AHA, I now see which picture your referring too...honestly no deliberate intention was intended...

It was my 4 year old daughters first time in my qp v ( with full larini) . She doesn't want to go to school in anything else now, she loves the noise. However, the i3 is my choice for the school or other short runs, easy to park as has a better turning circle than a taxi, and faster than the qp 10-10-40mph. We are lucky to live in a time which appears to be the peak of ICE

Sounds awfully like your daughter is a very sensible asset and got her head on straight from an early age ............she'll go far im sure

The steering wheel badge is totally taking the Michael out of Bentley.
Very Clever on there part for sure.

Appears to me the younger generations for all there abilities to manipulate smart phones, Xboxes and laptops learned so proficiently at school would also have understood in their history lessons the tactics employed by Helen of Troy , particularly seeing as one of the main strategies employed used a method that similarly attacks their very same consoles. Hindsight is a wonderful thing , but tends to imply that something significant happened whilst people were sleeping and going about there business totally unaware their situation was being undermined ..........I see it as history repeating itself on a grand scale and those employed to protect us should wake up to the fact.

Which of the tactics Helen employed was that, honey trap, flashing a bit of leg, extramarital affair?

(The horse was aimed at her)

Exactly my point , guilty of sleeping on the job ( who knows she well have been showing some leg at the time , nothing wrong if you have it flaunt it ) whilst those with a different agenda had entrenched themselves from within.

If it is the price that has put people off Electric cars the mass of cheap car that China is about to unleash, will perhaps swamp the market.
The 20 top cheap electric cars start at £3,200 and go to £14,000
Perhaps this is the true price point for an electric car for short shopping, or commuting, although the range of some of the cars is over 200 miles

These really aren't selling are they, I think the used EQC market has just taken a nose dive

Sadly they all look like ****

People would expect me to make that statement Peter
The last one is a rip off of the Suzuki Jeep I don't know how China still gets away with it.

 

[safrane]

Lexus, VW, DACHIA...why copy those????

 

[joered]

I am no fan of Chinese goods, However if it lowers electric car prices in general what's not to like?

Up until recently I had an old banger for two main reasons one it was small car easy to park, could not give a fig if it was dented, scratched etc. And second it saved me running up miles on the merc.

A cheap electric would also fit in with this same idea, for local shopping and occasional further journeys say up to 100 miles it is worth considering.

And as an ardent petrol head I cant believe i just wrote that!

 

[safrane]

We have a 'station' car... its worth £500.

I doubt any electrical car could match that saving.

 

[zagatoes30]

£500 bangernomics has always been the best idea for station runs had numerous over time certainly the cheapest way to run a car. AndyKs old 325 was a case in point that was a heady £950 but we put 35k over 4 years on it and sold it for €1800

If we are talking bangers, then I guess the best comparison would be a used electric banger for the station run.

If there was an electric banger that had 50 miles a range, cost pennies a mile, was always full in the morning. That would be a rather good option I suspect, if one existed.

One of the joys of running old cars is you don't care where you park them., when I had cars worth money I'd be driving round the car park for 10 minutes scoping out spaces

That will be an original leaf. They probably only do 50 miles now, but cost 2-3k to buy, not £500. Can’t get much for £500 these days though.

Electric cars are a Trojan horse for the destruction of driving

I don’t know if any of the bookmakers have started offering odds on the next net zero target to be ditched, but my tenner would go on the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate. If you haven’t heard of it – and unless you work for a car manufacturer or motor dealer you may not have – you might be...
