    Daily Mail: Cancelling auctions on eBay

    Ebay or no ebay, the notion that a german citizen has mobilised both the German and UK courts, and resulting in the baliffs banging at the door over a tape deck is madness. Anyone who buys this story at face value as portrayed in the DM is a loon.

    Anyone ever run a Mercedes 190E? Any good?

    Anything that was expensive new and now cheap + old will need around £1k-£2k+ annual spend if you want a car to keep running well and in overall good order. £4k for an old car these days is banger money, so expect banger ownership experience unless previous owner and you are prepared to spend...

    15 minute cities

    What you describe there is just common sense and you live in a conventional devloped town which enables you the choice to drive or walk. Nothing radical about that. The attempted execution of a 15 minute city (as in the case of what Oxford) is to aggresively diminish the use of private...
