Just open a window.

Now I’m no hippy save the planet person but it just seems lazy and wasteful.

I need help, I’ve no reason for that to annoy me so much :lol:

And its always modern cars that have start/stop

So they have made equal effort to disable start/stop than it would take it let it just do its thing and tap the throttle/clutch when they want to actually drive

As I have no kids, live alone, don't have a kilowatt of hifi for watching Netflix etc, I'll take 'using the car for a while' as my sin of choice.

The thing is my cars have sat unused for so long that the car's criteria to activate start/stop is rarely reached when I do go for a drive (likely related to battery levels).

That 3.6 996 looks a good honest car for £12,600 on Collecting Cars.

It’s too early to draw any conclusions but The number of mustang owners selling up has gone up quite a lot recently. Most seem to be selling to a dealer so if it continues I expect the market will become saturated with big engines cars no one wants or can afford. Then the dealers will end up selling them off at far less than they’d hoped.

I really want a coupe to tinker with...

I’ve noticed there seems to be a lot more of certain cars in my regular searches lately than for the past year or so.

Doesn’t seem to be any softening of prices yet, but lots of cars have been hanging around for a long while.
