    Agreed, the road tax situation is farcical. I have a van and a car, I'm the only one who drives them, and it's close to £100 a month. Annual mileage well under 10k these days. Calculate the crazy costs of administering this tax at DVLA (SORN, car changes, reminders etc) and surely it's got to be better for everyone if the tax just goes on fuel prices. Stops the huge amount of road tax evasion at the same time, and catches the foreign registered cars/trucks.

    • @paulgriffiths9824

      It actually encourages you to drive more, knowing that your money in tax is going to waste otherwise. Fuel tax is by far the fairest way, but we pay enough on that already.

      I've never had a mobile phone or a laptop where the battery lasts more than 3 years before it's seriously degraded, same with my power tool batteries which are all just the same cells that you get in an EV, yet the EVangelists are always claiming that some Tesla did 2 million miles on its original battery and only lost 3% of it's capacity blah blah yeah right 🤣🤣
      The thing is, I spend my time watching car repair channels, funny how many 3-4 year old EV's I've seen where the garage is quoting £20-25k for a new battery (or $60k for those Hyundai Ioniq 5's that have been making the news)

    Not bad for an old girl. The little Renault needs to remain on the fleet.
    Your correct at the end regarding fuel in modern cars. To save a bit of money I decided to run my modern car on the E10 standard fuel, but realised after a few weeks I had terrible running, kangaroo-ing, occasional rough running and even stalling. Switched back to E5 super unleaded and it's running smoother and has less of the issues above.

  • @johnmoncrieff3034

    With a full service and new filters, points and plugs, & a play with the advance settings etc, you might just gain that loss back again! Or change to an electronic ignition system. If you really want to do a full restoration on the engine then new valve springs and a re seating of the valves will make a difference as will a cleaning out of the ports!

    • @pkuudsk9927
      @pkuudsk9927 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Chrysler your as old as me. Them air pump got ripped off and thrown away, good luck finding one. It would be funny to see if it might jump 2 hp+. though. I want him to race a go cart on a track. Just a 5 hp China clone of a Honda. just to show why we don't need big cars with 500 hp. I love them and have them, but a 4-seater go cart with say 20hp is more than enough to do 140 kph. No blistering 0-60 but it could. This also would make for a good Ev Golf cart motor swap with a small Genni to charge it nonstop. A few batteries a inverter and off you go. Best days of my life were riding my minibike to school through the ditches on .10 cent a week in the 70's. Herer in Canada they wanted 1 dollar a week and my single mother saved money letting me get that Artic cat leopard skin seat and burnt orange glitter paint 5 hp bike for my savings cutting lawns. Best 20 bucks I ever spent

    11.3......Nothing wrong with that. That's about what I get in my Ram 2500 6.7 Turbodiesel. But I'm towing a 12K pound 5th wheel (I think it's a called a caravan over there).

    Was it DIN BHP? That was the norm in its days.

    10HP difference is still 20% loss over stock power which still is a pretty big loss I think.

    My first car was a 1968 Fiat 850 Spyder and it had 52 hp. Wish I still had it!
    In 71 I had a Porche 914 up my backside traveling down Rt 100 in Vermont at 60 mph until we got to Granville Gulch and the 30mph marked corners. I never came off the gas and when I exited the Gulch the 914 was a quarter mile in my rearview! 👺

    With the premium fuel, its time to turn up the timing and check the AFR, see how close you could get "back" to the 49HP. LOL

    Any Japanese motorcycle Cruiser engine would make that car so much more driveable especially the linear gearbox hooked up to a hand stick.

    It's got that power and is not an SVR. 550 BHP compared to the 575 BHP for the SVR.

    55 Years ago, life was much less complicated. People spent their energy on the quality of family life instead of keeping up with the Jones, just to please others.

    No Geoff, you don't like Range Rovers. You mentioned that several times. Especially with 11,3 mpg...Why are you saying this? Just to please Chris? Better stick to your opinion.
