I charged the car last January just before a run out and even at 100% charge it estimated a mere 185 miles range. As it happened, I wasn't going anything like that far so it wasn't a worry. This is in the far North of Scotland, and at one point on my journey that day the car recorded the outside...

Excellent pizza. They also have another outlet in Aviemore...

The map says that charger is a 22kW one. No mention of a 100kW charger at Tomatin; it's at Culbokie, north of Inverness, not far from the A9 bridge over the Cromarty Firth.

Mostly safe but on rare occasions not so good. I charged the car last January just before a run out and even at 100% charge it estimated a mere 185 miles range. As it happened, I wasn't going anything like that far so it wasn't a worry. This is in the far North of Scotland, and at one point on...

I'm happy for you, really. I know how great it is to have hassle-free motoring. Personally, I've only ever owned one Skoda, and that for only 40,000 miles, because of:- A randomly sticking clutch pedal so sometimes it took ages to change gear ("Yeah, well, mate, we know what that is - it's a...

So you paid for a new car but it's not legally yours. OK, fine. Anyway, perhaps you'd be interested in this bridge I have for sale...

Third annual service and first MOT the other week. As before, friendly, hassle free and everything they said they'd do, they did. All very easy and straightforward. Just as it should be.

"What have you got, that's lasted you for years and years" I've got the same withering contempt for corrupt hypocritical politicians, devious lying advertisers, oily tabloid jounalists, self-righteous religious bigots and other associated grifters that I first acquired as a teenager. Still...

Basically, the auto industry is only making the same switch that every other company in Britain has been doing in recent years. They're moving out of selling products and transferring into pushing debt.

Three days ago. Beinn Eighe, seen from across Loch Coulin. 21°C. Here in Scotland, summer was on a Saturday this year...

Evidently some weird new usage of the word lucky of which I was previously unaware. (ex-Skoda owner, only recently back on solid food...)

"Why did you go electric?" Simple really. Once I'd seen several Daily Mail and Daily Express articles saying how bad EVs were, it was obvious that getting one was the right move.

Don't know anything about Hyundai, but my experience as a former Skoda owner is that the servicing is excellent. But that's only because the garages get A LOT of practice dealing with Skoda faults...

Yes, you can always tell Yorkshire folk. But you can't tell them much....

"...and in other news, since losing her seat at the General Election, we ask "whatever happened to Liz Truss?" Well, our reporter caught up with her earlier today at her new job in global cyber-security, and this is what Liz had to say. Oh, sorry, we seem to be having some trouble bringing you...

Ah yes, politics. A word that's derived from the Ancient Greek. "Poly" meaning many and "Tics" meaning blood-sucking lice.

He went on to say that the Earth is flat and formica is edible...

And this is the view from the same spot looking the other way...

The car is one of the dots (white) slightly below and left of centre - that's the car park below Stac Pollaidh, north of Ullapool. Taken at the end of April.

I played the trade in game with a car dealer (not MG) some years back. He said he'd consider part exchange of our old car, but refused to make an offer. "Well, tell me what you think it's worth", he said. "Hmm. Well, it was bought brand new, we've been the only owners. It's got a documented...
