Title: Honest John
Post by: hemming on March 03, 2020, 12:07:44 PM: It seems that Honest John's weekly online agony column has stalled. There are rumours that this may be connected to a change of ownership or possibly financial problems. Does anyone have any insight which may throw any light on the situation?

Yes - he is absolutely passionate about it and not just branded but the super petrols like V Power. For people like me who have the automotive equivalent of hypochondria, he's a nightmare! I never gave it a thought until I read an article by him some years ago.

Adblock solves that.
