That’s pretty cool!  I’d take one of each for my garage.

And thanks!

I heard that, after being beaten up by the American schoolyard bully, the Griffith went and got its big brother.

That’s odd, I’m sure they could have found plenty of new Euro cars to beat. That thing is a beast, I did launch mode in one once, it’s brutal fun. (launch is around 2:00)

I do not care if the Jeep is faster. It is stupid. The others are just better.

Well, I’m off to go look at TVRs now.

The fat and the furryious

Maybe the innocent person, I don’t know, pulls over when the cops try to pull them over?  That would prevent said “tactical contact”.

You can carry a lock-knife and a toolbox in your car, as long as you have a lawful reason for doing so. I got tugged last night with all of the above and a couple of immobiliser override harnesses in the boot, no problems at all as I’m an auto electrician and they’re tools of my trade.

There are some shows (Motorway Cops, Traffic Cops, Road Wars are some of them) on the YouTube that are like the Brit version of COPS which are:

Also a motorcyclist and I’m British, and I’m perfectly ok with this.

Actually, this has been going around on my Facebook feed for a couple of weeks, and all the motorcyclists I know seem perfectly ok with this.

Fact is, crime in the UK has been getting worse, these kind of thefts have been getting worse and worse, and…

When it comes to performance I would imagine the Met are quite happy with their BMW 530d Tourings or Volvo V60R’s both beefed up a little for police work. 155mph top end is enough to catch most people.

As are the overwhelming majority of us in the UK.

Remember, our economy is designed to make a handful of sociopaths rich. That’s it. They are happy to live in Fiddler’s Green in that Day of the Dead movie as long as they can lord it over the hordes. Never mind that said hordes are zombies and it’s the literal apocalypse, THEY WON.

“Tactical contact,” cop-talk for “running them the fuck over.”

Honestly, they need to do anything to stop the crime spree on stolen scooters and mopeds. Until this show of force, it’s been a complete disaster. Thieves could steal, intimidate with little repercussions from the public (as they can not legally arm themselves with a weapon of any kind) and reports to police were…

Unpopular opinion incoming:

My husband got a cut on his finger that turned into toxic shock and the flesh-eating virus. Cut to 7 mos later when I got a message at my desk (I’m a public school teacher) that went like this:

Reading appears to be a skill that’s fading away.

The dummy’s head made contact with the interior during the side barrier test, leading the Wrangler to earn a marginal protection rating there.

Forget electronics or stars, the front impact rating is 50%.
Which is downright terrible for a new car sold by a major manufacturer.
The re-styled Fiat Panda (a model from 7 years ago) scored 45%.
A good car scores 90% or better (I’m always talking about front impact ONLY).
Even the new Suzuki Jimny (same body on frame…
