It was sensible of you to put that Honda generator in the front.

All my cars apart from the S2000 are plug-in hybrids, apparently. Bloody stupid alarms...

I wonder if I can get a container-sized nuclear reactor from Alibaba? I might have trouble reading the instructions, but who does that anyway?

I have 2 bikes and 2 cars on trickle now..

In the last week I reckon maybe 25 miles across em. Visit mums, takeaway, barber. The bikes will be in double digits for the year, cars in triple. Combined. Haha. It's all a bit pointless at the mo

can you run a ctek in the honda off the honda to charge the 12v? Seems a design oversight

Is that the true definition of a self charging hybrid

Why not go the whole hog and fit a pair of roof rails and a couple of large solar panels to the roof ... could call it the SunE

Saw one of these today as I hopped out of B & Q...


120 large, Tesla worrying pace. Sort of weird melted Panamera meets 911 twist. Big car, a true "look at me" statement.
Some people just don't pay enough tax. Tch...
Chalk and cheese with the e

I know they are fast in a straight line and all that. A Tesla driven quick looks laughably out of its depth. That horror is 2.3 tonnes. Half a tonne more than a Maser quattroporte.
An R8 weighs 1.7T and is considered lard arsed.

Electric supercars are like robot girlfriends imo
The e is a fleshlight

This is another positive review btw

if you think about it a Tesla 3 is another 10 large for a cruder thing which goes further (than I need) and breaks more (than I can bear)

Anything over £40k ought to be ICE objet de curiosite not white goods 120mpge transport with a fun edge
that Porsche is literally of zero interest to me. I suppose if you buy a panamera then why not get that, at least it won't chuck a piston

It’s no a bonnie thing though, Porsche people will buy it for the badge.
Saw an article on the BBC website about how L Hamilton is saving the planet with eracing, won’t offset the even longer F1 calendar though will it?

I wouldnt imagine motor racing is a big polluter overall. Lewis is a great driver but i see no reason to blow smoke up his ass over this, he’s not the messiah, he’s a tax dodging racing driver with girls hair who happens to be black so woke flavour of the month. A small Swedish teenager has achieved far more in that area, starting with zero profile.

i think dirty diesels need gone though, especially on the school run and big cities.

And buses. I thought the whole E-volution was going to start with public transport years ago, ridding the big germ carriers of noxious fumes from stinking old derv engines. Our govt has done jack sh&t about it

A friend works for the bus builders in Falkirk, they make many ebuses but perhaps most go abroad? I have come across some just don’t remember where, not a great bus user.
