Swapping cars. Has this been covered yet?
Swapping cars is a bit council ? 
My wife’s cousin, passed his test at 34 and his father bought him a car Fiat Punto - think it was about a 14plate, but was pretty immaculate ... he then swapped it a couple of months later for a 2008 Vectra C estate ... couple of months again later for a knackered 2000 318 cab
I questioned him on the logic of essentially giving away a reasonable car for free in exchange for a worse one, he told me that his ‘mates’ treat their cars as a pool (even though their insurance isn’t as such if at all). Ah great I respond, so you can swap the knackered 318 cab for your decent punto again - oh no, that’s not the case, it’s been moved on again
It’s an idiots pursuit.
As an aside he lost his license for drink driving within 12mths so it’s academic in this case now and the police impounded the BMW after ending up on its side on a roundabout in the middle of the night - for clarity he’s a f

Swapping cars is a bit council ? Of course, what the idiots fail to realise/acknowledge, is that everyone loses, as changing cars comes with an inherent cost too.

Yep. I’ve seen those swap ads and I think it’s an attempt to fleece the other person by getting yourself a much better car.
I also wondered if it could circumvent some selling laws by having no exchange of cash but I don’t know so it was just idle wondering
The advertisers have no cash or access to any hence the swap. I also wondered if it could circumvent some selling laws by having no exchange of cash but I don’t know so it was just idle wondering
If they are truly council then the car will have a log book loan on it, or is running around on stolen wheels and other parts and has become too hot.

There's a new subset of Council which has, I've noted, been growing of late: people with their hood up whilst driving.
Some people have always done it. Scaffolders, for example.
But anyone who chooses to beep, flash or in anyway chastise or remonstrate with a scaffolding truck has serious issues with life preservation. The crews are special breed of non-human monster and should always be given a courteously wide berth.
Then, the practice spread to builders. Generation snowflake has brought with it young people incapable of a day's work. Which means that they are permanently tired before and after their shift, and take to sleeping their life away inside the confines of a hood. Harmless to society though.
Which leaves the new tribe. People in normal cars (or vans) but going about normal lives. But with their hood up. And these folk really are the angriest, scummiest, most disrespectful and aggressive, pus- and hate-filled lesions on society. Hanging, my pedigree chums, is too good for 'em!

I remember selling my 2014 Civic, 15k miles, under warranty. Looking for around 10k. Various swap offers received, including for an 80s Escort or something. Who even thinks that someone selling a 2014 Civic would accept that offer?
