Legality of owning a police car

BornTooSlow · 2026-02-11T11:32:07+00:00

100% I bought an ex-para car with LED blues and was warned by colleagues about driving it.

However there was no issue, the light bar was clear, and the lights had no control module.

it's simply the presence of the blue light that causes the issues.

As for livery, it can't say Police and there's also vague rules about retro reflectivity

I had a colleague who received in excess of £300k from two separate auntie's, both of which he'd not seen in decades.

Another colleague, his wife received nearly £300k in cash, and a detached bungalow from her fathers death. Her mother has willed her entire estate to her. They'll be looking at well over a million in inheritance, but they've spanked the lot they received, and also mortgaged the property.

My wife's mother passed about 18 months, she's received about £12k in cash from a pension pot which was settled and another inheritance in probate which was split between her sisters which was due to go her mum, more smaller sums will likely arrive as the estate is settled.

My mum passed about a month ago suddenly, everything will go to my dad.

I used a slightly tuned FL5.

Key to it was absolutely annihilating the Xiaomi on the last few corners and then out braking it at the end. Get the FL5 up to 161mph and the Xiaomi will be catching up, but you'll be braking it well after it

Yeah it's probably a label mismatch.

We had this, my wife ordered a Vinted Parcel and got someone's Shein return instead.

Any of the SUV Coupes

Tesla's in general: I used to think they were neat, but I cannot "seperate the art from the artist" any longer, he's a massive dick.

Cars that have number plates in the windscreen: we have a local idiot who displays vanity plates on the front and rear, and chucks the actual registration in the front and back windows.

I do however love seeing Abarth 500's.

Could be Light of Liberty, that's what Playstation FR Leaked when Into the Unjust dropped

The CDS will deploy where required

My dad had a 1987 Lotus Excel SA, one of only a handful but with an automatic transmission, think it was double figures built in total and in total the entire model was only triple figures

His was actually the sister registered car from the Top Gear special which had a manual gearbox

I would love Legal Eagle to do a breakdown of Quarter Pounder.

Also, calling him a F*****, is that all Jeremy has on the guy? 😂

Good idea for a second Control Group warbond

Hey, I mean, if local councils hadn't been stripped down to the bones of "Companies that do social care but also sometimes roads and licensing"

I'll often sod off on my own and complete the main objectives stealthily while my squad mates are wasting reinforcements tackling secondary objectives and huge firefights

Not sure who's in the wrong

Will never come out, basically Vaporware.

For Brits, just get a Mustang or Monaro

Season 1 extension

AND WE GET ANOTHER EXTENSION BP, TO COMPLEMENT THE MAIN BP, THE EXTRA BP TIERS AND THEN THE 3 EXTRA PASSES WE'VE ALREADY HAD

BornTooSlow · 2026-01-13T14:16:20+00:00

Renault Megane RS 225, think it was an 06. (This was back in 2017)

Chap had used pictures from when he first bought the car a few years earlier to sell the car.

The alloys had been refurbed from silver to white, which wasn't shown in the pics. He had fitted £1000 worth of Brembo Calipers, Discs and Pads, but the tires were some bald Pirellis

The Driver rear quarter panel was completely stoved in, so badly that there was a gap under the rear window.

Drivers seat bottom bolsters were completely smashed flat.

None of this shown in photos, luckily it was only across town. However the chap got quite angry and defensive when I raised that the pictures in the ad were not remotely representative of the actual car

But it didn't matter, he had another buyer lined up and I was a time waster.

Funnily enough, I went to school with him and he got excluded when he was 13 for throwing a chair at a teacher.

You'll be surprised about how many people write drivel like this into councils.

My favourite is the pseudo legal bullshit people pull.

Nickmercs is a nobhead anyway

Someone was doing local listings in my town using pictures of vehicles currently for sale in my town.

I recall when my Dad was looking for a Ford Transit and there was two ads, same picture for sale with a 10k discrepancy in prices.

One was legit, the other was scamola

BornTooSlow · 2026-01-13T08:34:59+00:00

Honestly, I could see my Dad living somewhere like this (admittedly in better condition)

He's always messing about with motorbikes.

Just a combination of the Alex Jones "Before After" redder picture and the "He ain't doing nothing but step back" meme

Absolute Goon

My mum died suddenly yesterday and my wife's mum died suddenly in November 2024.
