Not seen one of these for decades (a family friend had a saloon in the 70s) and an estate version is even rarer.

I'm in the wilds of Scotland and stopped at John O Groats yesterday. A couple wanted their photo taking so we obliged and had a chat. They had driven from Worcestershire in an EV, but a dealer courtesy car as their own EV had a major battery issue. I don't know what EV they had, but they were...

I'm currently touring Scotland. Yesterday it was a mid 70s Hillman Imp on the A9, bowling along at about 65mph. Looking how small it was amazing to think some friends with two children would use one for two week summer holidays. Roofrack and cases on roof, but with tens of horsepower amazing...

A mid 70s Capri S in bronze at Hamilton services.

Having seen some analysis it appears to have been a complete and utter mess. Too fast, too high, too slow to react to a disaster unfolding. However no official data has been released, so as yet no indication of any issues with the aircraft which meant trying to land, rather than a go around...

Booked some tickets from New Pudsey to Hull and Chester in October. £4 return and sensible timings.

'76' day yesterday. Only seen one new reg, an Enterprise van hire Transit. The Prelude looks a good car apart from the choice of colours, which is really poor. Honda dealerships are also a rapidly disppearing breed. We had two locally, both have now gone so its a 30 mile round trip.

One from the website above is Wheeldale which I have experienced a lot as its on a back route between Pickering and Whitby which is quieter and more interesting than the main route. It is one of many on the North Yorkshire moors.

Possibly far away due to risk assessment. If a charging EV goes up the last thing you want is a lithium fire next to the expensive real estate which may be full of shoppers who can't escape or be rescued.

Its the middle of the summer holidays and French workers go on holiday too, so it is likely an increase in passengers has coincided with fewer staff. Avoid August is the best advice, simply not worth it.

Easyjet services at LBA are to routes already well served, so no real surprise. Belfast International may be useful for anyone who finds City inconvenient. but is that more than those who don't?

In many, many cases there is no need to take a day off work. The papers arrive, but the court fee is never paid so the case never moves to hearing, for the reasons stated. It costs more for the parking company to attend court than they would win on the day. Serving papers is the last throw of...

Cumbrae is a far simpler vessel than the larger long distance ferries. Upgrades will be far easier.

As they are paper tickets request a receipt at point of purchase.

No surprise. Unless you know the law around private parking and can point out to POPLA exactly how the ticket doesn't meet the requirements of the law you will lose. You then play brinkmanship. A loss at POPLA makes no difference as you can carry on refusing to pay. Wait for Court papers and...

I was in a council car park today and as I walked past the EV spaces a none EV drove in and parked up. It was then I noticed the recharging points have all been removed and a termination box installed. That suggests no demand for charging in that town centre car park, not what I would expect.

I had similar with Zest as they provide full CDW insurance with all bookings. Hired a car in Portugal, someone who couldn't park decided their bumper needed to hit the passenger door as part of the manouver. Reported it, but heard nothing more, no extra charges etc.

I was in NYMR country this weekend. 37 seen in Pickering, 31 in Whitby.

It would make it far easier if you had a credit card. Apply for one today, even if you only use it once for the car hire its a handy piece of plastic to have access to.

You can buy a Senior Railcard in advance online, up to 2 weeks before your 60th birthday, but it will only be valid for travel from your birthday onwards.
