In the grand scheme of things I'd take a more pragmatic approach, especially considering the police don't exactly have a lot of spare time right now. Call 101 and report it. You have enough detail there, you can say that footage is available if they want it. Ask that someone pops round and has a chat with the guy instead. They may well put the fear of god into him, plus see the state of his car and then advise him not to drive until fixed. For some people, especially older ones, having a uniform tell you you're in the wrong can be enough to make them realise they need to sort themselves out.

Spoiler on, louvres off

Pics will come when everything is done, still got a bit more tidying up to do yet as I need to fab some supporting brackets next week, hopefully done by Weds

Didn't even realise TV was an option on these! Was it a manual one you drove Exec? How did you find it apart from pulling well and having a cool armrest? I've been busy this weekend on mine. Finally picked it up yesterday and spent the afternoon along with this morning cutting, drilling, grinding and bolting things in, on and to it... Feels good to have a successful day spannering, doesn't happen very often

Were there actually any cars there, or just three slightly try-hard scrubbers?

It will be, when we know what the question is. Jeez, this is really hard work!

who should be the judge of that ? Teachers, obviously. They already set the levels for the kids, makes sense for them to carry that through.

So only fine the parents if the kid is a waster? Yeah, basically. Put the effort in and thou shalt be rewarded, and all that. Seems the fairest way.

But why?

If your kid is thick then you don't have the right to take them out in term time, they need all the help they can get. If they're doing well and are capable of catching up then I say go for it.

So where's the proof that leaving will be better? I've seen precisely zero facts from that side, other than ifs, coulds and maybes.

You mean the one that men stand there and gaze carefully at for at least two mins, nod and murmur agreement under their breath, then make a comment about how they know see why it drove like it did and how they can see why it'll drive so much better now, despite not having a clue what 90% of the numbers actually mean?

It's a good point, is there any?

Everyone will tell you to go with a place that uses a Hunter machine. They're wrong. A bloke with string can be just as accurate as a guy with a Hunter, it all depends on the user. Must be somewhere local to you that someone on here can recommend?

We get out more than we pay in, it's just not a direct figure. Col has made that point time and time again in this thread, in the most eloquent way I've seen anywhere on the internets. As I said earlier, any extra money we may or may not get from leaving wouldn't go towards anything other than paying off our debts. NHS, roads, education etc won't see a penny. And you do realise that we get the same thing from the countries you mention as we do from the EU, in terms of money in to money out? We pay them £10Bn in aid (or whatever the figure is), they then make sure their companies place orders in the UK for the value of £20Bn. That's how the world works, so if we stopped all that aid then we'd be stuffing ourselves. Politics has changed so much these days, we'll never see another Thatcher or Churchill again. You talk about a strong leader, well I'd argue the closest to that anywhere right now in the developed world would be Trump if he gets in: Is that what you want? Politics is far more subtle, you can't just bowl in and demand everything without making concessions. It's naive to think otherwise.

Get a geo done. But yes, toe settings can cause this and yes, it can be done for handling purposes. Kyle is also spot-on when he asks about it being lowered.

So how do we negotiate a better deal if everyone is too lazy, and they'll just keep things the way they are? I don't mean to be deliberately obtuse (for a change), it just looks like a contradiction.

You can mock, but that literally was me back in the day. Exodus man, it was all about the Exodus raves! With the original crew of course. Jeez, those were the days. Mashed out of our eyes, dancing all night, coming down as the sun rose. Excellent times.

So if everything will stay the same, why spend the money to leave?

Depends if you like holidays or not No-one buys British just for the sake of it any more, not when a lot of our stuff is overpriced tat. If you're going to buy tat, might as well buy cheap tat. I like the theory of buying British, but I can't remember the last time I did on purpose.

Hang on, you can't claim a load of rubbish and then link to an article from the Daily Express!!

You know who he is though, right? That's like saying the Queen is just an old lady with a nice line in jewellery.

I'll be honest, that first pic is really not what I expected
