I agree with Rox. All hail Motability and all that is available on it. Kudos to Rox for raising his/her head above the parapit and ensuring stimulating conversation. Also, a doff of the cap to the members of this forum who welcome different opinions and interesting conversation: a rare bread on social media nowadays.
As an ex-boy racer (give it up for the pug 205 GTI!) I do sympathise for the petrol head/car enthusiast on the scheme and take your points regarding the black hole where the GTI’s and VRS’s previously presided. However, as I’m now getting on I take into account far more other factors before BHP. (Engine power is not at the absolute bottom of the list tho, nobody wants to be undertaken by cyclists!)
