Tbh I reckon Gemmill might favour one but probably goes for the good old focus for storage space which can be sound proofed and because it ticks all the boxes on his value for money checklist.

Gemmill 42591 Posted Tuesday at 07:33 Share Posted Tuesday at 07:33 I think it's very unsavoury for a man that is KNOWN for only driving the absolute tippity top of the range (with blacked out Audi sign) to be punching down on others less fortunate than him. This must be what the Hamster felt like when Clarkson ate his lunch out the Top Gear fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3148 Posted Tuesday at 08:00 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:00 Because Australia is full of so many rednecks and long distances, our infrastructure for electric vehicles is fucked. Hybrids are the logical choice here for the moment, so we thought about moving the HR Holden on and went and test drove a Suzuki Swift mild hybrid. Small battery so the car doesn't weigh another 1000kg, self charging and under 30k for the top of the line. We tend to ride the bike or scooter around town, so we only need a car for longer trips and what is the point of having an expensive car bleeding money in the garage. The HR is staying for the moment but with the Swift getting 4L/100km we will probably go that way eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 31578 Posted Tuesday at 08:03 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:03 Well I'll be driving an electric car soon, when I was a teenager in the eighties watching Alexei Sayle I had a burning ambition to drive a Czechoslovakian car from behind the iron curtain and be the envy of my classmates so we're getting a Skoda enyaq. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 15 odd years since we saw her smiling face but hey, opposite sides of the world and that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
