Much like the current company that I work for, ask too much and I might just stop altogether.pinno said:The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Hybrids? Not a bad idea...pinno said:
I think the long term solution that they should be pushing is self charging hybrids and I do not know why the govt. is so intent on pushing electric vehicle ownership and the legislation due to kick in in 2030 when there is an obvious shortfall in infrastructure.Stevo_666 said:
They will, but might be too late for some of us. I think the message is that we shouldn't be putting all our eggs in one basket on the car propulsion front.focuszing723 said:It is a bloody shame the cost of electric has sky rocketed now, who would have predicted that?
I still keep thinking Cern will discover cheap abundant electricity with their Bosons n tangs.
If legislation dictated that an electric or hybrid car used only electricity below 30 mph to keep urban pollution to a minimum, then you tick a large environmental box,
Also, hybrids require far less batteries as we know that the production of electric cars is far more environmentally damaging than current production of ICE vehicles.

Aston Valkyrie - I'd like to have a go on track.

Not exactly what I’d call a ‘looker’. But hey, if you’re inside driving it having fun, who cares!Stevo_666 said:Aston Valkyrie - I'd like to have a go on track.

Incredible it's a legal road car. I thought the Senna was about as extreme as you could get, ignoring kit cars.Stevo_666 said:Aston Valkyrie - I'd like to have a go on track.

It's good to see Aston Martin have a good start to F1 as well. Mercedes engines.0 -
Yup, the Senna is extreme, as in extremely ugly. It upsets me that it carries the Senna name. Just an abomination. It’s truly awful. Good job most will be kept tucked away in owners garages never to blight our roads again.focuszing723 said:

Don't suppose anyone can recommend a good bike carrying car, auto, under say £12k. Reliability>driving pleasure (driving is a chore)

Or is this not that sort of thread? Maybe more like the old "Big girls..." thread, but for cars...secretsam said:Don't suppose anyone can recommend a good bike carrying car, auto, under say £12k. Reliability>driving pleasure (driving is a chore)

Yep, I guess you don't look at the mantelpiece when you're poking the fire, as the saying goeswavefront said:

TBH, predictable but excellent suggestion.pinno said:
I did look at vans, but they cost more than cars!

This is the updated cheapo Halfords one I got... absolutely solid as a rock. Needs a spanner to put it on/take it off, but no fancy mechanism to worry about. Also no worry about height in ferries or car parks. Or bad backs.

I have the smaller hang on Thule rack, triple version, mech clips over towball and locks. Do have to strap on the plate and lighting board but simplez.0

I went for the Halfords as I was taking four bikes with friends (down to the French place), and the Thule came in really pricy once you put on the 4th-bike extension, plus you don't need a strap-on (for the number plate). The Halfords bloke said not to go for their more expensive model, as the cheapo one was just as good (as long as you don't want to be opening the hatchback too often while it's on - then it's a PITA).0 -

And the big car. With a towbar.

Possibly followed by an inmodded 90’s (third gen) RX-7.
