picked up the new marina

Post by marinamadman » Sun Apr 22, 2012 2:19 pm

well i picked up the free marina estate on friday, was an adventure to say the least! ended up having to pay 100 pounds to drive my transit into a low emission zone, when i first saaw the car i though it was quite rotton but on closer inspection its in very good condition, it just needs the front wings replacing and a small amount of welding to the front passenger A post. the car is full of spares including a spare gearbox and all the gears from another! there is 12 windscreen wiper kits! along with a whole load of other stuff and 2 boxes full of spares

Wierd, most diesel vehicles have so called, "lower emissions" and are charged a lower rate of road tax because of it. :? :?
I am thinking politicians are just "muddling along" and changing/making up rules as they go along. I have very little trust in any of them. They don't seem to have a clue what they are talking about, only interested in making money,(mainly out of the motorist)!!!!
