I didn't say Teslas are immune from cold weather drain, obviously they're not... what I was highlighting is the dramatic loss of range with BYD/VW EV's when engaging the AC. This doesn't happen with Tesla... having had my own (Y) for over three years and having driven at least 8 others with...

That’s your prerogative mate. Being seriously involved with driving all manner of cars, I am in a very fortunate position of being able to ‘test drive’ lots of different brands and models… so on here I try to pass on my experiences and offer a degree of advice on what cars may suit folk...

You never did get the Dacia I got you an intro deal on did ya ?

On more than once occasion, I have declared the politics of Musk to be absolutely and utterly abhorrent but, the Tesla products both cars and domestic battery storage systems are outstanding. I have owned my Tesla for over three years now and it has been superb… cheap as chips to run on...

Geely are indeed Chinese and they are huge, they own Volvo now. Ten years ago, Geely cars were an utter joke… but, they have learned and adapted all their production processes and now have a pretty decent product.

That mention of Tommy Wright reminded me of another comical incident. January 1975 and my mate Gareth and I drove to St.Andrews one Saturday to see the Blues take on Birmingham City. Having left the motorway we were wending our way in what we thought was the general direction of the ground only...

Thanks Dario, just read that and it brought tears to my eyes… what a player he truly was, and an ever greater Evertonian 💙💙💙

It was mate. Hung on old bedsheet on our washing line and spray painted it with “£70,000 is an insult to the White Pele.” My mate Gareth and I hitchhiked down the East Lancs to Goodison, and got into the Park End as soon as the gates opened so we could get over the electric scoreboard to...

Tough !

And our George loved working with her, said she was an absolute joy to work with. RIP Pauline
