Which NHS would that be? Is it your Welsh NHS, our English one or the Scottish one? ;) .

It was no mistake, he knew full well the consequences but with his usual disregard for anyone or anything other than his own momentary self interest, he went ahead anyway. How you can constantly defend this vile apology for a human being is beyond me. And you are wrong that there had to be a...

The DUP trouble that has led to this is entirely Boris's fault. He promised Northern Ireland that there would be no border between the UK and N.I., then accepted an agreement with the EU that made one inevitable and permanent. That is completely unacceptable to DUP unionism, something they'd...

You need to get used to it, it's all part of a process that will eventually return us to the EU, sadder, wiser and worse off. The really sad thing at present is Brexit itself and the huge and permanent harm it's done. .

There's far worse, the worst coffee I've ever had was at a motorway McDonalds. I left it and went without. I'm very rarely a tea drinker. .

A very stupidly made point showing his deliberate anti e-car bias. Clearly he's what is described as a petrol-head in the Jeremy Clarkson mould, a yesterday man. E-cars have been an unexpected big success in the USA, especially in California, leaving Tesla now as the currently the world's...

Certainly not here, it's the opposite now. Initially overselling the very short range Leaf resulted in lots of early selling them at huge loss, but over the last four years the reverse has happened. Almost universally all UK e-car owners say they will never go back and second hand prices have...

The one thing e-power has exposed is that all motor sport is really a sonic experience even more than a visual one. I'd go as far as to say that a blind person at a Formula one race would have far more excitement and enjoyment than a totally deaf person watching it. .

Not the Pop from Ford, that was the Ford Popular, a down market one from the Prefect and Anglia. I've always ignored the Ford engined Morgan 3 wheeler as not being a proper Morgan 3 wheeler at all, just a car with a wheel missing. .

What a stupid anti e-car article, I quote from it: "In roughly three minutes, you can fill the gas tank of a Ford Mustang and have enough range to go about 300 miles with its V8 engine. But for the electric Mustang Mach-E, an hour plugged into a household outlet gave Bloomberg automotive...

Not all Morgans had the J.A.P. engine though, there were the Matchless engined ones, MX2 air cooled and the best one, the MX4 water cooled. I always though the Brough Superior with the MX2 engine was the best one too. However I don't like the sound of any of the V twins, or American V8s, or...

Not just those, it's chalk and cheese, there's no comparison. Plug in hybrids have all the IC maintenance costs in addition, that makes no sense at all. Add 150 mpg for Royal Mail e-vans, cutting their fuel costs by 80%, and e-vans are the only way to go for them. .

Just look at the fuel and high maintenance costs of hybrids, even their relatively new vans will soon be on the second hand market or scrap heap. Royal Mail pure e-vans will save them a fortune. .

I think an important factor is that Toyota are very strong in third world markets where the electric infrastructure is poor, making their IC side very important for a long time yet. But I'm sure they'll also be no sluggard with pure e-cars as 2030 approaches. .

Yes, the roads in Dorset are far, far better than ours in London. .

That's a historic view though, now that all vans are available fully electric with day long batteries. Such use is perfect for e-vans, silent, much quicker acceleration and motor braking. You might be staggered at how quickly they are being adopted. Amazon have a large and rapidly growing...

Fortunately that's happening already with e-cars, my latest Nissan Leaf has much quieter tyre treads and even a great reduction in noise generated by air disturbance, so called wind noise. It shows that the general noise of IC cars has been stopping that progress while it remained a lesser...

I'm sure Toyota will recover their position very quickly, for any existing car maker e-cars are incredibly easy to bring to the market, the main car makers are bringing in ranges with astonishing rapidity. I believe hybrid makes no sense whatsoever now, virtually all mass use of IC engines has...

I agree on the appeal of racetrack sound and the sound character of some road cars, but as you've noted, the excess noise doesn't stay on the race track. There's the idiots who bang rods through their silencers. There's the very early morning clatter of cold diesel cars starting up. There's...

Extract: “Volvo have set the ambitious goal to have electric trucks account for half of their sales in Europe by 2030. The three new heavy-duty trucks they are now launching mark a giant step towards reaching this target.” The news comes after Mercedes-Benz Vans announced it will expand...
