Newey out manoeuvring Horner

Very surprised at that. I got the impression he preferred to be more in the background

£760 VED on that one too, ouch!

First MOT now brought forward to twelve months?

There's been grumblings before about some cars/vans doing moon miles before they are presented for their first MOT

Any word on Pension Tax Free Lump sums on retirement.

Doesn't impact me as the Tories will have reversed it long before I retire :lol: but I was talking to a work colleague yesterday who's 18 months off retirement and somewhat depending on the lump sum for his retirement plans


I hope not as ...

Not sure. Not due to be implemented until 2028 so plenty of time for them to cock it up

Oh and pay as you drive confirmed for electric and plug in hybrids. That won't eventually be passed on to all vehicles will it, no siree

Watching on youtube and the conditions look treacherous and the rally seems to have stopped at the moment.

Hollie McRae (daughter of Colin) has rolled her Mini, her dad would be proud

@Gwaredd might have something to say about that
