Mother knocks on bathroom door “Bob, what are doing in there?”

I thought as much - thanks.  The worst we get where I live is occasional black ice.

I guessed that might be the case, thanks.

I’ve never known this to happen here in Australia.  Maybe they make the roads in a way to be prepared for that type of heat here, which makes sense.

I first saw Gumball Rally when it was released in the cinema when I was six. Unsurprisingly, the bloke mooning out the car window is what stuck with me.

All I really need is Le Mans.  Also, while technically not a car film, Senna.

No thanks - you made a Mustang even less desirable to me, and I didn’t think that could happen.  If it floats your boat though, that’s great.

Well, not yet anyway.

The F1 car can do it over and over again until it runs out of fuel. That’s the difference.

“but from a truly technical perspective, the performance kit added to the Porsche is still road legal and available to European customers”

“So, overall, I’m really impressed with Plamobil’s toy engine accuracy”

In the unlikely event that I have a son,

I emailed Peugeot after I wrote that and it seems that the new 308 is coming next year, so I hope that includes the wagon so I can check it out.

I just looked on the Peugeot Australia site - they don’t seem to be selling the 308 here anymore, so we aren’t likely to get the SW either. I have emailed them to check as the hybrid might have been interesting.

“Overall, Sadly seems impressed”

That’s okay - I have never smoked and haven’t had a drink since 1989, when I was 19, so the taxes aren’t my personal problem. It’s one of the reasons I’m not poor, but I do agree that less affluent people are more affected by this. I remember from year 11/12 Economics that beer and cigarettes have a low elasticity of…

Yes, of course it’s Australian dollars - the tax on beer and cigs are increased regularly here. Maybe only incrementally, but I have an autograph on a book you can buy at an Australian Rules game which shows cigs at 50 cents a packet.  This was in 1979.

Oh, I thought it was because smokers had too much money burning a hole in their pocket, so they decided to use it to burn something else.  At about $50 a pack in Australia, that’s what it would seem, anyway.

Speaking from an Australian perspective, the Clarity was never offered here - I would be surprised if you could find many non-car people who had even heard of it. The Nexo is about to go on sale here, I saw - but with the only hydrogen filling places about 1000km from where I live, you might forgive me for being less…

Not for me - but someone in my town imports F150's and converts them, so you never know :)
