The Squeezed Middle

If you cast your mind back to the last UK elections you’ll remember this phrase being chucked about a lot. I can’t remember who exactly said it, as all politicians have since become a faceless blur to me, blithering on about a financial crisis which none of them control. This blog, despite a title based in politics, is about cars. Who this squeezed middle is in society seems to be something that no one wants to define. However with the much simpler motorcar, it’s more easily pin pointed.

Trader Dreamer: BTCC Special I

YouTube is a wonderful thing, aside from millions of hours of utterly pointless drivel and many more comments of the same ilk, there’s seemingly no limit to what you can watch. I’ve recently been entertaining myself by watching BTCC videos. I’m a huge fan of the super touring years of the sport, and YouTube makes it possible to watch those races on demand. This is the first of ‘Trader Dreamer’s inspired by this great racing series, and it’s natural to start with the year 1990, the first year to feature the new 2-litre class that would make the series so very special.
