Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Simple solution is to leave the civic at the edge of the no diesel zone & drive the diesel to it. You might need a helicopter to get the civic in the zone first though.

Hope that helps.

Steal the number plate of a car that conforms to the emission criteria. Simply swap it over before you enter the zone, and remove as you exit.

What could go wrong....

Obviously the above is a joke, and meant to lighten Adams situation.
As someone who once had both number plates nicked off my car. It wasn't very funny at the time.

My gripe,
I was watching a lower fairing on Ebay for the GSXR, but hadn't got my ar3e in gear and bought it.
Look just now, and it's bloody sold. Bugger, it was the only one that wasn't fubar.
God knows how long until someone else crashes their 17 year old GSXR on the right hand side.

I know, I should have just bought it earlier. tw&t.

Annoying isn't it. I've missed a few bargains like that.

I had that on a super rare part about 6 months ago, I thought I won't give him offers because he must know this will get bidded up massively and it annoys sellers. Then it disappeared - so I emailed the bloke basically saying "I saw it first" ; unbelievably he said 'give me a fiver more than the buyer and you can have it and I'll tell them I lost it' (not worth messing someone round for £5 I thought!) - the buyer only paid £150 it turned out and I expected it to go for £300 . £155 and I have my holy grail motorcycle bit.

In short - email the seller ... it might not be too late!
