Had the Aprilia for a while now but just added the KTM to the stable.

Definitely looking for a bit of a unicorn. There are only around 140 to 150 RHD cars left on the road, the majority of which are black. The youngest of these are near enough 20 years old now so there will be very few of those 140/150 cars with less than 70k on the clock. My guess would be there...

We have been incredibly lucky with the weather this weekend. We had a 20 min spell just after lunch today but other than that it's been roofs down all weekend. Even stayed dry for the Saturday night BBQ.

Took a few tries to get an answer but got through in the end. All paid up, 10% same as Tony.

I wonder how much of that is down to people not wanting a manual and how much of it is down to having green as the one and only colour choice available.

The engine used in the Alpina roadster s and the e46 B3.3 is a bored out version of the S52B32 engine that BMW used for the e36 M3 over in North America.

Based on what evidence? If you have links to genuine evidence that EV batteries are “guaranteed” to need replacing the I would genuinely love to read it.

I disagree, our entire economy and way of life is completely dependent on the easy movement of people and goods. Now the government has mandated that the way we do that Must change. For that to happen a fundamental part of the infrastructure that we need has to change too. To largely leave it...

I’d really love to know why you believe it will need a new battery? Genuine question. Where is the fact based evidence you have for this? Please god don’t tell me it was something you read in the Daily Fail!

If you’re being glib for the sake of example implying EV’s are a bit dull to drive then I 100% agree. But then my Skoda superb was, and so was the Kia I had, oh and my wifes VW Golf, most cars are.

Yes and almost all of them only came with a 3 year warranty and they sill work just fine :P .

You see this is a classic example of one of the myths about batteries that perpetuate on the Internet. The battery in your phone is completely unmanaged so does degrade by around 2-3% per year. In battery terms things like phones get abused, almost always being charged to 100% (ofter daily)...

My wife and I have both converted over to EV’s for our daily drivers and I did quite a lot of research before making the jump a while ago with our first one, a BMW i3. Are EV’s perfect? No. Are they going to be the answer for everyone in their present form? No. But the more I researched the...

Post updated. Thanks for pointing that out. Thanks Paddy. Not sure what's next to be honest.
