*most people* don't want a plumber to be interesting. They want someone 'professional'-someone who will turn up on time, do the job properly, and not leave a mess behind them.
Someone who drives a shonky old van is bound to break down on the way, arrive late, and leave oil all over your driveway. They'll probably use pipes and fittings from the fifties, which will leak, will suggest you have your new toilet installed outside, and will tell you avocado is the new black.
If you want a job where customers value (or even put up with) your individuality, it isn't plumbing.
Have you considered a hearse? One of the few vehicles you could get lengths of copper pipe inside, instead of on the roof.

It's an expensive badge, the sole purpose of which is to show other people that you can afford an expensive badge.
Stupid vanity.

I don't know if you know - but after I told you, you'll know - it was all caused by bacterial infection of the immersion baths when they changed to the new paints. There's a dissertation here which goes into big detail: elib.uni-stuttgart.de/opus/volltexte/2000/653/pdf/diss_guehring.pdf - the solution was to renew them more frequently and monitor them better. As some were only randomly monitored for bacterial growth. But basically: that's the cause: bacteria J Some cars went through old baths, some through newly filled (uncontaminated) ones... Who would have thought there's life in - erm - paint... Your post is the most interesting thing I've read today; I'd assumed it was cost cutting, not angry germs! Just a shame the linked document is in German!

...in the US a very common 944 swap is to use the LS1-7 V8 motors...everything in kit form to make that a weekend swap...but LS motors here are a small fortune... Sounds like the basis for the best road trip ever.

Well it is currently on a Rolls! Lol If they use a Rolls, I hope they fit steels with chrome trims. Alloys on a Roller: wrong

As a precaution when I'm out in the car I always follow Chris around. I only take the bare necessities with me in my transit

Golf Mk3 and new Polo. When I had a MK3, 10 years ago, it seemed like quite a big car. Certainly in comparison to a MK2.

I would say 99% of the problem is the fact you are using an unsuitable subwoofer that isn't made to be used for loud music in a car set up. Probably. But using one meant to work in a car would have cost me more than £5! Are you using RCA leads or taking the feed from the speakers? Have you ran the power lead and RCA lead down the same side if the car? Is the earth lead the same gauge as the power lead? If your taking the feed from your speakers and have run power and RCA`s down the same side and your earth lead is a diffrent gauge from the power than thats half your problem. RCA feed from the subwoofer output on the stereo, power feed and earth are the same gauge running alongside the speaker wire. I should have remembered from reading Max Power 20 years ago that you should always keep the power and signal wires well away from each other (that's where most of my 'ICE' knowledge comes from!). They do, but they are designed to run from clean regulated 12v, not the mega noisy 11-15v car environment so a lot of stuff doesn't work well or last long. I suspected it might be something like that. So either I stump up some extra cash for something meant to work in a car, or live with it. Or, I could play music which drowns it out. Thanks for the replies; I think I'll just turn it up until I don't notice it anymore!

Being a cheapskate, I've put a subwoofer meant for using with a computer in my car.
As soon as you put the power on, if it's turned up beyond half volume it goes wub-wub-wub. It's far less pronounced when you put on music without much bass. Is there an obvious cause for this? It happens with or without the engine on.

Not all popo are mardy bums... Of course they're not. Unfortunately, being on the 'front line' is no longer a career option. So the people we deal with day to day are the ones who aren't good enough to get promoted to anything else; there aren't many Tony Stamps in real life. Doff your hat, apologise, go home feeling smug that you haven't got a ticket for your big wheels/flamey exhaust/whatever, while he's at home explaining to his wife how it's never happened before.

I would like to get one in this country but they're rare. Not that rare, if you want a new one. This place is just up the road from me: link

I had both of them-I even managed to not lose the little blue man from the DB5.

The pictures really don't do these justice. The edges are so sharp. Saw one yesterday in a car park, and in a row of moderns it looked like something from another planet.

Have you had a look in the 'readers other modifications' forum here? Quite a few garages, with a range of sizes and budgets.

Leave it off. It's only there to stop people who take their car to a garage to get the screenwash topped up from getting frightened if they open the bonnet.
