Seen on social media. It’s a fair comment in my view. Manufacturers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes only seem to make small cars to entice buyers to the brand, and they are hardly cheap. I’m sure they could have made something much more economical but I suppose it would have spoilt their brand...

Safer than German wine with Antifreeze in what was it, the 1980’s? 😆

Some folks I know recently came back from holiday in France. I asked them if they had a nice time and if they’d sampled any nice French wine? “Oh no, we don’t like French wine” was the reply!

Nova gave up on “righty loosey, lefty tighty” some years ago and now follow convention. I have a Nova Supernova chuck and it’s ok, it was quite cheap. But although plated to help prevent rust it doesn’t seem quite as well made as the Record Chucks. Neither are as good as Axminster in my...

Nah, he’s just in a bad mood! 🤣
