There's a lot to unpack there? 😄

Most middle earners in any westernised country will argue the same, the US tried to address this as one of their concerns and voted in the Orange Baby . Look how well that's going ! Too many countries are carrying too much unsustainable debt and passing the buck down the line to the next...

You could always buy an overpriced HS2 ticket for part of your journey , from somewhere you did not want to set off from to somewhere you did not want to go! Of course part of that ticket would be tax.

Sounds like its a Sunday afternoon on your back with the car up on some ramps and poking and prodding around. Please report back , we do like a mystery .

What did Kwik Fit find?

Most likely a stone caught up between the disc and its guard. Point kwik fit in that direction?

Some it appears, live with their heads in the clouds and thus defy the laws of gravity. ☁️☁️

Apart from hiring ex SAS members to protect you from the oil and energy companies. Like David Niven and his white suit. You could offset those expenses from copyright incomes. 😬

High tension overhead cables are made of an aluminium alloy ( but they are stiff, inflexible ) . There must be an alternative to high value copper , I am not up to date on my metallurgy knowledge but a flexible aluminium based cable would seem to be the way to go. An alternative would be to have...

You do realise that a future government is going to use AI to find out the level of opposition to its policies and these replies on this and other forums and ideas proposed to moderate / approve its actions will affect its decision making. .......( we have found around 65% of EV owners are not...

Welcome , again excellent colour, both a pleasure ( look at me , jealous? ) and a curse . The other day a pukey orange Smart 3 Brabus just had to overtake me , in a stupid manoeuvre, just to prove a point! Ah well , that's where the Ex BMW crowd are heading. Grrrr. it was impressive though!

Other roads are available. I have spent 0 euros in the last 12000 kms on tolls.:cool:

No ones mentioned hybrids , will they have a pro-rata amount for the "electric miles " they have travelled.?

It was always a privilege to listen to some one who would put his knowledgeable views across in an ardent but balanced and non hysterical fashion ready to counter any opposing argument with provable well researched facts . As above RIP.

The wheels and tyres might be perfectly balanced ..... but are the plastic wheel trims ? There might be a few examples which have thicker plastic at one edge and that becomes noticeable at higher speeds. Try driving at highway speeds with them removed and see if there is a difference.

We have pay per mile here , in a different format. Our home electricity taxes are a lot higher , around 40% for my bill this year , so every mile , or every KW 40% goes to the taxman. Mind you , we have kilometres so that reduces it a bit? :sleep: On night time tariff that works out at about...

Thank you to Google for the correct interpretation and to Everest for prodding me in the right direction , and apologies to all the old pronnies everywhere who are as confused as myself. Apparently, I was supine, when someone's little treasure aka : thieving little git , took off with the best...

My first car ( Morris Marina ) had grease nipples on all the suspension linkages, (what happened to them) and you could spend a happy hour with the car driven up on a house brick under each wheel squirting in a dollop of grease with a grease gun. Well, you could until some little 5 year old...

Good question, do they even have a starter motor? guess they must , for when the battery is on 0% . Or is there always a large bottom buffer in the battery below the 0% level to get it moving at traffic lights etc. I'm now waiting for all the "bottom buffer " puns....😬🌝🧻

I might be with Rolfe with this , even though it does not concern me, It could be the classic, come out with a controversial scheme . get everyone heated up . including ICE drivers , introduce other hidden less radical tax , but just as profitable revenues then drop the original scheme to the...
