Is top down motoring safe at the moment with all those deadly Corona-virus spores in the air ?
It's far healthier than being cooped up at home with all those toilet rolls, beans and pasta that are probably covered in the virus  My wife returned from her normal mid week shop in a state of mild shock yesterday at the buying madness at Sainsburys and Lidl, what the hell is wrong with these people. I agree. Total madness. I have heard that the government has ordered manufacturers of antiseptic hand washes and tissues to only supply the NHS from now on. Presumably the NHS will ration and distribute these. Seems sensible to me. I could only find one packet of soap in Waitrose yesterday. Panic buying is totally unnecessary and anti-social. We have pukka handwash stations in all our site cabins and have been unable to get our usual pump bottles of hand steriliser for some weeks now, despite having rolling top-up orders placed, when I chased my primary supplier again yesterday, he said their last import was seized just before export from Holland docks

Somebody went in my local Lloyds Bank and stole the hand gel.
Usually they steal the charity box.

That's South Yorkshire for you !!! Not just S Yorkshire (BTW - my  would give you a proper crack on the head with her rolling pin for that; she's from Barnsley) . My sister bought some items for the food bank at Tesco in Winchester yesterday, and couldn't find the food bank container. They've had to move it as people were stealing from it.

Oh yes definitely, I bought herself a cracking POLO 1.8 TSI GTI 192PS 3d and will negotiate them delivering it down here tomorrow in the price. It's time to buy boys and girls the dealers are dealing at last. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/03/09/gti.png) Just like this one but 3 doors (aesthetics) with panoramic sunroof.

Make sure you disinfect it after they hand over the keys! Enjoy.

People were stealing hand sanitizer from hospitals, and we are supposed to be living in a developed country!  No wonder some of US citizens were queuing up to buy guns for self protection

Back on topic...currently driving a Tesla Model3 performance. I had an opportunity to order an Aero8 a few years ago when I visited Oakmere, I think It comes to around £90k. But backed out at last minute. I can't justify paying nearly £90k for a PlusSix and £70k for Plusfour , I could buy a Porsche Taycan for £90k! Will definitely not buying now due to covid19, I might catch it with dire consequences!
