I think it’s true of the base models, less so of the SP versions.

Re: World Politics Stuff (not brexit)

Netanyahu and his military leaders should be held up for war crimes along with Hammas.

Can you imagine the outcry if this was Russia doing this?

For genuine adventure travelling in remote places something simple like thus is probably the best option.

Re: Brexit thread

This beggars belief. Now the idiots realise NI probably would already have a 51% majority if they seek reunification of Ireland they are running scared.

Re: Making biking safer

I suspect that within 10-15 years only driverless vehicles will be allowed in town and city centres as that’s easily done and will be the experiment to make it work all over.
