    Best of all it is a 2004 model. So really dirty. Probably even more dirty than NLyUK.

    Can thieves not even operate a screwdriver now?

    One numpty even posted the same comment twice.

    I wish there was a mod who could delete the noise.

    And I have changed my mind about death penalty. I suggest being handcuffed and thrown into a Manchester canal.....

    I am permie now. Massive salary, healthcare, sick pay, etcetc.

    Cars always get scratched in car parks and such like. I never worry where I leave the car. And when I cut people up they never want to go anywhere near it - they don't want to damage their precious "penis extensions".

    It generally attracts little attention Until now.....

    No sign of crime use yet - I expect a flood of letters from tfl etc. soon.

    All instances of my number plate will get pulled over by ANPR over the next 3 months - including me. Little chance of police being on the road these days.

    At first I thought I would have to get the car recovered to Wales. Then that I would need registration document sent down. It seems Halfords will accept a photo/scan - as I have been a good customer for 12 years.

    I don't support the death penalty. Just pay back the taxes you owe.
