That's a weird one. According to the DVLA it was only registered in March 22, so it isn't due an MOT until next month - even though it is showing...
Ah yes, Giles Coren. The man who blamed Jaguar for his electric iPace running out of charge at the end of a long journey, despite presumably...

I went from 165mm to 155mm cranks this winter and my average power is up about 10 Watts and my average speed is up 1 mph on the indoor trainer. My...
Traffic calming that makes it more dangerous for cyclists.
Isn't the expression "I don't have a dog in this fight", not "knife"? (Sorry, that's just an irrelevant aside.)
Perhaps you should read the comments, including your own, a bit better then as nobody was discussing whether the product will make a profit or not...
I'll miss Woodes if it does indeed vanish, but the idea that motorists kept it going is bizarre. It is surrounded by some major workplaces in easy...
