#BrownCarGuy – News, Views & Reviews!
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has pushed the ICE New Car Sales Ban from 2030 to 2035. What does it mean for you and the car industry, and what else was in the pipeline?!
Why does any discussion involving EVs vs ICE become so polarising? Why are EV Proponents so defensive and why to EV haters believe all the myths? If we don’t all calm down and have a grown-up conversation meeting somewhere in the middle, we won’t be able to move forward with transport solutions for today, tomorrow and beyond – whether they are, or are not, the solutions we expect them to be?
Sadly I’ve seen a disturbing increase in racist and Islamophobic comments around the ULEZ debate, both on my channel and elsewhere. I reiterate once again – ULEZ and restrictions on motorists and car usage is nothing to do with race, religion or culture, it’s to do with politics alone. Attack Sadiq Khan, but attack him on his politics, not on who he is, his heritage or his religious beliefs.
As we stand at the threshold of the third decade of the 21st century, our imaginations continue to run wild with visions of what motoring will be like in the year 2050, just 27 years from now. The possibilities seem boundless, as the worlds of science fiction and real-world innovation collide to redefine our relationship with cars.
Live stream to catch up with viewers who have been impacted by the ULEZ expansion and to remind everyone of Anti-ULEZ Expansion events tomorrow and on Sunday 10th September.
With those opposing the ULEZ Expansion pinning their hopes on the next Mayoral election – this latest YouGov poll doesn’t bode well and sends out a dire warning that not enough has been done to alert and educate Londoners about the harmful socio-economic effects of the ULEZ Expansion.
Cars Vs Bicycles – Time for a Rant. Some people suggest we should all just ride bikes. Bicycles are great, but they are not for everyone in every circumstance, and to make that assumption is naive, selfish, and unsympathetic. Here’s why.
Coverage of Anti-ULEZ Expansion Protest at Downing Street 29th August 2023 (Day 1 of the expanded London-wide ULEZ Zone), including interviews.
During my recent stint as host of the Tech Hub at the British Motor Show, one of the sessions we ran was ‘Is it the end of ICE?’. Not referring to the frozen crystal cubes dropped into a glass of some liquid refreshment, but the internal combustion engine of course.
This was West London Classic’s last meet before the ULEZ expansion kicks in on Tuesday 29th August, whilst the venue for this event is just outside the M25, most of the members of WLC are based in London and a very high percentage drive non-ULEZ compliant modern classics. So what will happen to car culture in London?
