People that use numbers for cars and presume we all know what their talking about, particularly German cars.
It seems to happen with Japanese cars too. Is it that hard to write the full name of the model?Now do a google image search on "EP3" - it's one of those.
I tend to just call it a Civic on the internet because I don't care if people picture the right one.
If it's a marque I'm familiar with; e.g. BMW E & F numbers I'm more than happy to use/see them. If it's one I have no interest or knowledge of it's frustrating because I have to google EP3 and similar.
"I saw a ridiculously wide e92 m3 just outside southampton on the m3 I think (I've turned into a bit of a sat nav sheep down here), made the arches on my M Coupe look small."
WTF is he talking about?

As a private hire driver my car needs two MOT's a year (one normal and one taxi test) due to the high miles we drive and the fact it's carrying passengers.
Mine failed (13 plate) because "The spare wheel is not of the same type fitted to the vehicle"
It has a space saver as standard but I have to stick a proper size one in the boot for the MOT even though it's not left in the back as I'll not get any luggage in! The council know this.
wkers.
So now I have to borrow one of a car rendering that car unroadworthy.
If you bought a vehicle suitable for Private Hire the PCO wouldn't have this issue with your choice Mine failed (13 plate) because "The spare wheel is not of the same type fitted to the vehicle"

Corden posh?
Are you completely insane?
Agreed. Unfortunately many people associate money and success with "poshness" or belonging to a higher class. That annoys me, but with good reason. Money can buy material things, but to have money it seems that many trade it for good manners and decorum.Are you completely insane?

You'd think eh.
If you've thought of the reasoning behind their requirement you may have to concede that a space saver isn't suitable. It's a completely pointless rule that is so typical in councils all over the country.
I had a rather rude letter with a follow up phone call from the licensing department about my website mentioning "Taxi", which I'm not and they prohibit any mention of it on any literature I may produce, as I'm private hire - pre-book only.
The text in question was;
Q. Are you a taxi?
A. No. We are private hire
They said remove it or we'll suspended your licence with immediate effect.
