Bloke in the car was obviously a knob, bloke sitting on the car was a knob for doing so.

Actually, it would be criminal damage: " A person who without lawful excuse destroys or damages any property belonging to another intending to destroy or damage any such property or being reckless as to whether any such property would be destroyed or damaged shall be guilty of an offence." It would be reckless to wrap it up without consulting the owner or taking precautions to protect the paint, i.e. cleaning it first. Same as how you can be done for assault without actually touching anyone, just the thought that you might be hit is enough.

Put it this way, the only people who can answer is the insurer, anything else is guesswork. In theory it should lapse immediately, however as above it's up to the insurer how they choose to handle it. Not contacting them is not an option, as if the named driver is driving around uninsured that's a much much bigger problem than having to take out a new policy. What would happen if they crashed into the proverbial bus stop of kids? The financial implications alone would not be worth the hassle, never mind the legal side of things.

I'd be amazed if my own tyres didn't have similar cracks forming in tbh. Unless they're very pronounced and large enough you can get a coin in them, it's nothing to be worried about at all However, I would be interested to hear Michelin's response on this, they're normally pretty good so no harm in giving them a shout. Also, 20k miles from a set of rears is very impressive, this is why I keep banging on about MPSS being the overall cheapest option when picking tyres.

Update needed plz @HEADPHONES kthx

Gods was a great game, back in the day. So plural, I guess. If you're going to make sh*t up, might as well make a lot of sh*t up! And I think you're confusing a cheese toastie (or a toasted cheese) with cheese on toast. The former never has L&P, the latter can do but it depends on mood: Sometimes I just like a little salt & pepper on a toasted cheese.

Who doesn't prefer a cheese toastie?! Food of the gods.

It's more likely I'll find a talking jam sandwich with a Welsh accent in the next week than ever seeing an apocalypse or second coming.

Well, is this not the point? Every single scripture/book/elder scroll ever made is open to conjecture, which means none of them can ever be taken seriously. If you believed in what was written about yesterday, and I respect that you did, I don’t understand how you can still have faith when everything completely fails to come to pass. Everything.

Ah fair dos matey, didn't realise you had them on your Zed as well. Must be getting old and losing my mind

Working with young people. Not tiny kids who can't string a sentence together, but from say the ages of 8-18. Helping the more troubled ones, whether that's from a background of poverty or just because they're a typical angry teen, to become a decent human being. I suspect that's an incredibly rewarding thing to do, it just doesn't pay enough to be a true goal in regular life. Or teach learner drivers how to drive for fun, and the basics of car physics so that when they pass their test they can go for a hoon but have some idea of what's going to happen. Truth is I've looked into this, but I struggle to make a business case for it. Lottery win would sort that out though.

From someone who has been there and done the Tredwear thing, don't do it unless you're 100% sure of the lettering and 100% sure you're never ever ever ever going to take them off again. Also be prepared for them to look grubby after 100 miles and then never regain their shine no matter what you do. They do look cool though, I must admit. Well, dependant on what they actually say of course.

Tbh Yoko would’ve been asked to supply a tyre for the test, and they chose not to. Only they know why.

Nope, and probably rightly so. They're a bit track-biased than the others, this is a road tyre test and although the AD08R are brilliant, I think they'd fall far behind on the wet tests and would get an unfavourable score because of that.

Trust me, those white seats look gorgeous in the flesh against the blue. Utterly stunning.

Midnight Blue is classier tbh. And I say that as an ex Azure owner. Azure is nice, but having an HR is betterer.

MPS4, not MPSS now

Oh no, I’d keep your appointment with J17 just to waste their time like they waste everyone else’s

I wouldn’t trust any of their branches full stop. Although tbh any dealer you buy from will give a certain amount of risk. It’s all about doing your homework on the car, checking everything is right before you make the deal and even more so upon collection, then contacting them immediately if you spot a problem. When spending £10K on something I wouldn’t have an issue driving to Scotland, if it was the right car. £100 in fuel is nothing at that point

Don’t buy from Junction 17 unless you’re prepared for a fight and are comfortable using the English legal system. Revup is a good engine, 500 more revs than the regular DE which makes it more fun, however approx 5-10% of those engines have serious oil drinking issues. Your call on the risk there.

Oh I forgot about that... *scribbles name from Christmas card list*

Looks like it’s working well fella, although that’s the most boring video I’ve ever watched! Try some nighttime stuff next?

Short answer, yes. Very bad idea. The odd pop here and there is cool, but a road car doing it all the time sounds ridiculous imho.

That's okay mate, they couldn't get any lower
