electric cars

An interesting one here as I suppose that folks want a leccy motor to be less polluting, however all you do is transfer the pollution from your tailpipe to the power station as its got to work a bit harder to produce the leccy to recharge your battery. FWIW, you don't get somefink for nuffink - Rob

No..I just want to creep up silently on unsuspecting pedestrians :twisted:

Seriously, the main reason is economy...we do our bit for the planet in other ways ...the car we use for going down to the town is a bit of a gas guzzler but a joy to drive on long distance journeys. So we wouldn't really like to get rid of it. We could get a diesel runaround I guess but somehow the thought of an electric car appeals. Either that or a push bike

... thinking laterally one of these perhaps?

Nice idea, Ike...but it's not the exercise I'm worried about but the fact that I will be cycling down very narrow twisty country lanes ..
