Not entirely sure where to post this, not a spot as such, but a guy on DRIVETRIBE has bought a Cougar as a project to blog about, has written two so far and seems rather favourable towards it, well researched and written pieces

Part two here

Good honest revue, as i always said a poor mans Aston Martin, a GT not a sports car

Looks like it might've been an interesting series of articles, but he only wrote the two of them, with the last being 7 months ago.

I wonder if, during the planned service/inspection, he discovered something terminal and gave up on it.

Looks like the reg is V103 KSJ ?

Shows no results so most likely its been scrapped
 
I spotted this Cougar, so posting it here:

American Dad S03E16, the kids are consuming this 'energy drink' (Cougar Boost) that might be of use in our cars.
 
Over the last 4 months, covered over 12,000 miles, seen only 3 Cougar's :sleep: Getting too rare...
 
Spotted a Frosty yesterday whilst sat in the evening rush hour, A52 at the QMC roundabout. EX51 BVV, looked pretty standard.

Fuel costs 10p more in Norfolk...

Wisbech (Cambridgeshire) is regularly >5p higher than King's Lynn (Norfolk).
When I worked in Wisbech, I'd leave off and drive right past the Tesco Extra opposite work's car park, and drive to King's Lynn Tesco Extra to fill up for cheaper, then drive 1/3rd the way back towards Wisbech to home. How does that pricing differential help to reduce emissions?

I agree, its crazy. What is also crazy is taxis who have taken someone outside of their 'area' e.g out of Gt Yarmouth to Norwich or vice versa and are not allowed to 'ply for trade' to get a fare for the return journey. So basically half their fuel is 'wasted' as they must return empty.

We have civil servants here signing their emails with the cliche 'It takes 28 trees to make a ton of paper etc...' who refuse to try and find a solution to that.

Don't encourage me, or I'll start talking about toasters next...

Yet there's already a solution/system in place (logistics where I worked were signed up to it) that matches up empty lorries to deliveries you need making (return loads)!​
