Many congratulations buying your new car 👍 Malc

Astute new owners will be getting the rest of their driving lives well sorted if they so choose 👍 Malc

Can they be retro fitted with solar panels 🤔 Malc

Sheep ! Malc

P’raps Sark ? No need for cars and English spoken and the Barclays possibly need the dough right now ( ask the bankers 😂 ) …….. holiday camps could be built there, copious sea views, excellent human rights record too and no worries of Human Rights ( or wrongs) issues going forward AND they could have the erstwhile facilities of the Ritz catering supremos Now then, what’s not to like ….. jobs for all maintaining the facilities and grounds, fresh sea bathing MyohMy sounds amazing …… no neighbours to complain whinge and whine That’d get my vote 👍 Malc

The UK seems to export lots of 2nd hand vehicles …….. to where I know not ……. I see them Qdup on the concrete at Peel Ports here at Sheerness docks ready to go ! Malc

Thank you one and all for your very useful thoughts .... Kumho it will probably be ! Malc

Maybe now's the time to " invest " in the last of the V6 Camry's coming off the line ............ wot a car to have for future appreciation maybe 😉 Certainly wouldn't see rampant erosion of wealth as with an EV ! Malc

It’s good us Oldies can stick together …… two old brains often better than the one ……… aaarrrrggghhhh ……… more tea vicar 🤩 Malc

How about creating one from 3D tec. ? If it’s plastic Malc

Sounds absolutely ACE, Well Done ……. do keep us uptodate ongoing …… a “ peach “ of a car for sure 👌 Malc

My first career as an eventual City banker, very sober, enlightening and very very personally satisfying 👍👌 ……. My 2nd as a 2nd hand car dealer ….. also very very satisfying 🤩 and my first Ls400 👍👌👍 In both aspects I had to understand some accountancy vagaries to get on in life …… it’s no different today in my 3rd career ….. global tax efficiency is a mantra I’m getting to grips with 😂 ( hopefully ) Im sure no accountants are competent enuf to cope with it all …… I’ve never read of any that don’t come horribly unstuck 🥵 Malc

Fantastic cars ……. always highly thought of …… bought one at auction when I had my car sales business, my business partner could never bring himself to sell it Subaru Impreza WRX about 1988 era car …… a rocket machine, fabulous …… almost uninsurable tho’ 😂 Malc

Then I suspect the full range, the EV concept, has more or less crashed with value and won’t stop going dooooown till rock bottom is reached, whatever that is …… maybe 90% in 3 years …… really zero value by year 4/5 ….. to be scrapped value No dealers going to hold paid for stock ….. the accountants won’t allow it I’m sure …… the buyers on finance will be “ buried “ and coming up for air will be a relief 🥲 Good luck to all EV owners ….. you need it ! Malc

Is that shockingly good or bad ? Malc

C’mon Stephen, you know the hauntings will forever be by your side all the while you own a Lexus 😱 Change to a Ford or a new Chinese MG and all your ghostly concerns will disappear ……. they’ll just be HUGE problems 🤩 Malc

We will never understand the vagaries of global accountants understandings of international tax regimes and tax saving capacities ……. BUT we all know that these are minnows,Asda Issa bros and more ….. in the greater oil and national wealth funds that really control the wealth of nations ……. Lest we forget the delightful Mugabe who personally raped the wealth of the nation of Zimbabwe which has not yet recovered …… at that time he was really the wealthiest individual ever …… now surpassed I’m sure by the Ruskie Oligarchs who have raped the wealth of the Soviets and the generally impoverished citizens of Russia …… Oil companies have been the “ friendly faces “ helping our societies survive and grow in our personal wealth and modern living standards ……. and paying huge taxes too I’m sure 🤔 Malc

you're absolutely correct BUT I KNOW of others who did die from Covid that were never susceptible to flu nor had underlying health issues Malc

John, give the problem to the exhaust guys and they will inevitably ( fingers xd ) sort out all the issues for you Malc

unless you knew of people who simply died of this bad flu 🥶 Malc

you will certainly get that reasonable price .......... so be optimistic 😂 Malc

Did you make a coffee whilst reading and writing all that ? It's all above my pain threshold to understand methinks ! 😇 Malc

Just thinking where the arab nations might have been some 80 years past when bedouin tents and way of life might have been prior to the likes of BP, Shell Exxon and all those other Oil businesses that have enabled US ALL to enjoy the lives we have these past decades 😇 .. and will continue to WHATEVER the modern day thinking around cracking down on fossil fuels Malc

You’ll be fine ( fingers xd ) and at least you’re not in that “ foggy like “ state wotsisname had earlier 😂 Us aged ones seem to bear with all sorts of challenges that hopefully we can “ wing it “ thru’ and come out the other side feeling lots improved Good luck Malc

Obsolescence of oil fuel might not happen any time soon ! Methinks the odd $ billion or two won’t be missed by them Malc
