For a bit of fun, go on Ali express and search Electric Cars or even Saic Electric cars . Delivery costs will need to be discussed as well as registration and homologation discrepancies. A 2026 MG4 urban for around 9000 euros ? Maybe a source for spare parts when your present car is out of...

We always had the same ice cream van that came around every day at 5.00pm for years on end . A new van started coming around at 4.30 pm and nicking the originals round and trade. This went on for a week until the first caught wind of it, cue , Starsky and Hutch, but in ice cream vans with full...

On a standard road map its downhill all the way from just south of Edinburgh to north London. You will need to charge up several times for the return journey. o_O

Pro- russian regimes will trade with them . Many " neutral " countries who see an opportunity to make profit will forgo any moral reservations to trade at advantageous rates , that might include massive countries such as China, India , even the EU to some respect. The USA is not immune from...

You can give them a quick inspection yourself. Put on full steering lock and one can be seen on top , a torch helps . It is about 18 inches in in front of the wheel and reachable to clean and get your fingers in to feel for any obvious tears or cracking. Putting on opposite lock reveals the...

May I apologise to everyone, its my fault , yesterday to my wife's anguish I sat down and watched both the Curling and the Rugby. Should have known better ! after watching the recent Cricket tests.
