Every time the government recommends you buy a particular type of vehicle THEY GET IT WRONG.
twenty years ago it was diesel—- now they want all diesels off the road by 2025.
Flavour of the month is ALL ELECTRIC ———. Again , they just didn’t think it through.
Agreed —=they do run a lot cleaner than a fossil fuelled vehicle . Down size of this —- they already dg up half of ALASKA. Looking for LITHIUM . Nobody thought of what was going to happen when the batteries came to the end of their life ?????????
Fire brigades worldwide have told us they are not able to douse a lithium fire —— simply watch it burn out .
What if there’s a malfunction on a container ship carrying £485 MILLION worth of electric cars ????????? Ie; a battery catches fire ????? No way to put the fire out !!!!!!!!! All those 4000 electric cars ????? . Me— I'll stick with the trusty hy-brid Lexus a tad longer methinks.

You would think they would have taken notes from Boeing on the 787 flight line lithium battery fires? I use lithium batteries but I don't trust them. I don't leave them on trickle charging overnight unattended.

The white offshore. Tunnel would make a good looking HUSKI raceboat. So i decided to gather all the boats under the bench up and get them up to muster —-and offer them at knock down prices . Bear in mind the postage costs which will be approx $50 a pop —- thats including the packing , buggers dont pack themselves you know !!!!!!!!!! Even me has to be worth ten dollars an hour as a packer .
As i finish each one to a half decent standard —i will post piccies on the TRICKS website —- all will be at knockout prices —- they do make pretty good desktop talking points .

Just occasionally whilst foraging in the scrap metal you strike lucky.
Found this solid silver HARRODS wine server —- goes about 8 ounces ——$12/16 an ounce today.
See what the bullion traders at the car boot are offering.

Picked up this very rust pitted LADIES PURDEY section of a shotgun —- mechanism works perfect —-
who in their right mind would saw off the stock and the barrels ????????
Have to find the right mount for it —— HAVENT come across anything that even remotely float the boat.
Did pay through the nose for it at £100 — but i did get a tad excited at the prospect of fernagling an expensive concept !!!!!!!
