Towing?

You bet they do! https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/ferrari-wants-maximum-penalties-for-f1-cost-cap-rule-breaches/10377257/#:~:text=Ferrari has urged the FIA,the category's cost cap rules.&text=F1 teams are bracing themselves,and which outfits went over.

If you have a Wilkos nearby they supply bags which you can fill with screws, a lot cheaper than those plastic boxes!

For old cars (the thread subject!) the new stickers are more appropriate than the "blue" ones, just the lettering that's different... Looking back at that photo that caused the discussion, had those vehicles travelled abroad when new they'd have had a white sticker very similar to those on them, that's the first thing that struck me when i looked at the photo... Took me back to '82 when we had one on the back of a Talbot Horizon that we drove across Europe.

All we've done is go back to what we did previously, I honestly can't see what the issue is!

Blimey, Mr Angry is on the loose, first world problems, eh, having to worry about a small sticker...

So the Hyundai is illegal... The AA say the following (as from Sept 2021): "You currently need a UK sticker on your car if your number plate has any of these: The Euro symbol. A national flag of England, Scotland or Wales. Letters and numbers with no flag or identifier. A Union flag with a GB marker The UK sticker must be have black letters on a white, elliptical background. They must be at least 80mm high with a stroke width of 10mm. In some countries like Spain, Cyprus or Malta, or countries outside the EU, you must display a UK sticker no matter what's on your number plate. If you have a number plate with a Union flag marker that includes the UK symbol, you do not need to display a separate UK sticker"

See we're back into defensive mode again, why can't people (on both sides) simply accept that everyone has different needs and leave it at that instead of defending their choice and criticising the other. Can we get back to the basics of the thread heading, please...

And the hard furnishing retail trade! ;)

I've been a member since the late 80s, David, and help out behind the s/h stall! There's currently a little H0e and very little H0m, nothing like what there's been in the past, and no TT at all. In fact they've now banned taking any more H0m (or 12mm gauge) as it takes too long to sell, so I'd get it while you can, nothing for me, though.

I'm with CloggyDog in that I'd pick TT over H0 for modelling Czech Railways. There's a lot of "space" around stations over there, especially in the countryside, and TT allows you to model that in a reasonable space. Previous issues of CM have had my Czech layouts in TTe which illustrate that point.

With a gauge change in the tunnel?!

Which with the current mileage range of an affordable EV it isn't a pleasure. Its been interesting reading BRtraction's experiences and whilst I applaud his tenacity I don't feel that his experiences of his EV make me want to get one. To me I just want to jump into the car and get from a to b with the least amount of hassle possible. There's enough agro on the roads anyway without having to worry about range. I can live with a PHEV uf they were affordable but EVs have some way to go before they can become an ic substitute so I'm with admiles on this.

Didn't most of the UK sold ones end up being sold back to Russia after we'd used them or is that an urban myth?

Wellington pub, Birmingham, the cats are Malt and Hops!

If you look at the comments on that link there's plenty of silly (sarcastic?) suggestions, the one I liked most was for a destruction derby, but that would favour Max...

Oh dear... Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse...

It's appeared now! Nice selection of colours! :)

Just a lot of white space... But no cats! ;)

No just a suggestion after the recent fiascos!

Thought that's when it started to go downhill?

If the safety car is still out with three laps to go then that's how it ends.

He didn't say he disliked F1, just that he doesn't like the way it's heading under the current owners and I'm sure many of us share that sentiment. Interestingly he says that he records the races, that's not the action of someone who dislikes a sport, for instance I doubt you record football matches to watch later, Balgrayhill?

"Bearman attempted a pass for the lead on lap 16 but Maloney defended, with Bearman being forced to take the shortcut through the chicane and stay behind. Shortly after, a Safety Car was called after Kush Maini and Brad Benavides crashed out of the second Lesmo, both cars ending up on the grass and in the wall on the inside. There was a red flag called with five laps to go, in order to clear Maini and Benavides’ cars. During the red flag, Martins was issued a five-second time penalty for four track limits violations, putting his championship seemingly under threat for the final four laps. However, shortly afterwards, the race director announced that the race would not be resumed. Confusion reigned in the pit lane as neither Martins, his team or the other drivers were aware how the championship would be decided. Eventually, Johnny Edgar and William Alatalo also received five-second time penalties for track limit violations. Alatalo had been initially promoted to third by Martins’ penalty, his own penalty subsequently putting Jak Crawford on the podium and Martins back to fourth. Maloney won the race, Bearman second, Crawford third and Martins fourth. Consequently, Martins takes the title with a lead of five points over Maloney, seven from Bearman."
