If that's not a suggestion to impart a veiled threat I don't know what is! :lol:
It reminds me of the veiled threat Mr Tickle from Mr Tickle's sweet shop used to shout after me and my brother when we were nippers for sneaking extra gobstoppers out of the vending machine outside his shop; 'I know where yuuz live ye little bastids!'
I took great pleasure in reminding my brother of my more efficient getaway speed by virtue of having a larger back wheel and 3 gears on my Raleigh Chopper compared to his Budgie.
:evil: :rofl:
Any suggestion like "i know where you live' etc would be considered blackmail, threatening with menaces or extortion at the very least, sure poster isnt serious but just in case....

Yep, lucky escape there, hidden past. Forget and move on. Just a shame that some other poor sod’s going to get caught.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

It wouldn't happen to be a Silver Grey one advertised recently by a fellow member would it?

Is it Red?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold

There we go, the other one wasn't meant to be, you now have a really nice one by the sound of it. Really pleased for you. :thumbsup:

In a world of mobile phones and CCTV many things that were 'hard to prove' are frequently exposed by social media etc. When I had a joyrider in my zed I went to see legal and mentioned I should tell him I want my money back or i will send the dash cam footage to police, he warned me immediately that it could be seen as blackmail....
A sad world we live in today really......

Yes, I remember the thread, I'm afraid that is where our personalities differ as I would not have let that lie. We all deal with things in different ways though.
