Well that's from when the cats kept getting in and they had to put the locks on!

Or perhaps she was fed up with you leaving all your shit all over the place.

To be fair I fitted latches that by design can only be opened from the outside onto all the rooms in our house to stop the cats from pushing the doors open and getting stuck in there. So it looks weird, but there's a reasonable explanation!

Yup, that must be the reason.

Nope. Don't need to.

I love this shit.

If you honestly think that the arab world hasn't contributed anything to humanity then you're a fucking idiot and you need to seriously reconsider the choices you've made in life.

Ah man, fuck those dickheads.

They'll have done all kinds of due diligence on it I'm sure to make sure it's the best company for the contract and there's no conflict of interest.

Hello from Europe, where you're a freak if you can't!

Frankly they're both shells and parts. One of them is close to being roadworthy, but it's value is less than the sum of it's parts. I'm thinking it's probably going to take less money in the long run to get an mx-5 and have fun in that than keep even one of the minis on the road.

Just because Land Rover stop making them, doesn't mean the Defender will die. A company will move in, probably already has, and will buy everything needed to keep it alive. They'll be sold as farm vehicles, or they'll simply sell a comprehensive parts catalogue.

Over here (UK) it's a different story. They're not amazingly reliable, but they're not too bad. When they do break down, you can usually fix it yourself. Parts are EVERYWHERE. They've been building them in one form or other for decades, so every scrapyard has something (never a body though - they go on forever). Also,…

Also the flowers and tributes should be painted in a way that makes them look flattened too, as if a steamroller has gone over the whole thing.

So I'm considering selling my two classic minis and buying an mx-5.

Ever since I did karate and learned how easy it would be to completely fuck someone's knee, I want to walk with them slightly bent at all times just in case. Of course, that would make me look like a maniac, so I have to take my chances!

ROADHOUSE.

I'm talking back at the garage, like a storage/charge rack. Then you could change bikes as easily as you change shifts.

Surely the way to beat the charging issue would be to have removable battery packs? Just have two packs for each bike and swap them out instead of recharging. That way if required they could be instantly 'refuelled'.

To be fair, it is really hard for us...
