftercovers/82-85/

Also. the pollution effect of aircraft and big boats is dispersed into the global atmosphere , out of sight of the general public, who have greater concerns it seems. If you live in London , Delhi or Beijing in summer or winter or in between you might just see matters differently. I choke on the fumes of Melbourne & Sydney , but people who live there seem to have lungs which have adapted . They won't be pink though! Yes , politicians play politics and I don't trust any of them. And pollution won't effect me in the next century. But having gone down the breeding route , I do care about any steps to improve the outcomes for my offspring. Now I'm off to look at pictures of puppies and cars. But not dirty diesels.

No-one can argue that pollution is good for humans. No-one likes "privileges" taken away. My view is slightly biased by the thousands of corpses and terminally diseased organs I have encountered . Most people deny their mortality.

This issue has the capacity to cause quite a few thrombos ; we could do our own version

I have the same model and replaced the boot (excellent aftermarket one) with the orientation as you have indicated (thin at the back)

Yeah but no butt https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/855691/car-tax-fine-diesel-petrol-London-UK-toxin-pollution “In London over 9,000 Londoners die each year because of the poor quality air. “There are children in parts of London whose lungs are under developed and there are 438 school in areas where the are is illegal." Taxes will happen here , as they have with death sticks ciggies. Especially in clean green Tassy!

I overhead Jason White saying he just about crapped himself. And he was driving!
