I went up to the car lot yesterday to be greeted with the sight of a yaris carefully reversing out of the drivers door of a Vantage (dk blue, now best avoided) a guy stratching his head, and 2 police cars, one of which didnt look too happy.

Nor, in fairness, did the owner of the aforementioned Aston.

Not quite sure how he managed it to be honest, it was a good 10 feet from the side of the road, up a high kerb on a hardstanding, so if nothing else, at least Yaris man was determined.

Edited for spelling- in a hurry to get home and have (no doubt) a row with the maintenance company.

This will be entitled- I dont care what you assure me, water should not piss through the ceiling around the light fitting.

This will later change to something i cant even bring myself to put into text.

I believe that TAM Engineering have the Vector. They did have it last year and some chap was going to fix it up. It was flooded one from the USA and needed a compelte interior etc. I asked for a price but nothing came of it.

Incidentally, TAM Engineering have a shedload of cars for sale which owners have not paid them for the work on. Worth a butchers.

Very nearly got caught by that a few days after it was put in as well, thankfully the Cayenne in front of me knew it was there and I guessed why he was braking.
God know how many people it's nabbed... reckon the flashbulb will need to be replaced soon!

I had spotted it on the way out to golf, but forgot as was on autopilot and rushing to get to a brunch.

80 kph is a stupidly low limit on that road.

The only upside is that the fine isn't showing yet, fingers crossed.

Yes, I have been done by that camera. Luckily I was in the wifes car!! So she can pay the fine this time after getting a number of parking tickets on mine.
