probably the same as ‘we buy any car’, they’re all a bunch of robbing crooks.

Ordered my new 2022 Vauxhall Grandland Ultimate on February 4th, still haven't see one in the flesh yet, only 4 in the whole country, they only started manufacturing them on February 10th and have a backlogue of up to 1 year!
So chances are I may not have my new car until at least Christmas 2022 due to the computer chip issue.
The dealer won't actually give me any indication as to when the earliest possible delivery date will be as they have absolutely no idea yet. One Vauxhall dealer is suggesting delivery for cars ordered now is likely to be August 1st.
I will be happy with August 1st rather than February next year!

I like the premise of the program but can't bring myself to be able to comfortably watch Tim Shaw who comes accross as being a knob. |

Wow, I get how much you don't like him now. Can we agree Fuzz is a good bloke, and a good drummer and that Ed was better than Ant (not seen Elvis) . |

I like Ed, Fuzz is ok but haven't seen him in anything other than CSOS, Ant is self centred and egotistical, Elvis has no personality. |

Tim Shaw is a funny one, the role he plays in Car SOS is peculiar and irritating and rather hides the fact that he is an incredibly bright and award winning engineer in his own right. He equally does my box in, but when he actually talks to the people I do accept you can see that he does actually have a decent side to him. Plus its worth looking at the interview he did with the holocaust survivor Kitty Hart-Moxon, meant to last 1.5 hrs, he interviewed her for 7 hours and from recollection was at one stage trying to work with schools to get them to play what she said to kids!* Fuzz is brill, what with the music, cars and buses a true renaissance man used to be technical editor of Practical Classics magazine, know a guy who has had dealings with him in the real world and what you see on Telly is what he is! * No I am not his agent, just did a fair bit of reading about him in the past as assumed he couldn't be the complete prick he comes across as on the programme! |

Fuzz is brill, what with the music, cars and buses a true renaissance man used to be technical editor of Practical Classics magazine, know a guy who has had dealings with him in the real world and what you see on Telly is what he is!
I had never even heard of Fuzz on anything other than Car SOS, turns out I have seen him drumming with "The Beat" on at least 6 occassions, once when my band were supporting them! small world, he obviously made little impression on me though! |

Depends on when it was. Morton Everett was their drummer at one time but they have had a number of incarnations. |
