Even the ones that didn't live by the sea have mostly succumbed to tinworm - the inner arches were particularly susceptible and easily missed until it came to MOT time.

Chrome Northwest products are my go to. I usually use Pink for interior shine (also as tyre shine) but there's a couple of other options available as well. https://chromecp.com/collections/interior-dressings

GTA San Andreas was very cleverly made - by using a combination of a fairly short render distance hidden with fog and slow vehicles made to feel much faster using visual effects they managed to make what is quite a small map feel absolutely huge. When the remastered version came out and didn't...

Even if possible - which I'm not sure it would be without huge amounts of work since they were designed as single decks - by the time you strip them down far enough to be useful, it'd be cheaper and easier to start from scratch.

I have not, but that's because I play GTA on PC so have to wait for that release. I'm not sure. After the runaway success of GTA V, it has some pretty big boots to fill. Hopefully it can succeed, but we shall see. I think part of the problem is that it could really do with being split into two...

Presumably the lack of any news means there hasn't been much progress, if any. Even with upgraded batteries, I'm not convinced how useful they'd be since they'd still have a noticeably shorter range than the newer EVs and would probably still need to be limited to shorter boards or swapped out...

Have they actually taken some of them back now? I know there was a significant argument over them and Wright were refusing to do anything because they were from the old incarnation of the company and therefore not their problem, but if they relented and have been looking then that's certainly...

I wonder if part of it is due to who is in control of a particular mode of transport. With the car or bike, the person being asked is likely to be the one driving or riding and may have the subconscious bias that because they feel that they can do something to avoid a collision, it's less...

In a word, no. The batteries weren't really the problem, it was the rest of the bus - with the poor build quality and frequent breakdowns causing their removal from service after only 18 months. With the new Wrightbus refusing to have anything to do with them, to re-engineer 6 unique and small...

When I was still in Edinburgh that was owned by a black cab driver and could usually be seen parked on his driveway in Colinton, but if I remember right he sold it a few years ago. Good to see it's still in use and being looked after. 1781611983 Jowett ;)

That'll be an electric DAF XD. There's currently 8 of them in the fleet, 4 at Crick and 4 at Warrington, so they're still a fairly rare spot.

I've got an S reg VW Caddy pickup that had black and silver plates when I bought it. First thing I did after getting it home was get rid of them and put white and yellow ones on it.

Because of the suspension setup they pivot closer to the drive axle than the tag axle, so the turning is pretty similar to a two axle vehicle but with a bit more tailswing.

That reminds me of one seen recently at a local Lidl - an X reg Saxo VTR. The VTR being the less powerful sibling to the VTS and being significantly cheaper to insure while looking basically the same meant a lot were bought then modified and/or crashed by boy racers, so it's unusual to see a...

To answer the thread title, yes I do, but that's partially because I drive the things. I did used to think it would be nice to have a fancy truck, and to an extent I still do, but having gone from tramping with my own unit to doing agency work driving whatever is available, there's definitely...
