Some of them. So someone says here, Tutor and Doptonville says, What about classic cars? Others are 70 years old. The Beetles are still going strong. There was another one about a Beetle here. Yes. Johnny says, Good morning, Gogs. I drive a 1971 Volkswagen Beetle, still in mint condition. The older cars were built solid and strong. And so that Beetle is 55 years old. It's almost as old as my mom. And so, what happens in that case, right? So if we can, if we go

With the current proposed strategy of just age, you know, what happens to people who take care of their cars? Small infostora says, Morning Gugs, I have a RAV4, four-door, still in good condition, working perfectly. No problem. It is 23 years old and I love it. So, see, 23, still in good condition. Should we take it off the road just because it is older than 15 again? I come back to if there's a system whereby that vehicle can go and

And be tested correctly. And if the car is 25 years old, 30 years old, but it keeps passing its proper roadworthy test or its life inspection test, then why can't the vehicle be on the road? I mean, look, you will get a situation where you might have to make some changes to the vehicle to keep it on the road in terms of maintenance if you want to keep that vehicle going. But then also, to the point,

Then they would have to exempt certain classic cars. They would have to apply for a different kind of license to be on the road. Now, again, that's admin. Whereas, if you keep the test strict and you keep it uniform across the board, then you manage the process that way. Somebody whose vehicle doesn't pass, they might be given a week to rectify whatever's wrong, come back, retest, and the vehicle will pass and be put on the road. That's how you keep this going. You can't really come out and

Say, well, any car that's older than 15 years, we don't want it on the road. It needs to be scrapped. You're going to get so much backlash and so many issues regarding that. I mean, the client with a beetle, there's a saying that goes that if the world ends tomorrow, there'll be two things left on earth: a cockroach and a VW Beetle. That's just how strong those vehicles are. They were basic, they were straightforward, they were made to last. And if you keep your hand on them, they will literally drive forever.

Yeah, let's take some calls. Let's go to Marty in Alberton. Marty, a very good morning to you. Welcome to Weekend Breakfast. How's it? I hope you can hear me okay. I'm actually driving my old car. But I'm a Land Rover owner and driver, and I've got three Land Rovers. The oldest one is 1981. The current one, the most important one that I've got, is almost 20 years old. And the fender was.
