London Ultra Low Emission Zone

[kav]

I work wihin that area but now take the train most days. What used to be a 30min blast 15 years ago has now turned into a 50minute slog given cycle superhighway and anti terrorism measures. Still when i bought the silverwing made sure it was compliant so I have the option.

Sadly not confined to London. Paris is spreading and various French regions will have ULEZ zones but no worries I can pay €5 for a sticker to tell folk how dirty my diesel is (like that amount even multiplied nationally is going to do bugger all for people's health) just another BS stealth tax.

Talking to a guy here today owns a 1982 Datsun cherry (probably the only one not go have rotted away) and basically soon no more MOT for it as the EU just don't want old vehicles on the road.
Brucey bonus he let me drive it (one of the first 5 speed box versions) immaculate inside and still had the original bag for the screen & headlamp washers *anorak alert* I took lots of photos

Tell me about it. Lambeth Bridge closed, Rotherhithe Tunnel off limits to vans (meaning they bunged up all the other routes), cycle lanes on the Embankment, it goes on..

But there's still no better way to commute then on a scoot.

Aren't those Datsuns like zombies? The body rots but the brain (engine) just keeps on and absolutely will not stop (sorry, got a bit Terminator there).

Can't remember when I last saw one.

Someone in the village has a Granada Ghia coupe. That old Essex V6 sounds nice....

Oh yes, and the Jaguar E-Type club are driving south from Chelmsford on Sunday as part of a charity thing. They reckon there'll be 200 of'em!

Apparently Bank you can't travel North to South unless cycle or bus.
Told it makes £2.000.000 per month in fines

18 E Types set out from near Chelmsford this morning at about 9am, heading for Hastings. Spoke to one of the owners, who had a S1 coupe. Nice people, lovely car.
