I used to get that with my old 12valve manual Carlton GSI. You could see them look in the mirror and think " thats old, its not getting past me" and then I was in the distance in front of them, gone

What's a DH40?
Its a Nissan Navara D40 pick up
Towing that back home with the Vivaro was far nicer
As nice as the D40 is, being a Tekna speced one, the Vivaro is so much a better drive

Loaded my Bus onto a trailer to drag it all the way up to Wolverhampton in the morning to get the gearbox rebuilt by the TVP (Tragic/Vivaro/Primastar) specialist. Then back home again with "it" dragging the trailer with the D40 on it. D40 is so juicy, worse than an Omega!

I saw a plastic pig in Exeter the other day. First time I've seen one on the road for ages.
On reason they are a very rare sight on the roads nowdays is that most of them are being sent around the shale and tarmac ovals of the country being banger raced.
Its amazing to see what spees are possible without the tipping over after seeing just how sedatly they were driven on the roads

I had to do that for my late mothers estate. I did the probate myself with excellent help from the probate service over the phone
Applied and granted within six weeks
Now the estate agents dealing with the property, that was a completly differant scenario althogther

has anyone seen the report that one US state is to ban the sale of EV vehicles from 2035?
It is said to be a snipe at California
Or am I behind the loop on this one?
I usually am
