    Whatever ones view on EVcars, not being able to park or charge, expensive insurance, reliability?, etc, is going to limit their appeal and utility. If they lose the free road tax & other perks, there's no incentive :confused:

    Finally its rideable!

    Sweet build :cool: . Is the manual one Campagnolo? They do polish up nice, maybe the alloy was better quality then?

    Could be OK for a classic with blown engine and only leisure mileage being put on it. Sadly a 308gt is not in my price range, electric or no! :p

    What happened here? Batt at 50% is toast and he says he may get £6k for it. Thought he was fair, if pricey! (No mention of Nissan batt renewal on warranty)

    Realistic? Says got it for £1500, but needs a battery! ("Only use half capacity for long life. So if one wants to travel 150km return, get a 300km batt car. These no good senor) :rolleyes:

    Hoping to increase driver passing distance at night, I've glued front and rear reflectors to my wing mirrors.

    There was a rash of those a year ago going by the YT vids. Some bikes come with them. The light, indicators, alarm and horn one ticks all the boxes except no matching front lights, hehe :cool:

    Maybe the "unusual" voting pattern was *too* obvious. Like "It's true that Wisconsin's voter rolls include about 120,000 voters who are listed as having registered more than a century ago" USA today. ;)

    Y, 60euros to diagnose on computer followed by "uneconomic to repair, buy a new one". Car got shunted, insurance said writeoff, 1000euros to repair with 2nd hand parts, back on road. "But they'll have a robot to do that for you in year 2525, what're you complaining about?". And in the...

    Like the stairway to heaven. He can go meet his maker electrically! :) "If the stairs are for us in a public or semi-public space and are situated in an area where large numbers of people may gather, then there should be no more than 2 consecutive flights of stairs, and each flight having a...

    Rear Hub Motor - Correct Order for Washers?

    Is there any merit in getting those deluxe nuts with the captive serrated washer, for grip and minimise dropout scratching? Posh bikes seemed to have them! Not sure where they're measuring the 14mm on these, across the flats?

    If only.. tempting. I still think that "etheric power" stuff sounds too good to be true though. The grid should be almost self powering if all that's needed is insulated cables at height and trigger power? Like an air alternator that needs battery juice for the field coils. Add 12million volt...

    Difficult to imagine that this has not been foreseen. So the Logical* conclusion is that it is all intentional, n'est ce pas? France is extending the life of its reactors to 40, 50yrs, and more to cope with demand. Remember, you can continue to cook with a nuke! :)...

    Oh, but it was meant to do that, hehe. The infallible AI wouldn't have let it simply crash? And it's more "sustainable" if they can fish their project-iles back out of the pristine English channel, haha. Maybe that's why they call it a "Miss-ile" ;)
