@Joshua Slocum the scrapyard vid in your OP reminded me of that scene in the Italian Job when the mafia guys smash up some nice motors (I was pleased to discover later that they were only scrap shells). But what sort of an arrogant prick is the owner? He’s got a motor which he knows is dodgy and he parks it on the pavement outside the court.
very arrogant, think aspiring rapper, he is dodgier than a dodgy thing
the Times reported his case with tongue in cheek, I presume that when it gets kicked out of court a great deal more previous would show up, in all honesty its unlikely to be the origional car, more likely a stolen one with swapped parts, and proving what belongs to what would take so long, the insurance companies are also likely to be happier with it out of the way, it sends out a message a very clear one
and the fact that you can buy a Kosher Jam Jar from one of Londons Top dealers for far less money tells you he is hookey
