By the pricing of the fuel, maybe?

Or nozzle size and shape?

I visited the show on Friday and I did notice it was not as busy as it usually is. I presumed it was because it was Friday. An exhibitor who I have purchased from before was not there, he was telling me they are charging nearly double what they were charging before Covid so it makes it difficult to ...

I suppose the answer is to have good roads to all major towns with huge park and rides with a constant stream of trams or buses to the centre. Also all towns should have a good ring road or bypass so vehicles have no need to enter. The only vehicles aloud to enter towns would be resisdents and deliv...

I recently had to use a bus to get to Oxford, its about 15 miles and it was £2. The journey took 45 mins so about twice as long as using the car with similar traffic conditions and I had a lift to the bus stop to save me a 25 min walk to the bus stop. I did not have to pay £5 an hour to park the car...

I do like a late Zodiac, my Dad had one new in 1969, he did like it but being Silver the lacqeur peeled of after it was 18 moths old. Ford had no interest in repairing it as it was only a 12 month warranty in those days. He sold it and never bought a Ford again.

Unless they can come up with a way of extending the range and recharge time the way we use cars is going to change. At the moment we can travel big distances over a relatively short period, potentially this is going to stop. Maybe longer distances will be on public transport and we hire an electric ...

I always wanted a Corvette until I drove one, it was a big shock how crude a driving experience it was.

I think they need to be at least Historic or if not something of interest.

What a great idea Zac, even if it was a Pub meet or a day trip to somewhere. I expect we would get some great cars to attend.

Maybe I should bring mine and if Grant comes he can bring his.

I drove an Interceptor a few years ago with a Rover V8 and Manual 5 speed box, it was siginificantly lighter and went up the road OK but it was missing something. It just didnt sound right or had the torque of a big block, it was more like driving a big engined Capri, the owner was claiming mid 20's...

I did my Parcel shelf last week, looks much better than having a crack near the hinges. Steve

Best concentrate less on the financial value and focus instead on enjoying our classics. That's what they were built for after all - only the manufacturer built them to make money. Well put Richie, cars are to be driven and enjoyed. Drive them while we still can with minimal restrictions. Personall...

A good friend of the wife has a Jaguar I Pace, £80k of battery technology and is an amazing thing. She has had it for two years but its going. For work it just about does but anything else and it gets left at home and she uses an ICE Car. The advertised range is 300 miles, in the 30k miles she has h...

The range above 250k is still in good shape because people buying cars for that amount of money don't have these issues. Witness a Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 that sold recently for over £596,000. Apparently earning the auction house £66,000 :shock: :shock: . Nice work if you can get it. Yes a new r...
