Sawn off shotgun would not be much use on a shoot day the shot pattern would be too big the bird would fly thro the pattern untouched .
The guns in the motor have got 32 inch barrels not much good either they would just fill the bird full of lead

pump action ideal for robbing banks but have been seen on some clay shoots

not seen a pump action at a clay shoot, must raise a few eyebrows ;), did think those barrels looked fairly long

The collection didn't exactly go to plan, car started fine, only it hasn't moved for months, the handbrake was seized, and I mean seized

The guy I'd booked to pick it up was a diamond, instead of just shrugging his shoulders he chocked it, jacked it up, took the stuck wheel off and freed the stuck shoes off with a hammer

Top guy, he's based in Coventry, runs legal with a tri axle trailer and crew cab pickup & tacho if anyone wants his number, he gets all round the country

I liked my old range rover but this autobiography is on a different level, tech changed a lot between 2006 & 2011, it all works too, no warning lights

Should hopefully have a test on it by the end of the week, it failed (obviously) but not in a dramatic way, discs & pads all round, 2 front brake pipes and a broken rear light

The guy I got it from had already bought a full sent of grooved & vented discs with ceramic pads, they were in the boot.

Full on gangsta spec, black with blacked out windows

Late 2008, early 2009 is when they stepped up a level much more reliable do all your cameras work?

Other than you lose half the boot space and has a 1990s laptop where did they spend £450k development costs?

Does it go around bends any better than your last one?

Thank you, the going through the bends is the only thing that annoys me a little ( coming from a cayenne turbo). Hope it treats your wallet well

There’s a nice looking RR Vogue Supercharged from 2006 on Bonhams Online auction now. It’s at £1600 with a day to go, so could well go cheaply as it has no reserve.
130k miles, clean MOT and the current owner has had it 10 years.

That would be minimum €10,000 all day long here in France.

I hadn't noticed that , they'll be wind deflectors , no idea why anyone would want them

On the QPV, if there is rainwater standing on the roof, and you open a window (for example to listen for traffic when backing out of a driveway), it runs into the car (and especially into the window switch electrics) Very annoying - I have wondered if 'wind' deflectors' might sort that.

Mark, ask your man not to take it out of the coach house early if it is raining or dry the roof before your departure. Simple and better than the smokers wind deflectors!
BTW, the deflectors seem very popular in Japan for some reason.

Anybody looking for a full set of discs & pads for a 4.4TDV8 Or 5.0 supercharged

Grooved ventilated discs & terrafirma ceramic pads, might be pad wear sensors with them but I'd need to check
£200 collected from Warrington as they're like discs off a truck, far too heavy to post
