THE FORD FOCUS ~ THE MOST POPULAR UK FAMILY CAR IN 2019 !
For the Young in the UK ~ CARS are a
Status Symbol ! They give virile Young Men
Pulling Power & Ladies independence !
The UK has Good Public Transport
Buses (slow) and Trains (fast but expensive !)
ONE in TWO Britons own their own CAR
Most popular makes are FORDS & VAUXHAULS
& MINIS ! German Cars (Volkswagon ~ Golf
& Polo) and Japanese (Nissan ~
Qashqai & Juke) MERCEDES are the best
Selling luxury CAR ! In the USA
& New Zealand there is almost ONE CAR
Per Person ! INDIA ~ 22 per 1000 !
Could you LIVE without your OWN MOTOR CAR ?
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love A & B 🧡🧡🧡
Even in the UK we have become very reliant on our cars !
In the 21st C we could not imagine LIFE without the easy
convenience of weather free Door-to-Door service of the
Motor Car ! BUT *The Times they are a-changing !* CARS
are seen as a major pollutant of CO2 and the oxides of
Sulphur (SOx) and Nitrogen (NOx) both of which are very
corrosive acid gases. Electric Cars are being produced which
only have a distance of 35 miles per charge ~ and they dont
recharge in 5 minutes ! More people are using Bicycles and
(in Countries like CUBA) HORSES ! The future is ORANGE =
CAUTION ! Global Warming (due to increased CO2) is increasing
year on year and causes very damaging Climate Change. Mankind
existed (happily !) for thousands of years without Motor Cars !
Then over 100 years ago came the MODEL T FORD ~ everyone
wanted one ! The WORLD changed for ever ! Would you give up
your CAR to save the Planet for your GREATGRANDCHILDREN ???

I must say that my favorite car is an infinite. The cars I do not like the most are the Tesla. I also don't like any other electrical car dispite how popular they are becoming. This is a nice piece.
Persistence is key
THANKS ZION ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ! When we visit the USA it seems to us that *The CAR rules OK* Everyone has one ~ no one walks ! Whether its a trip tp the MALL or 1000 mile ride on the Intersstate its all done by CAR ! Nobody walks or cycles or uses a Buggy (except the AMISH !) its either CAR or TRUCK or HARLEY DAVIDSON ! the Mantra seems to be ONE CAR & ONE GUN per person to keep AMERICA Mobile and to keep AMERICA Safe ! The problem with Electric is its only 30 mile radius and in Some States thats only 2 blocks and back. I guess with a HYBRID you can always swith over to GAS !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love in the Spirit ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Unfortunately, I am unable to drive. Still, I would not mind having an old black and white Harley just to work on. Sadly though, even they are changing. They used to be pure, 100 %, American made. They actually represented classic America. Now the style is built to fit the new generation. They look almost like Japanese racing bikes, and most of the parts come from Asia and Europe.
Persistence is key
Also read my latest piece, 'The Glory Days'.
I got me Reliant Robin 3-wheelerer thingy. Had it since 1066! lol.
I owned a Vauxhall, when I was studying in England.
Car represents freedom of mobility, and actually it is the second most expensive item a person owns, the first being a house.
