I hope they are sentenced to Community Service clearing the canal, starting with the pug. It certainly makes a change from supermarket trolleys. :)

My mum's got a Pug 107 - it's absolutely horrendous. It hasn't broken down yet, to be fair but it's only three years old so there's time yet.

It's so cheap it doesn't have a glove box - just a shelf, and there are no inserts on the insides of the doors. Just the metal of the door. :?

At first I thought she might have got some sort of sport pack or something the ride is so hard and uncomfortable but no - it's just crap. Combine it with a seat that is too hard and can't be adjusted accurately and it's hell.

Nope, the electrics would have failed long before it got near a main road.

But you could still start it with Le Cranck on the front.

It'd be the wooden wheels breaking in the cold that'd do it.

I'm assuming that was a stolen car. If not, there's no way their insurance will pay out for that.


I assumed it was a stolen car as well, as except for not using navigations lights on a waterway couldn't think of anything else that would be illegal.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
