I remember my mouth falling open when I found out a school friend had an A305.

I'd only ever seen an Archimedes in Acorn User and then there one was in the flesh. Magic!

Sigred likes nothing more than a warm pub and getting... hissed.

That's means they'll be lots of perfectly working cars for cheap. People will catch on to that soon enough.

What is it that you know about the battery life?

After 200,000 miles the battery should be at 70% of the original range and now they can swap out just the bad cells so you don't have to replace the whole battery.

There's a Tesla taxi at Gatwich with over 300,000 miles at 82%.

Seems pretty good.

I have a 10 year old diesel and don't drive much.
It's pretty cheap to tax at £20 a year and pretty cheap to run.

My next car will almost certainly be a BEV but it's a question of when. At the rate I use it, my car might last me another 10 years.

Right now there's EVs I like but they're expensive.

Yeah from TV it looked a bit touch and go from the first angle but was definitely on side when seen from sideline. Lino got it bang on. #itfc

When we get told that taxes have to rise or public sector workers can't have a pay rise just remember it's because this lot took the money.

I'd like to see an interview point this out next time the Tories are handing out advice on the economy.

That would be former Tory MP John Penrose, a guy who voted in favour of changing lobbying rules after his mate & fellow Tory MP Owen Paterson got fingered for falling foul of the existing ones by lobbying for...wait for it...the aforementioned...Randox, for whom Paterson was a paid consultant.
