Bill 13,717 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 This has always been the attraction of cars. Despite all the inconveniences and costs of access, parking, congestion, etc you maintain more control over where, when and how you travel. Given the number of car owners, I'm clearly not the only one who wants this freedom. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my final year at University in 1978, the Underground was given the full makeover. The old red trains became the Clockwork Orange, every station was upgraded and, the Underground was rebranded, 'the Subway'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
