That'll be it!
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

The highway where trucks work like electric trains.
When I first saw this I thought it was a spoof.

That’s one way of keeping trucks in the inside lane on the motorway. Will need to be fitted with a cow catchers to deal with Honda Jazz drivers doing 50 mph in the inside lane though.

Perhaps the minimum speed for cars on motorways should be 60mph ? (where traffic conditions allow)
And any car nor capable of doing that, like some older classics should be banned from using motorways.
Going too slow can be more dangerous than (not excessive) speeding.

We are getting an electric car in january.
We are waiting for a home electrical charge point to be fitted.
Unfortunately the car cost more than £32,000.
They are however fitting it free and the car costs less than £270 a month.
All I had to do was survive a massive brain bleed and pay 50% of my pip.

Yes, I agree. I think synthetic fuel is part of Porsche's plan to keep the 911 ICE (at least a bit). There was a comment Harry made in a GTS review where he said that in effect at the moment every Taycan they sell allows them to make a 911 (assuming they don't all end up at the bottom of the ocean). I suspect the other sports car makers are working with similar maths.
Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.

I watched his recent review of the new Range Rover hybrid. He’d had it for three months and averaged 67mpg. Use dependent of course, but I thought it was quite impressive.
