It’s the ‘Covid inertia’ effect?

I know! But it makes me nervous about these wonder drugs? Easy to stick it in? Impossible to get out?

I’ll be at the back of the queue for this! My old mum told me about the wonder drug they offered her back in the day to cure morning sickness, thalidomide? Fortunately she refused it?

I’m hoping for a full stop!

As the northerners say, “where there’s muck there’s brass!”

Maybe covid is affecting computer systems now?

Oh yeah, and it’s been going on for years too!

Plus the people that were sacked and then re employed on shittier contracts?

Yep, clock it just before a main dealer service?

As much as I love your idea, it’s annoying that I can’t just punch in a reg number and get an accurate VED rate? The question used to be, “has the cam belt been done?”, now it’s “is this the one with the cheap tax?”

Well, where does their stock come from?

I’m fed up with that clunky gov website for checking ved rates. It’s not even been working properly recently. With the obsession with emissions why is it so difficult to check ved rates, especially when you don’t have vin number only reg

Yeah I like the sound of magic beans? But obviously we only sell a few in our spare time so it’s not like we have to declare that? It’s just a hobby?

People are easily lured into what they perceive to be making easy money?

Might be different this time because BCA have found a way to include privates and chancers by lowering the trade account criteria and allowing blue card to ‘up’ to silver and be able to buy online? Here’s seems to be and endless supply of these guys who feel an account is like a key to the promised land?

I feel sorry for guys that source stock from private sellers like that?

So are we ‘holding our folding’ at the block now? Perhaps CDM can go definitive on this for all of us?

I look after myself. I wear a mask. I distance myself as much as possible. Because I have heart failure/hypertension, it’s a deadly lottery for me; a one way ticket to a canvas bed in a temporary hospital to cough up my lungs! Where I live there’s a much higher volume of people. In my Tesco there’s ‘two million’ people coughing and sneezing over the vegetables and then handling everything? I completely understand your frustrations though Dave, but please wear a mask, not so much for yourself, but everyone else; guys like me Youll miss me when I’m gone, and who else will laugh at your jokes!

That’s very true. I would imagine the last sale ever before a nuclear disaster and the mercs will make way over book!

Schrodinger’s box! Any car bought from auction now has to be assumed to be both a winner and a shitter at the same time, until you are able to ‘open it up’?

So can we all agree on what car you ‘shouldn’t’ avoid?

What’s the typical cost of a chain replacement these days?

How long does a chain last (how long is a piece of string I know) because, I’m not a mini expert, but I do see a lot of these in the ‘auction system’ with intergalactic mileages. Easy over 150k? They do actually look as though they stand the test of time as far as rust and interior trim is concerned at least? Maybe not?

Wax on, wax off! I’ll just leave that there!

Yeah like mechanics and paint, if you put a lot of work their way the prices drop. Upholstery is different, unless you’re into classics.
