  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 16-5-2015 16 May 2015 (News)
  But it is crucial that they do switch on because of the Florida heat and the a/c.    Horrorlogical I have long thought that my Nissan Note, bought new in December 2012, overstates its mileage. Now I have proof.

  From Marinas to Carinas: Britain’s least exotic car show remains a dullard’s delight 22 Jul 2019 (News)
  Cars that used to be mainstream but are now a rarity included a 1989 Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0i CD, two exceptional Rover 200 R8s, a 1985 Nissan Sunny 1.5 GL and a 1980 Ford Cortina 2.0 L. Slightly rarer models included a 1971 Fiat 128, 1979 Colt Sigma and a 1973 Toyota Crown Custom Estate, along with a wonderful 1978 Chrysler Horizon with just 318 miles on the clock, originally won as a game show prize by someone who never used it.  Judging took many hours of discussion with owners, car inspections and deliberation in the estate café, as owners waited patiently on the lawns for the final verdict.
