I made a decent sum chaffering some americans to Ascot for the races, it's definitely worth doing. Should have looked into doing weddings a bit more but could never be bothered.

Django, how much extra was the insurance for that kind of work?

Well, being honest, I never bothered. I was always the driver. I was just taking 2 or 3 very well dressed people to a wedding in my car

Nice, nothing like ignoring the T&Cs pretty much all standard insurance policies have about not using the car for financial gain by transporting people for money etc.

Does that mean if I give someone a lift, I can't accept petrol money off them and a bit extra for the trouble?

Bit of a difference between picking up a drunk family member andtthem giving you a few quid and running an actual business.

Pretty sure there's a legal limit too

The Dirty 1 Series

That's a nice looking 1 series, is it a 118D or 120D?

I don't have a problem with that Supra interior Kimi

The extra dials make it look messy.

I'd recommend not putting this information out on the internet for all to see.

I'm guessing you're not paying tax on the income either.

I like the BMW Spider Wheels.

Same here, look tidy.

Is it just me or do Supra's black clocks look like they have come out of a Lancaster bomber?

I was going to say I'm pretty sure we had those dials on the articulated front loaders I used to drive. Same with the air vents. And the steering column stalks.

We're they made by Toyota per chance?

Now that you come to mention it.... LOL. No, I think they were CATs. Not sure though. They were from the 80s and in an outdoor yard dealing with aggregate. So there was no branding left on them.

We'd plenty of Toyota fork lifts though. Great machines. I managed to drop about 20 pallets from the back of a lorry on one while I was in it and offloading said pallets. Just bounced off the roof. Probably saved my life.

Lol, you're not the only one, interior looks ancient! Had no idea they looked like that.

199k

Yep, still running great

Its a brilliant car considering the age. For something made in 1996 its still modern looking exterior wise.
