--- Quote from: Cerebus on July 13, 2022, 04:37:27 pm --- The MOT is, if done properly, quite extensive and takes an absolute minimum of half an hour, ties up a rolling road brake tester, an actual exhaust gas analyser (none of this "what does the ODBII port say" rubbish), light alignment analyser and lift while it's being done. --- End quote --- Same here. |

Bloody scandalous is the murder of our car manufacturing industry. --- End quote --- Most of it actually deserved it. |

We did at one time have an industry that was highly prized, but we got complacent and let the world overtake us instead of making them play catchup. |

Being complacent, incompetent, bureaucratic sell outs is our national pastime. May have been using Mullard smartphones if we weren’t so good at that! I have this world in my head of a British dystopian parallel 2022 where we had stuff like that with some 1960s anachronistic technology and impracticality applied to it. For example drunk chavs tumbling out of a brown Vauxhall Chevette limousine. |

I had a Corsa for a couple of weeks as a loaner from the garage a few years back. Horrible car; if you tried to pivot between the accelerator and brake, as recommended by most driving instructors, your foot crashed into the side of the brake and you had to lift another 4-6 inches to get onto the brake - potentially lethal in my opinion. On the other hand I had a Cavalier 2.0 SRi as a company car back in the middle of the 80s and that wasn't bad at all, no real vices, reliable, decent handling compared to most other rep-mobiles, comfortable, nothing special but nothing to really moan about. |
