Once they've cleared existing stock, you won't see many new '73 plate Model 3's for a while. They've paused production, while the factory lines are being converted to build the new Model 3. (note: the UK gets all its Model 3's and Y's from Shanghai, China) The same will happen with the Model Y...

Well, yachts with full and fin keels enter the marina lock at that point. Southampton Water provides a maintained depth of not less than 12.6 metres chart datum up to the marina’s entrance channel. The lock is then approached by a well-marked short channel that has a maintained depth of 1.5...

That's when the official HS2 project was first initiated. HS2 was conceived a few years earlier, in the mid noughties, as an extension of a WCML route study that went on to thoroughly investigate the future capacity challenges for primarily the WCML, but expanded to consider if the proposed...

Could they use the pontoon just outside the lock entrance to Hythe Marina? .

Southampton has 5 Cruise terminals. The official terminal parking is provided by the port authority, ABP. There are a few off site companies providing parking, but I couldn't suggest or recommend any of them.

When I had to regularly travel up from the South coast to the NW (at least 5 or 6 times a year), I would always use the M6 Toll 100% of the time. M40 - M42 - M6 Toll - M6 is such a natural route and everyone I know uses, or used to use this, in preference to battling around Brum on the M6 or...

That's because Tata are rebranding and re-positioning Jaguar in the car marketplace. Jaguars attempt to compete in the executive sector, against the likes of Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Lexus, have not been very successful, in terms of volume. Sales of the company's XE and XF saloon cars had...

There's the new (all electric) Fiat 500, sold alongside the (2007) ICE Fiat 500. They are completely different cars (the new electric model sits on an all-new EV platform), although visually similar in design. The electric 500 is slightly larger in L x W x H and has a number of subtle design...

VW are beginning to back pedal on a lot of these issues. They sacked the previous group CEO and the new guy has ordered prompt action to change course. The ID3 has been facelifted and refreshed, 3 years earlier than in the normal product cycle, even if the user interface replacement won’t appear...

To be fair to them, the fit and finish has gradually been improved and the Shanghai built cars, which is what we’ve been getting here in the UK for nearly the last 2 years, are far better built than the earlier (chrome trim) Model 3’s that were imported from California. The facelifted new Model...

The news out of VW is being misrepresented in the MSM. BEV car sales in Germany are starting to lift of from their steady growth, towards the exponential curve upwards. So how come VW are having a problem with demand? Is it largely down to the bad publicity (justifiable) surrounding the poor...

What on earth are “normal people”? Jaguar in the last 15+ years have been competing in the so called “executive” market and vacated the “luxury” sector many years ago. Their relatively unsuccessful XE and XF saloon cars are meant to be competitors for the likes of the BMW 3 Series and 5 Series...

9020 was installed in 1974/75 and went operational in late 1975. Initially all it did was process and disseminate flight plan data. The system that ran on it, NAS (National airspace system) was heavily evolved over the years and was re- hosted off 9020, onto a new system in the mid 1990’s. NAS...

The plans for the redevelopment of T2, involve more than doubling the terminal building in size and internally remodelling the original part of the terminal. The extension work has largely been completed, with the remaining internal remodelling work currently ongoing. The first new T2 pier has...

Apparently, the new, temporary CEO of Coutts has made personal contact with Farage. All his accounts remain open, which he has thanked him for. He has also served, or is about to serve a legal notice requesting/ demanding formal apologies, recompense for his already large legal costs in dealing...

Nigel Farage has been mentioning the issue of de-banking for quite some time, before he broke the news of his personal difficulties, the other week. He’s also been warning about the risks of a digital currency, which amongst other dangers, would make not only de-banking, but de-monetising a real...

The few millions you are talking about, still represent a minority percentage of the population. A scheme to provide dental cover for those who can’t afford the modest insurance premiums, would be more affordable than a one size fits all approach. As for the general point, alternatives to...

Almost all dentists can offer you a dental care plan, from on of the main providers. Our practice uses Denplan. The monthly payments are not that expensive and cover 6 monthly check-ups, including additional hygienist treatment. Most remedial and repair work is included, up to the more expensive...

To put those 3 major disasters into some sort of context. We’ve had over 60 years experience with nuclear power plants and nearly 40 years experience, since Chernobyl. There are approximately 440 commercially active reactors, currently supplying electricity around the world, in addition to...

In general that appears to be true. The Green Party have become another focal point for the fringe and what is often derided as the “loony left”, to coalesce around. In essence, they’ve been allowed to become a joke party, rather than any sort of credible political movement.
