Where have i moaned? I got pulled over once (as stated above) in 12 years. The two police officers were super cool. I explained the reason, then they spent 20 mins discussing between themselves where it could go without blocking the radiator and in their words, not looking st.

I have zero trouble with the police and the only attention i get from them is when they actually want to know more about it.
I would imagine that he was referring to the OP's illegally bodged number plate, rather than your cooling issues.

This is about legal requirements on a car. It's the basics.

It's like when someone comes on here after being busted speeding on a motorway and expects sympathy from all.

It's not rocket science driving quickly in a straight line. Yet anyone who points this out is called BRAKE.

I imagine people who say 'you aren't a car enthusiast' are the same people who stand on industrial estates with cars or dark carparks with strangers making meaningless small talk.

Not really. Number plate is non endorsable so ranks pretty low on the 'legal' requirements, plus no one has actually asked for sympathy on this thread, the self imposed PH police just like to enforce internet justice!

Hold on...you mean people who like cars actually meet up in real life to turn strangers into friends??? Damn...that sounds like a novel concept.
