Time for some marketing

A chap on our local fb does that. Whenever anyone posts about a burglary, 10 minutes later he posts "Sorry to hear that. Did you know I install alarms and cctv ?" Fair play to the guy, he never passes up the chance of a sale

Not Council at all, just good business sense.

Yes good business sense but also playing on people’s fears with very specific timing is indeed council

Certainly wouldn’t call it classy. Similar to ambulance chasing.

Points galore here.

Looks like he didn't fall enough.

Removing EGR valves and DPFs from road vehicles.

The 15 year old motor in front of me was belching out so much soot and black smoke I was getting engine warning lights.

A slight embellishment.

Euro 5 with DPF’s are only just reaching 10 years old, September 2009 intro.

Not understanding emissions regs, council?

[Eng274]

I'm sure early 2008 VAG cars started being fitted with DPFs? Maybe even a bit earlier? My 2006 owners manual mentions them.

[RicksAlfas]

My 2006 Alfa had a DPF.

Did it make the baby go any faster?

Some dumbass part of Australia is trialling the option for motorists to have emoji's on their numberplate.

Not far different from certain states across the pond that allow symbols in their “vanity plates”

Not for bad parenting, just the hassle of having to contact the park
If they are unloading their stuff then you expect a caravan to be clean & not have dodgy drug cylinders in it, cant see how they have failed the kid....apart from going on holiday in a caravan,very council

It isn't clear if they are allowing emojis on the end of the plate after the reg, or them actually being part of the reg. That is a big difference. If I am driving around with 'ABC123' and someone else has 'ABC123' I wouldn't be very happy about it. It kind of ruins the point of a plate too, in that you should be able to read it and remember it.

Also how slack of The Mail for not even using a stock image of cars in Queensland, but of NSW.
