birch-chorley Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 In one. Exactly the reason i ain't having one. Tax savings though were massive. I've not spoke to him yet but my he told my old man it will pay itself off in 4 or 5 years due to various savings (tax, fuel etc) I just can't see it as they are bloody expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 In one. Exactly the reason i ain't having one. Tax savings though were massive. Aye, about 300 miles on a full charge is no use to me at all. They do look cool though. I'm sure given another couple of years there will be a load of decent electric cars available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted October 12, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2016 THIS Not this. At one time maybe but renewables are getting better and better so it won't be long before we all have electric cars of some persuasion. Just needs battery technology to improve.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 13, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2016 Why not have motorways converted into conveyor belts Drive your car on and turn the engine off Fook knows how you get off but it's a work in progress Used to imagine pretty much this but for pedestrians. A succession of progressively faster belts. Step on the first at say five mph. Then to ten and so on. Only ever stepping up five but end up rapid.

Sweep Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I need my dyson animal to last more than 15 minutes. Fucker runs out pre vinegar. I'm befuddled why they don't use the same type of lithium-ion battery employed in the F5000 - I can easily get a could 45 minute session out of it, even when I select "beast mode" and use the hammer action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Aye No need for taxi’s, your car can just pick you up Something daft like 99% of accidents are down to human error. Be a much smoother system if we are all in driverless cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter only1swanny Posted March 20, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2018 Read the news article, reads that she just stepped out in front of it..
