^^^^^ Eeh! The cheek of that man. He does have a point though..



I was seized by the fuzz once, I ended up with a nasty rash..

When I asked my wife if she had ever been picked up by the Fuzz, she said no, but admitted, that as a student, she was once swung around by the t*ts!

ive been running my truck on english plates with french mot for 3 years now.. im waiting to get told off by the local mot guy.. he got cross about my old iveco ive been stopped a couple of times by les flic & they don't seem to care..

Time to change MOT guy then. Most transits get a "Postal MOT" anyway

i have considered that but i like the staff at my local mot place.. i get discount for a large family of vehicles, & when my old vans rear brakes were out of balance the guy suggested i keep my speed under120mph

Did he say something that might have got lost in translation?
C'est de la merde ce truc.

I reckon that even the most French of CT testers might know the difference between a small, mid engined two seater from Japan and a Ford commercial vehicle from the local compound.

You need to eloquent yourself a little more clearly, too much Merlot perhaps. mr 2 comes across as mister two, from which two things can be assumed. Deux Chevaux, that most Gallic of clapped out motoring, or Mr Merde, which amounts to the same thing. What's that? You meant a Toyota MR2? But that's a big boy's toy.

i was the proud owner of an mr2, but wifey sold it when daughter no3 came along.. i love my lil lottie but i still miss my car
if you look on the site somewhere there is a thread on how you can change the alternator.. i regard myself as an expert now
