Ouch! But I'm sure that's mild compared to what Grande Queso will have to say!

Oiks stealing catalytic converters in endemic here. Cops released a video a few days ago of three guys jumping out of a yellow Urus, jacking up some minivan shitbox & stealing the cats from under it...

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
Same here. Locals are getting tired of seeing the same blokes in a Subaru with a noisy exhaust nicking them...our local Clouseaus seem to have no idea who they are and where they are from. (Uh-huh ) Broad daylight in the main village carpark, on the drive in front of your house etc. It's become a bit of a joke...the council have put posters up with photos of what happens 'This is catalytic converter theft...call Clouseau'. Duh.

From stolen cars to their cats, there's no supply without demand. Plod should start raiding scrappies.Count Steer wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 6:58 pmSame here.

What's Mabelthorpe like? They've got a place in Spain coming out soon, think I'll wait for that to get tickets. This does come with human soup pot though...

The sand racing on a Sunday is good to watch, but I’d advise leaving straight after.

We have a motorsports day up here every summer - with a public 'hill climb' (or roll down) in one of the resorts at the end of the couple of days.Taipan wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 8:13 pm This is mine tonight, or at least the cash alternative is!

Quite a few of those cars (like you are going to win tonight!) come, along with a ton of others in the same league! I would LOVE the chance to drive one on the mountain roads. I see and hear them coming up and going down, but its rare that anyone properly plays
