My point was that’s an 1998 R129, which has the upgraded airbag steering wheel and chrome rings around the instruments.
I think you have to date a car by when it went on sale, in the case of the R129, in the UK, it was October 1989 but they were 1990 model year. 🤷‍♂️
I hope the holiday is going well! 😉

We’ve always prided ourselves in offering the UK’s highest level of car warranty for upto 48 months. However covering car with a cover as good as ours for 5 years takes careful planning.

We’ve just been doing some inflation analysis on the future of car repairs - and due to a complete lack of Car Mechanics (mainly thanks to us undervaluing them as a society and every young person wanting to be an influencer these days), plus the rising cost of parts and manufacturing, we’re estimating a 29.6% increase in all car repairs by 2031!

This is without any crazy inflation, without any adjustment for wars or unexpected demands. This blows my mind - 30% more!

And don’t get me started on EV’s because nearly all EV’s need to go back to the main dealer at the moment, as there are hardly any specialists meaning the cost of repairing them will be even higher! 😱

@mrjakehumphrey And we all agree with his comment!
👏👏

1. Transfer the tens of billions earmarked for net zero to defence and supply chain resilience, to create a major industrial/defence sector, thereby creating skilled jobs in UK, rather than China (as net zero does)
2. Radical tough love welfare reform to get 1m people of working age into work, thereby cutting the welfare bill and increasing the tax base. Coupled with massive expansion of German-class STEM skill apprenticeships.
3. Radical reform of planning laws to stop nimbys/greens from thwarting every major infrastructure development. Put judges/courts in their place when it comes to such matters.
4. Put rocket boosters under high-speed rail link between Leeds-Manchester-Liverpool. Brook no opposition/delay.
5. Unleash North Sea oil/gas + slash energy bills by removing all green levies. New breed of gas-fired and smaller nuke generating stations.
Much more to suggest. But this should be good for starters.

@oakieone @BBCSport I’m in France and it doesn’t appear here. Maybe it’s different depending on what country you’re in. 🤷‍♂️
