March 2024 top 3 sellers in Straya are
#1. Ford Ranga
#2. Toyota RAV4
#3. Tesla Model Why
#4. Toyota wHylux
#5. Mr Bishi Outlandish

Model Y milk-float is far & away the more "enthusiasts car" of the Strayan top 5 sellers ...

I'm waiting to see how Labour deal with this, do they, as I suspect they will simply parrot the existing eco babble or will they indicate a dilution of the drive to extinction (sorry electrification, easy mistake).

As is likely they choose the first option will they then be open and upfront and explain to the workers how personal transport is now only for the capitalist elite only? You know, industrialists, footballers, politicians. Rich people.

I’m hopeful of Labour’s reintroduction of the policy to leave downhill roads as they are and make all uphill ones flat!
