    Ironside cars that go to auction

    Evening I recall reading a thread here which identified where Charles Ironside sends his cars that don't sell to auction - but I can't find it now?! Does anyone know? Thanks :)

    what does it mean to own a mercedes today vs owning a mercedes in the past

    I drove a brand new A Class when they first came out. I was gutted. I have owned Mercedes cars for years and that awful, poorly built pile of pap confirmed that the firm had sold itself down the river. How could a firm that built the W124 put their name to such a thing? What does it...

    Absolutely. Have you seen them doing that on those fly-on-the-wall documentaries? Awful. But not covered by mobile phone legislation. :mad:

    Anything that impairs your ability to react to whatever might happen in front of you has to be a mistake. Personally, I see it as taking pride in my driving. If it has no impact on the standard of your ability behind the wheel, maybe the problem lies deeper than your choice of beverage...

    Being drunk and sleeping in a motorhome?!

    And my guess would be that is what happens 98% of the time, but then other times, there is something that agrivates the circumstances such that the Cop is inclined to investigate further - which may well be by arresting the person in charge of the vehicle. I guess the real emotive point of...

    Crikey, there seems to have been a sense of humour failure around here today? So much for chilling out on a Sunday afternoon. (I have to admit I'd rather be watching F1 than the fancy dress run around the City today...). I don't think it is acceptable to drink a mug of tea and drive a...

    Being drunk and sleeping in a motorhome?!

    The point may be that he was in a private Car Park rather than on a road? If there was no implied access for the public over night, then the offence may not have been made out (not 100% on Scottish law). :rolleyes:

    Being drunk and sleeping in a motorhome?!

    You could well be right. Looking at the Court results, the Cops around here do seem to be inclined to wait until the driver pulls away (with the risks associated with that) rather than making use of the preventative offence. I guess it could be different in other parts of the country. I am...

    I don't intend to offend, but if you took that as a smug tone, I can only apologise... :)

    Being drunk and sleeping in a motorhome?!

    Not so, see S4 (7) - For the purpose of arresting a person under the power conferred by subsection (6) above, a constable may enter (if need be by force) any place where that person is or where the constable, with reasonable cause, suspects him to be. :thumb:

    Being drunk and sleeping in a motorhome?!

    Unfortunately, it's this sort of thread that give t'internet a bad name (deservedly). If you believed what was written here as fact and a fair representation of all of the facts, you'd be left with no need for solicitors, the CPS, Courts, the press.... Stay away from the Daily Mail! can't...
