's a fact ........ with their track record they should all be parking in designated, firewalled bays surrounded by high pressure water jets that go off at the slightest whiff of smoke/rise in temperature

I hear that the logistics company storing elec cars at Upper Heyford are renting the bomb bunkers for safe storage..

had to do a double take.

Starting at £60000!!! For a 2.5 tonne gross van with a 1 tonne payload. That doesn’t even exist yet.

Seems to be the pricing for everything these days, had a look at a tge the other day, on their configurator and it's similar once you tick a few options that iszuz that someone posted about seems to be a bargain at sub 30

Bruntingthorpe used to be full at the bottom end with tractor units and trailers, Gti International show was held there for a few years.

Seen here giving a 1.8t audi a run for its money in my 1.3 Polo G40



Rockingham motor speedway was also a decent race circuit (apart from faulty stands) but was closed down and bought by Cinch/webuyanycar for car storage
