The Camaro Club (UK)

What subsidy is this? Never heard of that before...

It's this scheme here https://www.petrolprices.com/blog/new-r ... unday.html though naturally the petrol stations slowly increased their prices to con their way around it and make even more money

Now why doesn't that surprise me!

On another note US dollar 1.21 to the pound today... pretty rubbish. (Especially as I've just sent nearly 500 quid on a brake kit last week ... )

Terrible news about the dollar rate, don't see it improving in the short term .
Lucky for me nearly all the parts I need are already bought , will hold off on some optional finishing touches to see if sanity returns early next year ...
Hopefully the £ might rise again once the bedwetters realize that we are not quite at armageddon yet .

I've been in the U.S for a couple of weeks and just got back. Price of petrol in some places was $1.99 per gallon £20 to fill up and got 600 mile range. I did ~2,500 miles and spent about $175 total in fuel. Crazy how different the price is. Exchange rate is awful, even though it's at ~1.29, in reality it's about 1.25 due to fees / commission etc.

Surprisingly saw less than 5 classic cars on the road whilst i was there. Loads of new Camaro's, Mustangs, Challengers and Chargers though, probably the one i saw most of was the new shaped Challenger, with Camaro's being a close 2nd. Saw loads of classics at peoples houses (in need of TLC). Drove through parts of Alabama on the normal roads instead of the highways and nearly every house had at least 1 old car in need of TLC, many houses had 4-5 old cars outside. Saw quite a few early 2nd gens just parked up / being parted out as junk!

Sorry to hear a2kmaro - been there a few times and it's not pleasant at all. Has he started to make progress finding a new place?

Our sneaky governments have conned us into accepting pricing by the litre, if the price per gallon was on the boards there might be more anger about the rip off, taxing us on the tax of petrol is a really neat trick
