Unlike its domestic rivals, Chrysler opted not to design its own small car for North America at the start of the '70s. Instead it imported the Hillman Avenger from its UK subsidiary, rebranding it as the Plymouth Cricket. A fairly short-lived model, it mainly sold as a 4-door sedan. #weirdcarbs

So the Renters' Rights Bill completed Parliament today. It has taken some time and I think we've forgotten what an important and really substantial piece of legislation it is. A huge and valuable change is coming (even if we don't know exactly when yet).

This is better from the Courier. Helping to tackle misinformation and defuse tensions. One of the most common lies peddled by those trying to divide our communities over asylum is this rubbish about criminality. The police in Perthshire confirm - there is absolutely no evidence.

The largest Honda to date, the fwd 1300 saloon went on sale in Japan in 1969, and features in 77 Deluxe form in this brochure. With a 1298cc air-cooled engine, it was decidedly unconventional compared to Japanese rivals, and had a fairly short production run, with limited exports. #weirdcarbs.
