Europe wants Airbnb and pals to cough up rental property logs

when air bnb was rent out your couch or spare room occasionally then this was fine these days it's full to the brim with stnadard hotels and other professional landlords with multiple properties all avoiding having to declare any of that income as 'rental' because nothing regulates this part of the private transaction arrangement which was the original air bnb model.

this is what happens when you follow the money, they are just a glorified booking.com these days...

Re: Thunderbolt !

I was going to say if you're a BDC member you can NOT NOT be aware of Thunderbolt or Graham Moss and his record braking attempts.

There's also David Llewellyn's Napier Bentley which has it's own wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier-Bentley

Chris Williams another BDC member also built the 1,500 bhp Packard Bentley
