Saw Trevor, Jacko, Lol and Martin last night, along with his fabulous band. An absolute belter of a gig.

Each to their own Tim. Just my personal opinion having driven one. I found them very slow and the charging isn't quick. Also 100 miles..that's an issue. My old 2015 Peugeot 308 2.0 hdi did 74mpg on a run, was £0 road tax and cost £4995. There's the issue. Infrastructure

Also they're awful. Sorry, but they are. I love city cars and especially Pandas, Sanderos etc but you can take cost cutting and frugality to an "extreme" (no pun intended)

I genuinely loved the Montego. I had 3 "Rover" ones, a 1.6L, a 1.6 LX and a 2.0 D SLX. The diesel was ultra reliable, the 2 petrols good to drive but both head gaskets went on them. Inside v refined, great seats, elec sunroof, windows..such a shame they hardly exist anymore.

I'm not a fan of cats being honest (mainly cos I'm really allergic to them) but I'd never ever leave an animal who looked lost or distressed to fend for themselves. It's just about being a good person. Sadly some people shouldn't have animals to look after if they can't look after themselves!

Why would you...
A. Buy a 2 door limo
B. Convert is pointlessly
C. Spend nigh on a million pounds?
Easy solution...buy a 2nd hand rolls Royce...if that's your thing...50k will source a good newish one.
Or if,like me, you're in the bargain basement, a sorted Phaeton 3.0tdi for 5k
