Team Bamboo Green

Now all you need to do is sort out that naughty number plate. Don't let @Thogg see it, you'll have those men in black balaclava's repelling down ropes in the middle of the night and crashing through the windows. :sneaky:
There's a Landcruiser at school with a reg plate that spells Tools (the dad sells them I think; or simply is one); I can't actually work out what the digits are meant to; beyond illegal.

Its got to be the latter rather than the former then. You've equally got me trying to figure out what the letter and number combination could actually be - sure as hell though you'd not be able to get the Police to trace it through the PNC or DVLA after it fails to stop after an accident.
 
Welcome. Where in east Midlands do you trade?
I do Chipaway in South Notts and have a great dent guy however he's quite busy. Can never have to many pdr chaps. It's such an art.
 
Haha, done loads of police officers cars and up to now never said a word ;)

Nottingham mainly mate, although I do travel the whole of uk and sometimes beyond for hail damaged cars, same issue here with being very busy but your welcome to give me a shout mate

That'll be their selective blind eye being turned so that their panels can be straightened without additional dents being stuck in for them.
Had one arrogant W*****r come knocking on my door very early one morning demanding my number plate as he was seizing it (a minor spacing issue like yours), told him good luck in accessing said plate since it was parked in my private garage and I was not about to voluntarily open it for him and that he'd need to come back with a warrant. He never came back. He thought he was the dogs danglies as he was one of the 0fficers on Road Wars. I have no doubt what-so-ever that our very own "friendly" traffic droid - sorry I mean expert roads policing officer (;):sneaky::whistle::thumbsup:) will never fall into that bracket - even if he was on TV; plus he's got a gun so when he pulls that out you salute and bow, ain't that how it works @Thogg? :D

You will never ever see me on TV...... and it's a bad day in the office if you're ever at the pointy end of my work tools!
 
I cringe at the police TV reality shows, as I can see that they think they are important and something special. The treatment of some people, and the attitude of the show in my eyes does a great disservice to our proper lads! And teaches the younger generation nothing when it comes to policing. At some stage the government/police will wake up to the bad image/impression that it can do the service, but then again it is a revenue stream. My view, and not meant to hack people off, just to make people think, and like @DaveyB , had my own bad experience of a couple of jumped up arses who need a pregnant female to relieve herself in their helmets to put them in their places! (If that hasn't been removed and assigned to history!).

Broadly speaking I agree with you. My only counter would be that normal police officers make for boring telly... and that for all the good work the guys on telly do, it will always be consigned to the editing room floor because sensationalised versions of stuff entertains more than the mundane. That said. I will never ever be on one of those shows.... "he looks like an amazing copper" said no person ever after watching road wars

Crickey, that is one hell of a spec. Where are you putting the twin 10"s?
 
yeah, can see how that would work. Really look forward to seeing development of it.
 
Well thats the full options list im sure, only wish i could have had that many ticks in my pocket :thumbsup:

I'd love to move the jack to install a twin 10" / 12" setup. I actually have the amps and two 12" subs but not sure about going through will a full install.
 
Go-on, you know you want to. Who needs a jack, get the AA out.

You are a terrible influence. On a serious note, if i did go for it, I'd want the install of the amps / subs to be in a way that I could remove it from the Kombi if i needed to. So some kind of twin enclosure that straps to the rear seat legs or something along those lines is what I have in my mind.
 
A couple of things happened today;

She went from a 17 plate to a 66 when we added our BO66NOR plate;
