The Old Car Lady

25/10/2026

For today’s classic car rant…..it’s the 80’s Immobilser - once cutting edge technology and a crucial (and often very expensive) way to stop someone making off with your pride and joy, the first thing I do now is get them out!

Am I alone, do these things drive anyone else mad?

Recorded a Wheels & Deals Podcast today with Al ….. and for a bonus had a look at his fabulous collection.
Look out for this episode landing next week.

We tried to get to the bottom of why the motor trade has changed so much and where we think it’s going…..plus the usual question - are we looking back through rose tinted specs or were the olden days really better?

Question: are you particular about the petrol you use in your car, or will anything do? And does the price of fuel affect your decision of where to fill up?
