The sub lately

I’ve pandered to this sub, now give me upvotes.

But in all seriousness, all I see these days on this sub is

Chinese company or EV = Bad

ICE = good

I’ve mentioned in a few comments how I have an EV and a new Chinese car and the replies are “I feel sorry for you.” “Your car will be worthless in 4 years” “you’re driving an iPad.” One comment was talking about supporting European manufacturers, even though it’s their own fault the Chinese brands have got a foothold in the market.

I get the majority of people in this sub are pure traditional car folk, but it’s getting a bit annoying seeing a post about Jaecoo’s or how bad EV’s are almost everyday.
If you don’t like one, just don’t buy one. They’re here to stay and don’t need luddites discussing them everyday.
Hopefully I’m not the only one who’s getting bored of these discussions

Does anybody remember this distinctive looking guy?

I’m conscious about sounding insensitive, as I assume he had some sort of medical condition that made his face look totally collapsed. His face was all droopy and his tongue was hanging out.
He would drive with the window open and his tongue flapping around. Very distinctive looking.

I’m sure he done deliveries in Bishopbriggs/Auchinairn/Springburn as I seen him there frequently, but me and my pals used to see him everywhere we went all over Glasgow. Always driving about hanging out the window.

This would have been about 20 years ago.

I’ve asked about and nobody seems to remember him. I feel others would have noticed him, especially as he seemed to be everywhere.

Just out of curiosity, does anybody have the slightest idea what I’m on about or is he a total figment of my imagination?
