Re: U Turns
Well at least it comes with a 7 years guarantee, If it goes wrong they will fix it unlike more conservative models.
Shall we call it a draw Vic?

That remains to be seen surely. A lot of guarantees are very selective in their cover.

Re: U Turns
Interesting thing U turns.
Spoke with a London taxi driver about the rules for all electric taxis.
Thye do not do the job he told me, most have gone to a hybrid model made in China and retailing at about GBP 85,000.
EV by the thousands being traded back for ICE vehicles, worthless as there is very little market for second hand EV.
Read an article put out by the EU chief constitutional lawyer.
He claims the rule that all sales of ICE vehicles must stop by 2035 is illegal based on some human rights issues.
But I question the ban on new ICE by any date.
If that is to be why then have three new servos been built in our town of about 42,000 in the last year!!!!


Happy daze John in Oz.
