I'm guessing you will paint the motor car yourself - of course you will, and it will look even smarter. Best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2022. Alan

A Volvo and a plastic pig! It's like some sort of parking space timewarp
All this saloon action has got me seriously hankering after one, such presence.

To be honest I am quite enjoying the "rat look" currently. I'm a stickler for cars being mechanically perfect but couldn't care less about appearance. As such the car hasn't even been washed in 12 years and has bits of moss on it. The looks I get as I roll up next to a brand new Audi blob are priceless. It also gets me plenty of space around me in car parks. If I can't get a good match with normal paint I may end up putting a coat of solid enamel (purists can look away now). |

https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...0+fuel+economy Take your pick out of those, i haven't reviewed any of them (except maybe one or two that i've forgotten about or are further down the list than i scrolled to) so can't comment but they are all in the same vein. Regardless of those, the simple fact remains that E10 fuel has a lower calorific value and even the govt admitted that in their own reports. They also prophesied a 1-2% reduction in fuel economy and have since back-pedalled admitting it's more than that. All the best for 2022 anyway!

I know the estate versions of these cars are most sought after, but I really love the shape and stance of the saloons. I keep looking back at it. Very handsome cars and really stand out in a crowd.
