Portland, council.

Although, I suspect the Royal Manor does feature the actual council estate with the most scenic views in the country:

That has to be one of the prisons ?
Light bar on that t4 transporter, council
Yeah, what's that about? I saw a clapped out modded Golf (all the windows were dark tinted) with a light bar fixed to the bonnet?!
On the van I don’t think it’s that bad, blends in with the rack, would be handy for me, working on stuff at night, putting up tents etc

On a golf it is a bit odd looking

How about this

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374592130191?mkcid=16&a...

Shabby Cat S 2015 Astra - yours for a mere £65 a week

Plus they'll be wanting a £400 reservation fee, and two weeks up front


If that goes before you get a chance to rent, its okay as the seller has a fine selection of other leggy CAT cars in stock

To be honest, that’s not council it’s exploiting those with a poor credit history who are desperate for a car.

Council would be spunking the same amount of money on a 15 year old Range Rover Sport and ensuring it had blacked out windows and Ling Long tyres. In white.

Just watched a High Peak Autos vid where he has bought an old RR with the light grilles on front and rear. It also has blacked out windows and a couple of bald tyres. Needless to say, it will be going back to standard, but I guess it won't be a cheap fix.

Been told about some proper council behaviours this morning..

For the past couple of days there haa been some work going on on the verge outside our house - looks to be fibre upgrades (finally). However they left the area coned off and came to finish this morning.

Apparently, one of the workmen after they had finished off decided to crack open the passenger door of their van and promptly urinated all over the pavement!

Now I do have a weak bladder and am not averse to some Al Fresco bladder emptying - but not a) right in front of someone's house when someone is clearly sitting in the window at their desk working, and b) not on a major pavement going into town at 9 30am in the morning.

Not being able to hold it in until they made the toilets just up the road - council.

Nope, just council. Portland is old council as it used to be almost entirely populated by people who could not afford to live on the mainland. It has now become olympicised much like Stratford.

I'd watched that same video, it's what made me think of them smile

That reminds me of Shmee's new "work van" (what work does he do exactly, and why does he have an office and staff?) but in green.

On that note, I went from thinking Shmee was a "posh tt" to "he is ok actually" to "posh annoying tt with boring videos" within about 4 days.

Schmee is one of a few motoring YouTubers that I don't watch. Yes he has a fantastic fleet of cars, but as I grow older I'm more interested in sheds, bangers and cars of yesteryear than the minute incremental speed/acceleration gains of each edition:

Today we're testing the new GT3.
Today we're testing the new GT3 RS
Today we're testing the new GT3 RS Black
Today we're testing the new GT3 RS Black Limited
Today we're testing the new GT3 RS Black & Green Limited Plus

And the main thing - he comes across as a nice guy, but is equally incredibly dull in his presentation. YMMV.

Looks more like the inside of Home Bargains/B&M than Aldi, who have their non-food stuff in the large wire baskets.

[Oh crap. I'm council for knowing what the inside of Home Bargain, B&M and Aldi look like]

Its Just Adz

Leaving your car like this, council.
I had to collect this car today at work, gloves on before I opened the door.
