As for social excursions, I don’t bother any more either, but out of principle.


I feel the same way regarding adverts on YouTube etc. Out of principle I will not buy from a company that wastes my time with their adverts...

I dare say the only way I will cross the M25 cordon is on a train or plane.

I already have, and Bath, Bristol, and a raft of other places. I don't really miss them, and doubt I'll ever go again in my life.

My loss or theirs? Who cares!

The ULEZ compliant conversion for 2013 onwards Pumas (ie the 2.2 with DPF) is reasonable as if you have a small company you can get a grant for almost the entire cost.

Sadly mine is a 2010MY Puma so have to cough up the 12.50 per day when I use it

Who makes this TVS engine then? It says on twisted that it’s their own design but is it actually built by them or is it based on something else and tweaked?
If it is their own design then I would have a small concern about reliability and longevity.
Could I still get parts for it in 15-20 years? Or will it fizzle out as the Ulez goal posts are moved again?

There is no point coughing up the money to make a car Euro 6 compliant. The goal post will be moved again in the next 5 years. Just pay the £12.50 and know where you stand. 2008 2.4 110 Utility Station Wagon XS.
