    If they aren't careful folk will turn away from car racing if they persist with electric... Bikes have realised, not a great deal of development going into Formula Zero and they, ve lost top riders... I certainly wouldn't go to IOM to watch electric bikes... Its just not same...

    Yep, and BSA. Never saw one with Ford pop but I, ll believe you.. The best without a doubt is new one with space frame chassis, SS V twin and Mazda MX5 gearbox... Its a cracking car but silly price.. They do an electric version, which sort of spoils the broth.. Its horrid. By the way, the new...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I, m not talking about the anti social aggressive noise of some (illegal) cars and bikes... On race track that noise is sadly missed but agreed anti social on streets but I think you are missing a safety aspect. Totally silent ecars are dangerous, folk, especially pedestrians do listen for cars...

    It would be such a shame to lose such a talented, popular and efficient PM to a simple dodgy deal over £80k or so going wrong.He will be mourned on here and sadly missed in Northern Towns.

    The incident was first reported when BJ and Cameron were about 5 years old. Some idiot got in bother for incident years before Boris and Cameron were there. Action then became an urban myth. Proving a negative is impossible. So the mud stook. BJ totally denied accusation in commons and the...

    He was also supposed to have lit a cigar with a £10 note infront of homeless... Which was also a load of rubbish. Think his days are numbered tho, somebody has knives out for him..

    It's all very short sighted tho.. Folk don't seem capable of enjoying the better times without risking bringing back the bad ones. People are not following guidance as well...
