I was told that Steven Eagell had 40 cars before Xmas. Only Grey, Silver and Red.
They were offed to me for £32k

 

[mike64]

They all different colours including white & blue, that's not like Toyota to tell porkies

There is a silver at the Colchester park and ride car park. It seems to be where Toyota park alot of vehicles they don't have room for.

BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) currently sell just 16.3% of all cars in 2023, rising from 15.1% in 2022, that’s 83.7% that use most of its propulsion from Diesel or Petrol, and a little token gesture from a battery motor on the side.
At the rate of increase of 1.2% in a year, the momentum has virtually stopped, and I’m confident it will never increase higher than 16%, the truth about EVs lack of green credentials is becoming common knowledge.

So how do you think the ZEV Mandate is going to go then? Scrapped entirely pre-election? (22% EV sales in 2024, 28% in 2025 etc)

Thanks I hadn't looked at this recently. Toyota certainly "found" a LOT of extra cars to bring to the UK in 2023.

It’s still super rare, Ford would sell 50000 fiestas in 1 year, I hope to see around just 1250 cars when the final figures are out later in 2024.

Anything around 1000 would be considered rare.
I had an Elise 220 Cup. They only made 153 of them up to them upgrading to the 250. Now that’s really rare.

Yep - and allowing for track day crashes and people who can’t drive RWD in the wet… might be a few less in 2025!

So the auto is really rare ! Interesting the Yaris GR is going auto

I’m utterly baffled by how the government thinks it can legislate what people have to buy, if they don’t want it they won’t buy it, and fining the car makers is crazy, because it all just limits the amount of ICE cars they will sell, and let’s face it, that’s what buyer want at the moment, so I see a shortage of ICE cars over the next few years, and a sluggish EV the up, with car manufacturers going bust, so when that becomes reality governments will move the goal post again, and look like tits as usual.

Here is my contribution to making UK cars a little bit rarer for everyone

Happened a few weeks ago (was hospitalised for a while). Stay safe out there everyone.

Might give a full post once insurance is sorted out (not that I remember much about the accident).

Crikey. Not much salvageable there.

Hope you are on the mend, Tony.

What’s next, another 86?

Shit.

Get well soon Tony.

That looks a nasty one, glad you are ok.

Wishing you a full and swift recovery.

Would be interested to hear what happened, but the important thing is that it seems like it kept you (relatively) safe. Looks like a mighty big impact.

Bloody hell, hope you are OK Tony.
