Just been watching an old TG the one with the Koenigsegg CCX from back in 2006.(and yes there is one for sale currently at £1.9m)

The Koenigsegg hit 60 in 3.8 seconds, not too shabby now let alone in 2006....but today my neighbour bought a Kia EV6 and was telling me the GT model could hit 60 in 3.2 seconds....in a Kia for gawds sake!

Soon it seems everyone and your gran will be driving very quietly at speeds previously unheard of.

A while ago there was a movement that was hi lighting the pollution from tyre debri on the roads.

How will Khan tax that one?

That reminds me, I haven't had my movement yet this morning.

Read last week that emissions from log burners has now overtaken that of the entire road network, I guess just stop oil protesters will soon start blocking flues.

Reminds me, has our friend had his morning movement yet?

Our open fire puts out quite a bit of smoke. I like to think of it as releasing the carbon previously captured by trees, for new trees to absorb.
It's the particulates from open fires and log burners that they're getting upset about - difficult to tax those however...

I'm sure they're working on it.
It'll be introduced as a part of the Euro1984 initiative.

And thanks for the concerns, I'm working on it too.

Hah!!! Bsds will sure find a, way . They will just tax houses where log burners exist and hav a nice fat fine for not declaring it.
Like to see that tried in France!
Let's go to parliament and confiscate all cars that don't rtn 60mpg! And make rates on square mtre of accommodation. Those in small places pay little or none.
The UK is a very uneven place for wealth distribution. Not that I want the idle to liv for free.

Simple question re ; braking, suspension. When a vehicle has so much acceleration and weight. For safety reasons to protect the incumbent and surrounding population braking and suspension must be something akin to super car safety ?.
