“Cadillac’s modern brand identity is well established”

“Buick becomes the new top-tier luxury brand by default”

But in America they are premium, and the Fords are the slightly…

Then again, the last serious accident any of my vehicles was in was when my car was stationary in the road, and an eight-tonne truck ploughed into the back of my car without noticing - so no braking, or even lifting off the accelerator. My car ended up with the rear pushed up to the B-pillar.

Oh, it’s motor-yanking time, most definitely.

The road wear is the quad power of the axle load.
So distance x (weight/num of axles)^4

1979: 51.6% - 48.4% No change implemented
2016: 51.8% - 48.2% Only 37% of the electorate in favour of the change.

There is no problem with reapplying - except that all existing member states get a veto over new joiners, and the UK has possibly used up all the goodwill held by at least one remaining member.

The people who slow-rolled Brexit were the wing of the Conservative party who claimed they *wanted* Brexit.
Despite the fact the fact that the Government had insisted to the EU that it hd to be one of the hardest forms of Brexit. (So the extremist wing couldn’t even claim it was too soft a Brexit.  Except they still…
