    Plenty on the road around here with big rear drive hubs that are obviously 1000watt or bigger. Clearly illegal as no reg plates and who's checking? Nobody!.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Suspect cops are told to turn a blind eye, looks good for the government if lots of people are using personal eco-transport. Can bang on about how green they are. Votes in that.

    Nothing green about an ambulance on blues and twos when one of these dickheads bins it or mows down a pedestrian. Police will have been told to look the other way because there's more danger in chasing them than ignoring them.

    Not good publicity for MG. Nor the RAC, taking three bloody hours to turn up.

    That certainly is a new one - traditionally MG cars had problems starting, not stopping, if my brother's old Midget is anything to go by. It was part of my morning routine: get up, have shit, eat breakfast, push MG down hill to get it started, get bus to work.
