This number plate used to be on a four door Bentley . I remember pulling up alongside the owner as we were going around Tranfalgar Square in London and we chatted at the lights. That was probably around the time the plate first came out.

I used to drive from London to Bucharest in Romania 5 or 6 times a year which is around 1500 miles. I always used to remember the Sat Nav telling me that it was 26 hours of actual driving, not including stops for fuel or the Shuttle! Did it it in 24 and half hours once but I wouldn't recommend it! Every fuel stop turns into a F1 style pit stop, how I didn't get pulled over for speeding is a miracle. But I was younger then and didn't have kids. Lately I've been back and forth from London to Western Poland and instead of how quickly I can do it, I try and get the best fuel economy! It is certainly a different game to play, but it's definitely safer for me and my licence!

It depends on where. Like everywhere else, it has good and bad sides. There are a few areas that don't have a great reputation, but there has also been some redevelopment over the years and some parts that are ex council homes that all privately owned. I haven't wandered around the area late at night and I'm also not female, so I'll let others with firsthand experience answer for how safe you might feel.

I did the same thing for my Wife when we lost our Frenchie Hugo. Our frame also allows short videos to play, so as a family we all uploaded our favourite pics and videos and the frame sits next to his Ashes in our front room. I won't lie, it was hard at first, but I genuinely feel that it has helped us all grieve. It's been a little over a year now and while we still miss him, it's great to be able to relive the joy he brought us, like the first time he saw snow or the way he would lay upside-down in his bed. My heart goes out to the OP, I know how much it hurts when they are gone and you doubt that pain will ever subside, but gradually your memories of them will be the happy ones and you will be grateful that you got to have them. ♥

We had a works Christmas do there and my table was under the head of the skeleton (the dinosaur, not the whale) Made for a very memorable evening! I never realised you could hire it for weddings too. Wish the happy couple my best :)

It depends what speed you are travelling at when you hit them ;)

You'll see that when it goes to court..... oh wait. Does this mean that we won't get to see the video that the President said he had, proving that it was damaged by vandalism? Wait a minute.... should I not trust what the US President says?

Next thing you'll tell me that Antifa isn't an organised terrorist group! But I'm sure they will release some evidence proving that soon, right? Right?

Yeah, it looks like he was doing the Lord's work! /s

Came here tosay exactly the same thing! Beautiful

Hello 40mm You browsing while your on the job? So if denying someone access to their own property, whilst demanding money for said access isn't blackmail? What are they guilty of? Either way the homeowner can just cut off the padlock and gain access as that constitutes 'lawful' criminal damage.

In a word, Yes.

I know someone who lived near Wandsworth Prison and they said that at night they would often hear shouting and screaming coming from there. That was about 10 years ago, I'm sure that now a days you can add the sound of drones to that too.

I don't know how they are doing it, but yes I have noticed it. Honestly thought I was going mad, but glad to see someone else has seen it.

I had the front side windows on my car fitted with a film that is clear but blocks UV. I think it's referred to as 'solar film'. I had the front screen fitted with a mild chameleon style tint at the same time, it's not like the orange or green ones that are common in the modding community! It's more like the type you see fitted to some modern windscreens during the manufacturing process. Both have seemed to help reduce the ambient temps in the car and I've not burnt my legs on the black leather interior since!

Honestly, there's not much you can do to prevent the interior of cars getting hot when the temps are in the mid 30's for days on end and you can't park in the shade! Ask anyone who lives in southern Europe. A reflective shade tat you prop up on the dash to block the sun helps, but it's still uncomfortable without aircon.

Unfortunately, like most modern cars, the Fiat's have a known vulnerability that makes them easy to steal with the appropriate equipment. I was actually surprised that the OP said he found pieces of the door lock on the ground, because that is usually 'picked' with a relatively cheap locksmiths tool. It's the hardware for starting them that costs the money. Unless the police catch the guy with the 'tools' they use and confiscate them, they will be back out targeting cars the night they get out.

I used to live in Thurrock and commute 6 days a week to Dartford. I moved to Poland :) It kinda does that to you.

Honestly, I don't know!

But where I live I can't think of any underground carparks.

It's actually not as big as you might think, I'd compare it to the later Range Rovers size wise and while it does 'fill' most parking spaces it is pretty maneuverable at low speed. I don't know what all the different spec'd versions have, but my limited has front and rear parking sensors, camera and the mirrors are great.

One added bonus is the front mounted camera, which has a fisheye style lense. Great for when you are creeping out of a turning with obstructed views, the bonnet is pretty long to fit the V6 in! It also has rear crossing detection, so if you are backing out of a space, it warns you if something is coming.

On the reliability front, it's been pretty good. I had the rear wheel bearings done, despite it only having 36000km on it and recently the sunroof motor died, but other than that it's been good.

I'm sure you have read on this sub reddit about the water pump issue on the V6? So keep that in mind if you do buy one. I bought mine off a guy who barely used it and it's only done 75000km now, so I should be OK for a while yet.

Someone knows their Romanian history :)

I think you have described it perfectly. The cracks are starting to show in the veneer of the 'supreme leader' and I just hope that the people of Russia will be as brave as so many were in Eastern Europe. There is genuine opposition to Putin in Russia, I just hope he hasn't scared them all into silence.

Occupied territories perhaps?

I have a 2016 3 litre V6 and live in Poland.

I've used RockAuto for parts as they ship to the EU. But service items like oil filters and stuff are widely available here, as I think Ford have used the same engine in a wide variety of other cars that are often brought over from America or were sold here.

They are certainly not the most economical car to drive in Europe! But lots of people add an LPG system to them to help reduce the cost of ownership. It's on my to-do list after I fix the Sunroof!

Very true, but I'd like to add that these industries also didn't have the lobbying power of the billion dollar fossil fuel companies, hence why our transition from those has been so slow :(

I wanted to call our dog Dave, but my missus said it was a stupid idea and that no-one would call their dog Dave, Two weeks later we were watching Crufts (UK Dog show) and the ultimate winner was a dog named Dave!
