    £300 trainers. :rotfl:


    There is no shortage of fashion victims prepared to be willingly and legally mugged.
    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    You're probably 40 years old so the word 'spin' isn't familiar

    Also, from said article: The 21-year-old then went for a spin in his car with his E17GNR registration, but was suddenly pulled over by four police cars.

    Spin as in donuts around McDonalds? PC World? I'm seeing now why perhaps the OP was pulled? Maybe a bit of humility may be in order rather than the posturing seen here in this forum and 'that' publication.

    As my dad said 'I'd rather be caught openly reading Razzle than the Sun'.

    I didnt buy it for anybody i brought it for myself. Do you buy a nice car so the person behind yours will be like wowwww or do you buy it because you want one yourself?

    Do you really think i care what you think? I earn my money i spend it how i like. Get off
    Engineer I think. As if the person driving behind you cares or will even notice! :rotfl:

    Massive waste of money, as personalised plates always are.

    Someone I can't imagine you passing the attitude test.


    What exactly were you doing before 4 police cars spun in the road and pulled you over?
    Why did you pull over before they actually tried to stop you?

    When part of your original post is complaining how a £300 bill has taken you into horrible debt and is ruining your credit record, then...

    You either need to seriously reprioritise your discretionary spending, or you're being absurdly melodramatic. Which?

    Actually, given that you're complaining about people recognising you after you voluntarily sold your story into the national gutter press, then...

    Are you showing attitude here?

    So is the impound fee actually causing your any hardship?

    If i was doing anything stupid then the police would have acted on it. Hahahahaha it's always got to be something extra, never the fact that maybe the police made a mistake.
    Bore off

    Probably the latter of the two options. £300 is still £300. I ain't going to oppose paying it if i wasnt at fault. That's anoher pair of trainers !!!!!
