Ah to be young again. Damn my middle class / age guilt.

They’re past that image now. Too old and cheap to impress the dreadful, dreadful working classes.

That space is occupied by RS3s, M4s, Golf Rs, or if you still live with your parents and don’t mind a £1k PCP payment Huracans and 458s.

Not really any good for a lanky person due to a low roof / high seats. And I’d suggest not as good as the hype suggests, any of the first 3 Imprezas go faster, turn harder, are lighter and narrower and more practical.

Hey, how you doing? Sorry you couldn’t get through, cos this is a message that’s been recorded especially four you.

You can apply with the DVLA stop paying vehicle tax if your vehicle was built more than 40 years ago. This date moves forward on a 40-year rolling system. For example, when the ULEZ launched in April 2019, vehicles built before 1979 were eligible to apply for historic vehicle tax class.

All vehicles that have a historic vehicle tax class are exempt from the ULEZ.

That’ll be ulez exempt next year won’t it? Or just get a 1982 version of the same.

Never heard of Blasha & Allatt

What’re those massive DDJs they’re playing on? Weird.

I need a new car haha

Seems like theres places like this on Insta that will ammend your cars records from the back end, which could be the only option

I’ve always assumed this is a scam. You send them your log book, they do something nefarious.

He was always a bellend which means every journalist who wrote a fawning article headlined NEXT STOP MARS! is complicit.

See also anyone who has bought a Tesla product. Or still uses Twitter for leisure.

They do. In theory it’s all sawmill off cuts and felled trees that it turns out aren’t good enough to use for anything else. No doubt everything chopped down is replanted and managed, this is Germany, and the pollution is contained in one place, away from housing so it’s better than everyone having home fires, but in reality everyone still burns their own wood because it’s more or less free and they’ve done it for generations, so no DVDs necessary.

Fourky. The guy from Toy Story Four.

Yes, checks bank account, no.

Our pals live in a village in Bavaria where lots of the houses are heated by a municipal wood-burning energy generator: https://www.naturwaerme-reit-im-winkl.de/

The song I got the dog bit from doesn’t discuss cats, but two is pretty bad. Are you at least a vegetarian? You could offset that.

You don't want to burn chemically and pressure treated wood.

Structural timber isn’t always treated. Mostly it is, but not always.

Cars suck balls.

I think you’ll find your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive.

Yeh but there wasn’t a lot of competition, did you hear the new Bjork gabba-adjacent nonsense?

I burn waste wood that my builder drops off for me

It’s… untreated wood, right?

Trust me. Sell your shares now.

Still, as an accountant I'd much rather see the £££ roll in from almost unlimited MoonSwatch sales than a brand awareness change.

This only works short term. When a brand / product becomes too common it loses its appeal as a posh and desirable thing. Lots of firms surrender to this, become super desirable for 5 minutes and grab the quick profit but it fails long term.

North Face sell a lot of jackets now, but they won’t next year.

It’s about creating a sense of desirability that, in theory, permeates the whole range. It works. Porsche sell their low-volume cars for 60% less than the resale market shows they could, but the benefit this perceived desirability brings to the brand is vast.

I love them too. The first time I drove one I couldn’t believe how good it was. It steered and changed direction unlike any other non-sports car I’ve driven before or since.

I want another one now.

The trolling is the defence mechanism for all the things we enjoy that are indefensible.

Social media causes way more damage to people than air pollution or eating other animals. Yet here we are, on LFGSS.

I’d fully vote Edmonds. There’s a man who chose a hairstyle and committed to it. Unswayed by fashions and short-term populism.
