When you said 'silly money' I was thinking silly money low rather than silly money high.

Like around £10,000.

Lovely car but not for that money.

I think his restoration/restomod made it about as good as any xjc could be. There's a good YT video out there by Tom Lenthal who did all the work on the v12. Apparently he now does a decent trade in 'Harey spec' v12 upgrade packages 

But yes, hard to justify the price when you could recreate what has been done, to your exact tastes, for substantially less than the purchase price.

but the cop cars I have seen are unmarked and all you get to see is the blue lights hidden behind the grills when they start to flash with the headlights when they are in pursuit.

Unless you have Target Blu Eye fitted (TETRA Comms detection), and then you'd know they were there from half a mile away. 

One thing I did learn on my patronisation course is the sort of distances their gear works over.  Not sure half a mile would be enough 

My last set of points were picked up at just under 700m, as I came over the brow of a hill
……..

They claim detection at one kilometre, but seeing as I drive like an old granny now I’ll **hopefully** not need to worry about where they are.

I have recurring lapses, hence the hopefully. 

Good luck to his replacement trying to reverse a culture of wokedom.

The replacement will be another lefty woke Establishment place-person, probably in possession of a non pink vagina that only ever gets penetrated by double ended or strap on dildos to tick all the correct boxes. 

My management chain aren't happy as they did multiple rounds of job adverts over about 10 months for my boss's job, but failed to find a female, ethnic lgbt+ person, and finally had to settle for a white, male, straight person.

Shame. You just can't get the staff these days.

And, yes, I am a reformed character, and I was officially doing less than 70mph on a rural dual carriageway.  Its just I refuse point blank to obey HS2's stupid road speed limits they have whilst they spend 4 years to build a single bridge.  There is no need for the speed restriction, as, lets face it, they are definately "working out of sight", just not anywhere near the bloody unfinished bridge.

Any auto shop (though get a feeling Halfords don't do correct wattage)

Is it backlights or warning indicator lamps that are blown?

Director General and News Chief Executive have just resigned.
Excellent. 

I see that he had a car and a chauffeur, paid for out of the licence fee, and he very often stayed in a hotel in London instead of travelling the 40 miles home each night, again at the expense of the licence fee.

Personally we wouldn't need one , totally legal & neither of us break the speed limits anymore,we pay enough to run/maintain our vehicles & certainly don't want to contribute any more cash in fines.

Me neither.    I tend to watch my speed constantly now, particularly on motorways. As you say, it’s not worth the aggro anymore.
