Reguarly mate unfortunately

You will notice a diffence then mate, down in Somerset I don't!

On the subject of stop-start, I've noticed loads of cars with it now and I was next to a Fiat 500 with stop-start that got me thinking. If I owned an Italian (or French) car I wouldn't want to run the risk of turning the engine off and it deciding it doesn't want to work again for a few hours.

Sure I'd trust it on the reliable marques, but I wouldn't feel comfortable knowing my Italian or French car is going to decide when to stop and start on a busy motorway.
