    If it's switchable by the rider between the modes, without the use of tools, it is illegal for use on public roads according to the DfT. They use the term "off road switch" to describe such methods and they say in their words that they are "strictly forbidden". That clarifying statement was...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They don't owe us anything, our routine payments into the EU budget were not subject to hypothecation. Payments for specific purposes were by legal agreement and we are letting them down by withdrawing unexpectedly. Hence a large part of that £39 billion we are being charged. £11 billion of...

    I'm quite sure that's true, BMW are investing €1 billion in a new car production plant at the city of Debrecen in Hungary. With a capacity of 150,000 cars a year it will be producing both their i.c. and electric models. And in July Jaguar Land Rover, announced it would be opening a technical...

    Same for me, condemned at the outset, but I would never want to be a politician in government anyway. Why volunteer for a job where it's impossible to satisfy more then a tiny minority of the customers and so many of the rest would hate me? .

    I'm pleased that's happening because I don't have a misery agenda. I hope those gains counterbalance any losses. But I think BMW and the Chinese owners of Jaguar reckon, like you, that we probably won't properly leave the EU. .

    We are on a downward path in this respect. It certainly didn't mean what you implied, which was ridiculous, We make Japanese cars, German cars and French cars, but that doesn't imply we become in any way Japanese, German or French, or live like them. Any more than we had to become like...

    UK petition to raise cut-off limit

    You are far from a minority in here Michael, that impression mainly comes from those wanting more speed/power being so vociferous. Those like ourselves who are satisfied with what we have don't have any need to raise the subject. .

    It was a stupid exercise anyway, asking the general public. Obviously those who weren't Tory would rate low. The vote will be of Tory party members where the ratings will be very much higher. .

    UK petition to raise cut-off limit

    They don't because there is no need to. Those who want more power for climbing or fighting headwinds can move to the L1e-A class. That's pedelecs also limited to 15.5 mph but allowed up to 1000 watts rating, plenty to tackle anything. But they have to be registered and insured, though no...

    Nothing needed. Pain is much exaggerated these days, just see the huge fuss people make about having an injection, looking away, yelps, screwed up faces and fists clenched. Kids are even worse, often sobbing or screaming. Yet those same people will pick blackberies and just wince when a thorn...

    We're down to around 2 million now and still falling. Hungary also makes 2 million cars for the EU each year, with a population roughly equal to London's and one sixth of the UK's. They make them far more cheaply. .

    Indeed, I listened to it too. As nine of my posts show I've been backing him from before he was a prospect. Unfortunately such a sensible and capable candidate could only be elected by a sensible majority, and that the Tory party's membership don't have. It's doubtful that even the country...
