  1. I'd guessed at the #Seat #Leon involved in the recentserious / #fatal #collision with a #taxi at #Bolton #GreaterManchester (4 fatalities, 4 injured across both vehicles) being #modified (ambient light pack isn't stock for that era of car (2013))

    Not sure if journos are 100% correct, car from RTC registered as bog standard 1.2 TSI (which *would* likely make 122 mph on stage 2 remap, even stock motor can reach those speeds if pushed), figures quoted are more for Cupra Leon with EA888 engine.

    There is also a post from the tuners (one was deceased lads brother, and had warned him not to drive too fast!) with details of mosque and their funeral arrangements.

    May Allah (swt) have mercy upon their souls..

  2. [Not very] Clean Air Zone proposal accepted.

    Initial quick reaction: In another bad decision from the government, the GMCA (not very) Clean Air Zone proposal has been accepted.  This was what the previous government sat on for three years. #GreaterManchester will be the only major city in the country without a proper clean air zone, its citizens condemned to breathe the #particulates and #NOx spewed by private cars and commercial vehicles
