This is an article on the Radar website, amongst other things it wants more 13 year old WAVs on the road. It seems they are losing their patience with the Government and its timetable of implementing the DDA in respect to Transport.

Best wishes

You'd think that there were a pile of unused 13 year old WAVs just sitting somewhere waiting for someone to buy one.

Obviously they are generally in use already, most are probably working in Blackpool :lol:

I had a little laff at that one. Here are councils making us all pay top dollar for WAVs and the people who these vehicles are meant to serve are advocating relics from the past.

I would like to point out my (soon to be) 15 year old trusty fairway has just been passed and plated for another year! Another year (I hope) that I can stay away from Ford engines and slimey salespersons at M&O :)

The FORD engines have a long way to go before they get anywhere near the NISSAN engines. People are holding back on buying them because of the high fuel usage and lack of power.

lol nidge, I can accept the power with the ford engine, i dont drive like mansell anyway.

Its the 25mpg and tractor like noise from the bloody thing that make me less than satisfied. I dont know where these guys who like them come from? Perhaps a lunatic asylum?
