We can walk into town in 15 minutes + we will be 76 & 77 years of age by then so my petrolhead days would surely have gone by then !  Bothered not..😄

You might be able to now. Just wait til the old knees go, then it gets a fickin sight harder.  I'm, fortunately ok at the moment but SWMBO's legs have deteriorated over the last few years due to various mobility issues.    Stay fit.

If all cars do become electric, and therefore become an appliance like a washing machine, I will look forward to when all cars become self-driving.

Yes.....I know we have to save the planet but can't that be achieved by sticking a cork up the arse of all the cows.  *


* The same applies to northern whippet owners.

Our little island contributes something like 1% of global emissions, so it's no more than gesture politics.

I shall need to check. 1% is SFA.

Just checked, 1.1%.
So we won't be saving any polar bears.

Had my knees sorted in 2002 , the consultant said that they were in a real mess & I could have ended up in a wheelchair, both replaced & never looked back. Make an effort to walk at least an hour every day & used to swim most days before the lockdown. My missus is just as fit as me if not fitter, my old man is nearly 90 & still going strong mother died last year she was 92.👍

hate to tell you this, but cars became appliances(and not richmen's toys) when they became affordable, usable, practical and reliable. That was in 1908 with the Model T Ford.


The vast majority of car owners would prefer them to be appliances in the manner of washing machines because then they wouldn't have to maintain them, clean them, or spend any money on them from one year to the next. When was the last time you heard anybody wittering on about how their Acme Aardvark ABC123 Washmatic GTi makes a lovely noise or is such a stylishly sleek looking machine in its custom Glacier Ultra Diamond White finish?

I'm still on the originals at the moment.   They are now over 75 so will have to see how they go.

I wonder what the odds are for Wee Krankie announcing in the near future that new ICE cars will be banned in Scotland from 2029?

Even in 2020 cars can have a soul so long as they have an engine that runs on petrol and makes a good noise. Obviously any car that runs on dumper truck fuel is merely 'an appliance' designed to get be a man from A to B.

It's all part of the World Economic Forum masterplan...

Unless Farage is the next PM, it will be whomever can tell us what to do in a reasonable voice.

Way I see it, the lockdowns are being used to beat small businesses into submission and unemployed people in debt are alot easier to control than people with hope

It's printed on the inside of tin-foil hats.

Well.... There is a World Economic Forum video doing the rounds that starts "In the future you will own nothing and you will be happy..... "

Glad you put that emoji at the end. Listen to it

Nope, it's a thing and hopefully we will all be dead before it happens...

No, it's not a 'thing', it's a load of windbags spouting off. And if we're all gonna be  dead anyway, not really much point on wasting your time even thinking about it.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Here it is! 

The future looks and sounds lovely!    You will own nothing and you vill be happy! 

Probably because the Covid vaccine you had also erased your memories of car and property ownership etc, so that you will be satisfied with the New Normal     

Any way that's enough seditious stuff from me as the Labour Party want to criminalise anti-vax talk, and are saying we need a new law to force social media companies to censor such views!
