Motorists are seen as easy prey by councils So many silly rules and schemes giving them the opportunity to fine us Of course they'll use the #ClimateScam as an excuse It's all based on Marxist ideology @GeoffBuysCars @GBNEWS @Bangernomics

@smithp573 @Nir_Kahn my excuse is that I only use twitter on a computer so rarely enlarge any image, but yes AI is getting irritating...

@Nir_Kahn @Bangernomics It is. Check out the 1986 Panda 4x6. But for AI it’s getting worryingly good. Joe Punter wouldn’t know.

@Mugski @Bangernomics Strada/Ritmo, certainly the original design, was well ahead of its time and has aged really well because it was a bit awkward looking back then but looks great now. This car is nearly 50 years old. Its contemporaries were the mk2 Escort and Vauxhall Chevette

@GeoffBuysCars @rec777777 @GBNEWS You are the people's motoring media now Geoff. PC use my Bangernomics in their mag to have a dig at me, I am banned from all Bore Media titles. All quite pathetic really.

@Bangernomics @rec777777 @GBNEWS exactly this. motoring journalists are proper wimps when it comes to speaking out. unlike you, James, who has been kicked out, and to some degree me, who is apparently banned from the practical classics rest show. pathetic isn't it.

@GhostOfFrederic @Bangernomics Then someone probably took a recent photo of it with those aftermarket wheels and faded plastic and asked AI to insert it into an 80s Fiat showroom because everything else is weird composites that trigger geeks like us with things like an Uno with two wiper blades

@Nir_Kahn Agreed. I do find AI 'Art' and images quite grim and try and avoid that.

@Bangernomics AI is a tool that has its uses, but faking up 1980s Fiat dealerships just isn’t one of them

@Bangernomics I still have a copy of your book on the Mk1 Golf GTI somewhere! Bought new many years ago.

@Nir_Kahn I didn't zoom in. AI like this is corrosive and personally I find it fairly evil. Thanks for looking closely...

@Bangernomics Take a look at the alleged 127. The Mini outside is a little bit 500 too. The Stradas are both wrong in weird little ways. The closer you look the worse it gets
