It was a nice idea Hugh but sorry, it'll never work m8y. Its going to rely too heavily upon each of your syndicate members being able to continually fund the running of the car and with the way things are at the moment how many on here can say that they can? Your costings are probably fine but if the engine goes bang or someone runs it into a wall its human nature for anyone not immediately involved to say 'why should I pay. . .not my fault it blew up. . . wasn't me who wrote it off' and it's at this point the problems will start, regardless of what the members agreed to at the outset. Who's going to want to take out some form of civil action against another syndicate member/Kent Scoobies mate to recoup their share of costs because he doesn't want to pay up or perhaps can't afford to?

Black classic been up the road past my place a couple of times over the weekend - sounds nice but sorry, whats that spoiler all about? Looks like giant meccano

At the moment I'm thinking about becoming Baser 9.99

. . . .sadly no ash-tray for Yogi then

Insurance company being a pain - whose side are they supposed to be on? I accept that I am regarded as being at fault (albeit I do not accept responsibility) as I ran into the rear of the other car however they don't seem as if they want to listen to my account of events. Any sensible advice and opinions would be appreciated. I'm driving along Old Kent Road - no more than 25mph as just pulled away from lights and approaching speed camera. Car in front pulls off left, across bus lane, into side turning - there was no need for him to brake so he just indicated and went. Unknown to me and visibly obscured by that car, was my victim, 'parked' in front of him in the middle lane - no lights on, no hazards, sweet FA. I noticed driver was out the car, braked but still ran into his car. I assumed he was already out of his car as he'd perhaps hit someone/something but no, he'd obviously had a domestic with his woman and had decided to get out and leave her to it. He was totally oblivious to my hitting him and would have walked off even if he'd been the only motor on the road. He'd just thrown his car door open and left -he even managed to hit the door mirror of a passing car. Ins Co reckon I've hit an 'unattended' car? Surely its only unattended in so far as he'd just got out - unattended to me is a car parked up with no one with it? The woman and her mate then got out the car and said that she'd got no idea what had got into him - she said that until that incident he was her partner! Although the bloke clearly acted like a right knob, it seems the Ins Co aren't interested - I stand to shell out the excess on the claim and possibly don't get a courtesy car. To rub salt in the wounds, didn't leave a mark on his old vectra. Peeeed off Spoken to the Ins Co again and put forward my case - although they now concede it can't really be regarded as an unattended car and they offer sympathy, even though they accept the bloke was a to55er all they can do is put my case to his insurers and so we await their comment. Looks like I stand to lose my excess, cost of shuttle for next weeks trip to Europe which has been cancelled, no courtesy car. Meanwhile he gets off scot-free. Who says there's no justice any more

that would have been Vicky then

No fluffy dice?

No idea - think it was a domestic as fat bird said he'd just got up and she was on her way to work at the lard factory (not sensing any bitterness here are we?) Perhaps he wanted to stay on the couch all day and she wanted a lift to work. Her equally fat mate couldn't throw any light on it either. To be fair though, they were both very apologetic about his behaviour although that don't get the car repaired and my week away back on track does it. Gits As I hit his heap of s**t, his door was already open and I'd assumed he'd perhaps hit something or someone, but no, he was doing a runner. Bit peeeed off the old bill didn't do a bit more, especially as a copper pulled up a few minutes afterwards - seems they don't get involved unless anyones hurt - should have rolled about pretending I was injured Still, drivers been reported as failing to stop so hopefully they'll get involved now

. . having got the car back all nicely repaired I had another fecking accident on the way in to work tonight Following a car along the Old Kent Road which suddenly stopped, no brakes, the driver jumped out and ran off leaving two women sitting in the car. Women get out, apologise and say 'don't know whats got into him'. His bumper has pushed the front of mine in breaking the nearside headlight and creasing the bonnet - all the lights still working though and nothing else seems amiss - the bumpers still in one piece even though its taken the impact mainly because I'd managed to slow sufficiently. As he threw his door open he clipped the wing mirror of a passing car driven by a civvy police woman so needless to say the local cops will be paying him a visit - leaving scene etc. They couldn't be bothered to attend scene as no one injured. Ironically not an effing mark to his ****-heap of a vectra Had booked to go to Amsterdam and Bruges week after next but thats had to be cancelled now as we'll not get car sorted by then

Attractive blonde female in silver x-reg classic with morettes early afternoon near the Blendon roundabout. And the asian guy again in the stickered up newage a little later near Welling Way. He didn't acknowledge me but then again he never has - I think his head is inserted too far up his rrrrrr to even notice another scooby

but then people in Banbury probably don't have a sense of humour. Do that in the Gillingham store and no one would notice anything wrong

Duck walks into a pub. . . . .got any bread? Barman . . . . no Got any bread? No Got any bread? No Got any bread? No Are you sure you haven't got any bread? Yes Got any bread? No. . . . ask me again and I'll nail your beak to the bar, you irritating little bird! To which the duck replied. . . . Got any nails? NO! says the barman Got any bread?

Those ORANGE wheels in Welling again

Probably going to work

Thats one hell of a muffler

Hmmm, wonder if thats the silver stickered classic I saw the other day near home - not more than a mile or two from SE2 postcode?

. . . can do your eyes whilst your waiting

Bob was in Swindon in 2007 when he remapped my car from his home - the invoice shows the address to be 50 Capesthorne Drive, Swindon SN25 1UR phone 0208-332 7534 email rbr@brdevelopments.com. When I went he was very busy - he was doing 3 more remaps that day - so would suggest you perhaps call in advance as he's probably just as busy now

Have left seat with Granby so perhaps someone could pick it up and pass on to Swifty for me? Thanx

Silver grey W reg classic being driven by lass (with littl'un in back?) on A2 London-bound near M25 at about 5pm tonight. Black stickered classic in Swingate Lane at around 5.30 just thumped over speed table

Anyone live near Swifty? Need to return child car seat and wondered if someone could collect from Wharf tomorrow?

Anyone need a brand new filter - its Subaru part no 16546AA020 - thought I'd stick it on here before the 'for sale' section

Didn't think anyone would ever own up to those orange wheels - what's the top colour going to be

I'm willing to go halves on this latest potential credit-crunching money-making scheme! No one else has spotted it yet Ian so there's a chance we'd get away with it
