I was driving my old MGB the other day when I got the strong smell of petrol in the car and the she suddenly cut out. When I managed to free wheel it down Barry Rd to Kevin (highly recommend mechanic for classic cars) he quickly figured out that it was out of petrol - turns out that someone had cut the fuel pipe under the car in order to siphon out the petrol the night before. Kevin mentioned that another classic car owner in ED had petrol siphoned from his car in the same week.


I think these clowns are stealing petrol from old cars because they usually don't have alarms - the f*ckers!

Who says old MG's don't have alarms... mine does (and bizarely Central locking too... not bad for a 72 car...)


It is more likely they are stealing from old cars because the fuel lines are easier to get to then modern ones... that said I am sorry to hear that you had your car vandalised and your petrol stolen like that... could be quite dangerous if you were just about to pull out in a tight space on a busy road...


Thank you for bringing this to peoples attention, I hope you reported it to the police and that someone catches the idiots who are doing this (thinks good firm kicking would be too light a punishement for anyone who damaged my old girl)



Glad Kevin was able to assist and hopefully it won't happen again.

    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
