This is DRY BUMMED BEND over AND SHAFTED The Normal FEE WAS £300 to ENTER and £300 to Leave..... who The Fook comes up with These Figures . . .I Have NOT PAID it YET ! ! ! !

On Waze app how to avoid clear air zone mate so i need it asap please because of work place
Fitted these lights to my Ford Capri. They were very easy to fit and work well, BUT I now regularly get folk flash me thinking I'm driving about on full beam when I'm on dipped beam. Light pattern spread is a bit vague but with adjustment can be usable. Aesthetically I think they look better than the original lights so that's another bonus.
which ODB scanner tool did you use? I need to buy one...
Its all a money making scam! Your vehicle psses an immisions MOT test on a yearly basis.
There is no evidence of these high numbers, the mayor of London assembly official page ‘quotes’ IMPERIAL COLLAGE LONDON, globally renowned experts in air quality research, have looked at the health burden of air pollution in London. Their research found in 2019, toxic air contributed to the premature deaths of around 4000 London. THIS INCLUDES DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES, INCLUDING RESPIRATORY, LUNG CANCER AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES. If you read this a few times, it claims imperial collage have looked at, not studied the air quality around London. It’s not actually 4000 deaths cause by dirty air but ‘other factors’. It doesn’t state or have any sort of percentage of other factors that were contributed by smoking due to lung cancer. Further along down the page, a coroner Philip Barlow ruled one(poor little girl) 9 year old girl from Lewisham died in 2013 as a direct result of air pollution, stating air pollution made a ‘material contribution to her death. www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/environment-and-climate-change/pollution-and-air-quality/ultra-low-emission-zone-ulez-london/ulez-frequently-asked-questions/what-evidence-air-pollution-leads-around-4000-premature-deaths Thank you for this video. I’m pretty sure my 2014 van is exempt as I have a certificate. 👍🏻
There was a case, in which a company's fleat has racked 11000 in fines because of ulez. The company took them to court and won because on the signs for ulez, it mentions that there is a ulez zone but doesn't mention that anything has to be paid. Since the company won, there is a precedent so all you'd have to do is point that out and go home. I'm pretty sure it's a bit more involved but that's the idea. Also, since no one agrees to this charge, nobody should pay it and it will be removed. It's atrocious.
Two completely different cars. I bought a 89 MX5 Miata in 1996 for $9000 CAN. It was a great basic sports car with power nothing. Loved it, drove it all year until in 2007 my mechanic said not to put another penny into it. Terminal rust. An incredible amount of salt used here in Toronto in the winter. I found a 2003 SLK320 with a 6 speed off lease and traded in the old Miata. I also retired, so it is in storage during the winter, when I am down south. I have now had it for 17 years. It is a little more peppier than the 230. The naturally aspirated V6 has a much wider torque band. Although I like the shifter, feel that the Miata was lighter and faster. It was a 5 rather than 6 speed. I did a road trip across Canada a few years ago and put 14,000 kilometres on it that summer. As I am pushing 80 I appreciate a slightly larger car that I can still get in and out of. Speaking of old British sports cars, I had a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite in university. It was fun and even much smaller. It was the first year with roll up windows rather than side curtains. It still had the Meccano Set roof with the frame in the trunk/boot and the roof rolled up behind the seat.
I had a 01 Miata SE 6 speed then a ‘99 SLK230 and I traded it last year for a ‘04 ML350 but the same guy was selling a ‘98 SLK230 last week and I snatched it up pretty cheap since it needed work. $1500 for a running and driving one that just needs some interior work and tires
Rear arch rust, rubbers all crumbling, then finally roof front hydraulic strut gave up and dumped fluid all over headlining. Fun but no is my experience.
The SLK 230, is not the car the BMW or MX5 are, BUT, it is far more livable than the others, MX5, is great little car but to go on a road trip? SLK wins out!
How is Alice😅
just rebuild it bored it and stroke it to do you have any info for restore my wedge
Ulez is just another TAX on the poor if people would look up they would see Chemtrails this is the global warming not your car milk meat
Nox for diesel?
Just got myself one for less than £2,500. I already love it. 1999 230 Kompressor
Or just get a big black marker and change the number plate 😎 then wipe it off later 🤩

Funny how Khans Diesel 6 tonne armoured Range Rover is ULez Exempt .shows you it’s a money making racket .
I have a 93 calibra turbo. Can I do the same ?
They cause dreadful interference with the vehicles radio and CB if you have one. They are cheap for a reason..
Another big part of your survivability will be the age and build of the OTHER car! I'm guessing that it was most likely a newer car than yours and with greater safety designs (it's a well over 20 years old Porsche 911 and safety requirements were SHITE back then!) better crumple zones etc that will be much less likely to destroy what it hits. I'd also way that the majority of frontal impacts you are much SAFER in a front engined car. Yes you can end up with the engine entering the passenger compartment but you also will have a LOT more metal out front to protect you! Front engined cars are safest.
If you'd been in the TVR, MX5 etc things could have been VERY different! That's the only thing about driving old cars, luckily this isn't 'proper old'!
SLK over the MX5 any day. It doesn't handle as well or have quite the 2 seater sports feel of the MX5. However it is way more powerful, more refined, far more solid and the roof is a work of art. It is the most practical out of the two as a daily driver.
That patent for forced induction was in 1937 for hitlers car...no lie😮. Also, was 2 plugs per cylinder for " reliability"
You low-key told us you’ve let the oil get too dirty. You changed it but didn’t say anything right? This is a classic extended oil change interval problem. Many cars are very sensitive to oil cleanliness when it comes to these cam phaser solenoids. If you don’t pull the solenoids to check and clean them, then at least change the oil and filter. The detergent additive package in the new oil will help free up the solenoids if they’re gummed up.
Stop paying Ulez and congestion charge,let’s do it and mess up Sadiq Khan plans,don’t pay ,simple
10 years later i'm going back to rubber as they just disappear to dust. 8 years sat unused.
Money making scam dressed up as a health concern. £!££ signs in front of officials' eyes! The death statistics are not as simple as they are quoted. Whilst it is true that air quality may be one factor in aggravating certain health conditions, it is unfortunate that everything is then simplified to ULEZ being the answer.
Mr. Ireland needs better props. He was a good driver and a great character.
do you have to register a historic vehicle or is it automatic ? grate video thank you.
I thought we left Europe . . . . why use Euro Standards? What about companies that cheated on Emissions testing? Are jet engines covered by Euro Standards?
These University Lezbians are a real problem!
PUT UP A BAT BOX LESS BOLYX, ASK THE MASONIC JUDGES WHAT WE MEAN
Hi mate thanks for the video tips I applied for it and my reading came back 0.081 I'm hoping they will round it off to nearest decimal point look forward to hearing back from you mate?
The cost of relatively mundane classic cars is one of the major factors that should encourage the young to get into them, for these reasons, No MOT, No road tax, Cheap Classic car insurance, easy to fix with out computers or electronics!
That study is totally spurious and has no validity what so ever! On a FIO to the highest of authorities on that subject only one child has died in over 20+ years due to the air quality in London, She was also suffering from severe asthma and had a bad bout at the time! ULEZ is just a scam & a money making scam, when it could all be done via the MOT.
The number of people that died due to bad air in london was brought up in the house of commons and it was ONE, slightly less than 9500!
K swap
Eeeeeewww no!!! It might have similar bhp but would be MASSIVELY down on torque and driveability! You would have to thrash the bollocks outta it to get anywhere.
I worked in South East Asia in the mid 80's, and bought a CRX there in '86. Bowled over by the looks, I bought it brand new at the dealer, without test driving it. Too much money, not enough exercising of the brain. A couple of years prior, I'd rented for 10 days one of the first Peugeot 205 GTI's to come into the UK, and loved it. The comparison with the CRX was like chalk and cheese. The 205 was light, airy and spacey inside. The CRX felt like sitting low down in a dark tomb. The 205 engine had grunt from low down all the way through the gears. The CRX only really performed when it was revved out. The 205 had lovely pliable suspension, the combination of good handling and suppleness. The CRX was tolerable only on billiard table smooth roads. I kept the CRX for only a few months, and got rid of it without a shred of regret.
"...... Mercedes brought a few novelties to the table...". They certainly did. A new, exciting form of quickrust metal, that made Lancias of the 1980's look like paragons of longevity, and almost equal to MX5's ability to dissolve to nothingness.
Only porsche from now on, or alternatively a volvo 240dl
The SLK is the coolest car Mercedes ever made,anybody that have one absolutely loves it,any year,any color,any model
Nice driving !! The targa sounded soo good - love how you properly ‘chopped’ little Irish ! 🎉
