They still don't get it! (EV sceptics)

[T1 Terry]

I love the come back with how electricity doesn't really smell as it refills the tank on the way down the hill, and how good it feels driving past a fuel station. When they come out with the cost and how slow it is to recharge the battery, I agree that it takes all day sometimes .... but then, the sun is free, so I put up with the inconvenience .....

I have kept the same approach for years now. Whatever silly anti EV bingo claim they come up with, just agree, it usually encourages them to come up with even more silly claims which you should also agree with (and laugh yourself silly inside). I mean they are paying a huge amount of tax through their fuel purchases and are driving smelly nasty vehicles (just try driving an ICE car after having an EV for a while, it really surprises me how bad they are). I have had an EV for getting on 9 years now, and fully appreciate how much ICE drivers contribute to the countries financies, and am happy to let them keep on paying.

Would love the T7 buzz being retired and offering free deliveries for my lads best I can do is T2 and T6.1 plus my MG 4 lol

Nah, one of those flat panelled jobs they replace the Bay Window with, then add an MG4 motor and battery pack from a salvage write off ..... they write off any RV in NSW when it's been in a prang it seems ...... Damien Maguire has developed an inverter board that uses the open source software so it can be powered up and fully controlled without all the MG4 other stuff needed to make it work

Used to watch Vintage Voltage. They convert mostly vintage cars (obviously).
It ain't cheap, for example they did an
original Fiat 500, that was 30 grand. Depends on what you want.

Unfortunately not mate, the Landcrab (Austin 1800/2200) was about 6 inches longer than the Maxi.

I’m fairly certain I’m an age.

And felt like a mile wider too - but I’d settle for a Maxi, nice car.

Yes the Maxi was a nice car, it was actually a big step up from the 1800/2200, much posher, and the 1750 engine was very nice.
