World In Motion

 There is so much wrong with this photo.

And I say that as someone who was born just after ENGLAND - not GB, won the World Cup.  I was born about 20 days before Tony Adams (MBE apparently) and he was the first England player to be born after ENGLAND - not GB, won the World Cup.

Next issue - I am 57 years old so whoever has chosen that plate is living somewhat in the past.

Next up (and this isn't an issue if they are stuck in a traffic jam) is how close whoever has taken that photo is to the car in front.  While on the plus side, it looks to have been taken from the passenger seat so at least the driver isn't messing about with a mobile phone.

Now wouldn't you have thought that a proud British patriot would have bought a British car? Not a 2018 Subaru Forester XT SYMM with CVT.  If you are impressed that I can tell the transmission from the back of the car, you don't know about mycarcheck.

But, apart from all that, nice photo.

Not Coming Home

It's been about two weeks since my last post.

Partly because there hasn't been much car news.

And partly because I've been engrossed in the Football.

I have dual-nationality - I'm mostly Welsh but when there is a major football tournament going on I tend to be English.

And this major tournament has been better than most from an English perspective.

We did play in Samara last week so it is an excuse to mention the Lada Samara:

But today The BBC gave us a story combining traffic AND The World Cup.

Apparently, according to The RAC, traffic was going to peak between 4pm and 6pm this afternoon/evening due to us England fans commuting home in time for our semi-final against Croatia.

I was one of those commuters and didn't notice any extra traffic on the bit of motorway I was using.

I did notice us lose to Croatia though - this makes me mostly Welsh again.

The English boys have done their country proud though - they are only young and they got a lot further than most would have thought possible which bodes well for future competitions.

Meanwhile, Croatia is the home of Rimac - manufacturer of electric supercars like the Concept One:

Which looks a lot better before an Englishman crashes it:
