Car mad Brit in Houston Texas. Happily married to Tabatha. Could murder a cup of tea! (And need another car.)

@HubNutVids @FD_Tweets Ian, increased weight of cars due to safety and emissions gear means they need bigger brakes. To keep diameter down, profile goes down. Plus large rims are a stupid fashion...

@idriveaclassic Loved the video and your enthusiasm for the car, you always manage to portray your opinions well in a balanced manner which made your SD1 video (for example) great. I do not get the hate, keep being you as you are great and your videos are a source of enjoyment.

@Mo_Pedder_50cc @HubNutVids Avensis or Mondeo, followed by the Peugeot. VWs common fail diesel is a bit of a lottery.

[Peter Barrett @Bloody_Brit]

@Mo_Pedder_50cc Mo, did you have a chance to look at it?

[Peter Barrett @Bloody_Brit]

@Mo_Pedder_50cc Mo, depends on the service history and where ir accumulated the miles. Citroen/Peugeot have consistently developed durable engines, I would risk it. My C4 rental I had recently was everything I expected from a Citroen. Comfortable, quirky and some of it just failed to work once.

@Mo_Pedder_50cc Brilliant cars, bomb proof and fun to drive.

[Peter Barrett @Bloody_Brit]

@Mo_Pedder_50cc @Only9built The hit broke the pole and the remainder dropped vertically, through the windshield. Impressed that it missed the wiper arc.

@HubNutVids I think the income from ULEZ should be used to offer significant incentives to those in the ULEZ zone with non-compliant vehicles to trade in to a compliant vehicle.

@ThePollitt Chris, I hope your journey unfolds in a more positive manner. I just enjoyed the Mercedes video and I look forward to enjoy more. Like the cat inside and the cat outside too, I am feline another cracking video will come once you have the parts.

Didn't the concept of illegal immigration help create the British Empire? Asking for a friend called Gary.

@HubNutVids The manual Sporting version is a fine but rare car.

[Peter Barrett @Bloody_Brit]

@RebeccaMinnock Yes it is.

@the_autopian Looks Marcos-y but could not find a match.

@HubNutVids When being unique is a "Virtue" in more than one way.

@WhitelandRestos Bananas are. The only thing I have found that I cannot eat, disgusting things and I know there are many others who feel the same way. The Banana mafia are probably bent out of shape at this and will be along to disagree shortly.

@MissHubnut Sorry I have no advice, but I am not a professional so if I did have it would be as useful as a chocolate teapot. Mind you I am full of car advice and not a mechanic, but cars (other than modern Citroens) are generally simpler than the human psyche. I hope you feel better soon!

[Peter Barrett @Bloody_Brit]

Ready for the game. Heard you could add a filter to improve your looks, so did that.

[Peter Barrett @Bloody_Brit]

@tuanies Yes All Star Breakfast all the way.

[Peter Barrett @Bloody_Brit]

@kazzaloveslife Very full English Breakfast.
