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

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 :roll: ) 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.

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...

That looks a bit posher than mablethorpe itself.

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.

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 :( :(
