"Black exterior with cream leather interior."

Wow. You are an immoral bastard. Feel bad. How can you live with yourself, comrade? Can’t you just see you’re a cog in the capitalist pig's corporate machine?

Saw this on the tractor-factory wall...

Thanks Kev

It is for sale at a dealers, ticks lots of boxes, on the face of it will need new hood at sometime in not too distant future as rear screen seal is failing on 2 sections. Never ceases to amaze me that this is so common - hoods not cleaned and conditioned regularly with a close to £1500 bill to replace i suspect

Will give your recco a call and thanks for the suggestion - much appreciated

CNG my lunatic friend!

I disagree ; the capitalist lying bastard pig is the leader of our once great nation forcing many low mileage drivers such as me to find a bird puller which does not cost me £12.50 a day on top of extortionate road tax and fuel prices !

The irony escapes. The thing is, most of us wouldn't want to be a politician; this leaves a sorry choice from those that do. If we try to single one politician as much worse/better than another, we're not looking properly.

They will always find one rule for them, one rule for us. That'd be the very first rule. If you are genuinely surprised at this, you'd be an idiot - or it's your surprise that's fake? As a breed, the best we can say; they're a necessary-evil.

Comrade?? As applied to a majority Volvo owners - that's one hell of an Oxymoron (at least outside of the M25...)

From where I sit, here, just outside the M25, we see the first glimmers of another nation-state about to form. And inside the north/south circular the 'other world' is there already.

They can’t even comprehend how anyone could hold such "outside the M25" views. They are literally incapable of mentally modelling the worldview of any other opinion.

This, apparently, is a good thing.

Indeed - it's funny watching them squirm though, when the home truths are rammed home to them on Twitter (which is the epicentre of the current Wokerati, Bollinger quaffing left).

Meanwhile, whilst Johnson will rightly get a bloodied-nose at the locals in May, the longer term view suggests there is no threat of the Momentum types influencing much outside a certain motorway. Starmer being a Blairite - along with the Tories currently - will mean splitting any future vote in favour of minorities isn't a problem.

Ahem. Dear me, you can't write that. In some circles, that amounts to a holocaust-denial. Redeem yourself quick, else we'll be round. You know the kinda' thing... something like:

"How can this be the current year and people hold opinions deviating from what I deem acceptable?"

My tip: If you're fresh out of ideas, a Get-out-of-jail-free-card is to call somebody an 'ist'; throw in a few 'problematics' and ask to be placed in a safe-zone.

If that fails, imbibe every inherited-privilege it bestows, then scream "I HATE this country". Soak up your cushy life; Topple a statue; Buy a Merc.

Thanks Kev but as yoo hinted Mastertech will only consider if I get the car to them - which is a little impractical to say the least at the mo !

On the upside although on the face of it very reasonably priced, by the time one factors in service, plugs, gearbox fluid change, new hood it is well overpriced and no doubt will sit on the forecourt for another 3 months
