Would you still have bought your Granturismo ?

I am never NEVER been so disturbed on a Friday morning FFS!

Phil suddenly reveals some hitherto unknown fetish, and Wattie wants to accuse me of airbrushing! Sheesh! I feel both violated and insulted!
:lol2:

Just want to make sure you're not a Yettie mate.
But for Fun and not sexual reasons would like to see a picture of yours and Watties side by side.

I feel our work is done Phil.
Your innocent request for evidence ( to assist the defendant) has been met with fetish accusations. My suspicions that this would happen are now founded as no other evidence is forthcoming.

The 2020 weigh in next week will be interesting as clearly 1,5 kg of stubble will have grown back.

It might be the future Andy but I’ll take a 1.2 litre anything with a hole in the exhaust over an electric anything.
Simple question. When we all drive electric cars, how on Earth are they gonna supply us all with charging points? They’ll need millions and millions.....

Dont disagree Wattie.....Not sure electric will be the future ...who nows but at the moment then it's what you need to have in your range I think...and like you I question how the **** we are going to charge all these cars when you only see two or three charging stations when out and about.

So I frequently drive N Wales to Aberdeen (trains and planes don't quite do it as I still need transport at both ends) 460 miles each way. So on a wet cold winter's night, everything switched on what's the best range I will get out of an EV - it's not 460 miles for sure!!

So assume that we all go electric. (I have previously owned an BMW i3 REX

If you watch the activity at a reasonably busy fuel station you see cars taking 3 to 5 minutes to fill up. Then next car in line. Roughly 2 cars per 10 minutes.

In 2018 cars, in UK covered around 328 Billion miles........
My little i3 ran at around 27KwH per 100 miles. If we all suddenly went electric then we would need around another 88,000 GwH electricity in our grid system.

The UK uses around 356,000 GwH electricity currently so we would need around another 25% electrical capacity and supply capacity in our network.

It's the supply to the charging points and the peak demand that are missing. And will take years to fix!!

Solution: sodding great V8 until the fuel runs out!
