In this video Geoff collects his brand new very old BMW 528i Touring (E39) which is pretending to be an Alpina. There's also a £1.5m 1963 Ferrari 250 Lusso, and a road trip, and good look at the BMW.

Daddy, why does everyone at my school think electric cars are good…? And other stories. Plus a general update and some musings.

After a busy weekend, what have we learnt? Geoff dives into the sky (again), some very strange storms, things that may or may not be coming on October 4th, Mark Wahlberg, the many worlds theory of quantum universes, the Mandela Effect, a little bit of the Bible and a brief summary of Dyno Day.

Beating the ULEZ with a 1969 Renault 10. PART THREE... In this video we take a look at the car, the roof and the front bonnet before getting on the ramp and underneath the car to see what's what... Then we run into some problems, and have to make a shopping list, but can we even find the parts...? If you can help, please contact me. #ClassicCars #ULEZ #Renault

Ooooh er Matron... My car is spying on me and reporting back to base! Geoff dives into a funny but slightly worrying story from the Guardian. https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2023/sep/06/cars-collect-extensive-personal-data-on-drivers-study-warns #ElectricCars #NEWS #Funny

A new parliamentary bill is being rushed through parliament, only 9 MPs voted against it. If you want to look it up, the bill has the title: ‘A Bill to make provision about energy production and security and the regulation of the energy market, including provision about the licensing of carbon dioxide transport and storage; about commercial arrangements for industrial carbon capture and storage and for hydrogen production; about new technology, including low-carbon heat schemes and hydrogen grid trials; about the Independent System Operator and Planner; about gas and electricity industry codes; about heat networks; about energy smart appliances and load control; about the energy performance of premises; about the resilience of the core fuel sector; about offshore energy production, including environmental protection, licensing and decommissioning; about the civil nuclear sector, including the Civil Nuclear Constabulary; and for connected purposes’ It's a 446 page bill covering many areas of energy production, storage and usage but some sources have extracted a few key points noteworthy to the British householder (it's another instance where conspiracy theorists have been proved right): Source 1 https://darntons.com/2023/09/07/read-uk-law-oks-use-of-force-for-smart-meters-on-off-powers/#:~:text=So%20it%20seems%20that%20the,%E2%80%9Ca%20load%20control%20signal%E2%80%9D.

I'm fighting with technology here... This is the final 8 minutes that should have been bolted to the first video. #ClassicCars #ULEZ #Renault

Fighting the internet and connectivity here, which is ironic, because that's one of our problems...

In this video Geoff dives into an article from Fleet News discussing how older cars are holding their own against much newer vehicles... What does this say about the market, how do Electric Cars fare against Petrol, Diesel and Hybrid Vehicles and what would Geoff buy with £17,000 to spend...? #News #ElectricCars #EV #EvMotoring Older used car values record strong growth as second-hand EV prices continue to stabilise: https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/older-used-car-values-record-strong-growth-as-second-hand-ev-prices-continue-to-stabilise-report/287171

Forming part of a longer video review, here’s a challenge for you…

An unscripted and unedited look at the world on a rainy Saturday morning. #news #ulez #london #electriccar #ev #electricvehicle #comedy #classiccars #cars #rowanatkinson

We're seeing a glut of articles from the mainstream media demonising the Electric Car movement. Why? What's this all about? In this video Geoff dives into the article, explains what's going on and concludes by looking at the real reasons we are now seeing significant growth in the 'anti EV' movement in the media. All whilst sitting in a Bentley. #News #ULEZ #EV #electriccar

I dug back through my notes app and found an email about Tata... A quick bit of research later and now we have this video! I dig into this £600m Tata deal with the UK government and announce the launch of Geoff Thompson Sports Cars.. Yup, we're looking for funding. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/uk-set-secure-commitment-tatas-jlr-new-ev-battery-plant-bloomberg-2023-07-18/ #News #JaguarLandrover #Tata #Finance #Investment #Brexit

In this video we check in with Lyndon from Bury End Classics to see his Chrysler New Yorker on the ramps. In the last video, it was very much not running, not rolling and it smelt really bad. So does it run, does it roll and does it still smell? #BarnFind #Restoration #FastAndFurious

Taken from the 'Home Schooling' video..!

A government consultation has been brought to my attention that looks to be a very positive thing… until you read between the lines. Is this a power grab from the state to remove the rights of parents to home educate their children? Is home schooling under threat? In this video we look at what Save Our Rights say, and look at the questions in the consultation. This is an important subject - links below for you to have your say, but do it soon - there isn’t much time. #News #HomeSchool #Education

In this week's Sunday Sermon we have some CONGRATULATIONS, as well as a little info on whats coming up this week... including a new threat to HOME SCHOOLING as well as a return to the middle ages with MALNUTRITUION. There's also a fleet update, a chat about cameras and some Jesus Healing Hands thanks to the awkward light caused by Britain's Bad Weather. How's your weekend been? #News #Update #Latest
