Catching up on the news, stories, and gossip on all my fav site (yes, I know, I could've done this on me N80, but gotta be careful with the ol' download spends ). Interesting comment on the club's site about the new Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005, in particular rules on repairing your car on the roadside. This includes fixing your car outside your house.
The interpretation is that you can't fix your car on the roadside if it's going to take more than 3 days to sort. In which case you either get agreement from the local council, put it in your garage, or pull it onto the driveway.
Classic car owners beware
