I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking the same thing, these are the people who will tip windscreen washer “water” in the engine oil hole and then go “oh no” it won’t start or run properly, better call the recovery company, oh wait I or the wife didn't set up that policy either then call their boss as to why they can’t get to work that day.
 
Then there are the ones who will pay for windscreen wiper replacement. And the rate at which the road surfaces are degrading, we will all need an off road vehicle to use the roads anyway with the potholes around. I’ve lost count the amount of big potholes that I’ve gone through where you’d think, if it was a small car that would do serious damage. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

The supply chain issue has me thinking (a rare event I know). If the supply chain works to get your new expensive car made and works to get it delivered to you, why does it not work to get you a part for your car.
BRITPART must surely see an opportunity here.... 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

That CNN article typifies a lot of the self professing "positive changers" that I have encountered in my life - Generally extremely ugly and judgemental views of what other people find attractive.
If anyone on here wants an EV or a Tesla or whatnot, go for it, I don't like the idea of it all myself, but if it brings you joy to have it, I am not the judge of your enjoyment. Likewise if you like a manual gearbox etc, who the heck should be allowed to judge you for that? I've know people with steam engines for crying out loud!! Why not get some second hand pleasure from their excitement over things? Then again, an article that provokes a reaction, either positive or negative, has probably achieved what it set out to do...

This reminds me when my brother needed some parts for his P38 that he has owned for donkeys years now, it was easier to buy another then cannibalise it for spares. Perhaps JLR will start to do BOGOF deals as sales have dive bombed to help clear stock |
