Traders angry with plans for a residents' parking zone in Bristol have driven a 1942 Sherman tank around the streets of Clifton in protest.

Mayor George Ferguson wants to roll out the city-wide scheme to deter commuter parking on residential streets.

Organiser Tony Miles said they had chosen a tank because it represented a way of "defending your territory".

On learning about the protest, Mr Ferguson tweeted: "This is getting ridiculous".

They're doing it wrong. Tanks in parking disputes are supposed to go over parked cars. Haven't they ever seen a movie?

One of two decaying Jaguar E-Type sports cars that have spent the last 40 years rotting in a barn. The classic vehicles are expected to fetch £16,000 each when they go under the hammer at Bonhams later this year

Cars, to me, are simply a means to an end. I don't criticise those who love them in their own right but I am at a loss to understand why the auctioneers expect them to fetch £16,000 ($27,000).
There doesn't seem to be a lot left on which to base a restoration job. The bodywork appears, to my untrained eye, to be pretty much beyond redemption. The engine and gear box might well be in a reasonable state, but I wonder if the reason that they were banished to a barn in the first place was because of some massive engine or transmission failure.

Perhaps one or other of the Cellar's resident car buffs can enlighten me. Over to you...

Vehicle Identification Plate, everything else can be replaced, then sell it for $100,000.

Now there's a thought:)

That's THE thought. The people that drag barn finds to light and restore them, are not automobile-altruistic. Well maybe a little, but they do this to grab the big bucks some people will pay to collect them.

Ronald McDonald got all cool and shit.

See, Shawnee, I've seen a picture of you.
I know you don't have hair or make- up like that.
So I don't feel the need to point out that the "home dyed barnet/ put my lipstick on in a moving car" look is more shit than cool.

But then I thought I'd mention it anyway, in case someone less savvy than you took that picture as an endorsement.

Actually, I think I have had that hair colour...
Shit.
