Genetics.

What's the biggest issue with EVs? Range and charging times. Solve those, and these things will take off. Musk knows that the cost to do that is huge and unfeasible, so instead he puts money into giving the cars headline performance figures that do nothing except DECREASE the available range if you use them as intended. Drive the headlines, hope to increase sales that way instead of solving the actual engineering problem. Clever marketing. Good piece in CAR this month on BMW's foray into hydrogen powered cars. Just sayin'.

With regards to a Nismo making or not making much power over a stock 370 with an exhaust fitted, let's not forget that the Nismo brand is more about the looks than the actual extra go you get from any add-ons. That's not even me being an arse about it, that's how Nissan themselves describe the Nismo brand these days, hence tagging up Jukes with it. Glad you're happy with the end results though Sipar, always handy to have a bit of extra go

Can a mod not combine all these Tesla/Leaf threads please? Good debate is fine, but we keep treading old ground because it's all over the place.

Very cheap. However, you can get a Picanto/Up!/500/Aygo/Micra for the same £108 a month, which then leaves you £80 a month (£70 for the battery and £10 for electric) to buy fuel for it. Assuming they're for local use and no long trips, I reckon financially you could still be better off not going for the EV option. How does the insurance compare with an ICE car? Genuine question, I've no idea.

And this, ladies and gents, is why storming over and smashing the guy's teeth out would've been a moronic thing to do.

0-60 in under three seconds and all for just £90K wrapped up in a big bodyshell with 4WD is impressive. It's just a shame that the GT-R has been doing that trick for a while now, for £12K less. That buys A LOT of petrol.

Really? I'm not shocked at all, it was a horrendous accident and he was lucky to survive as long as he did. RIP Jules.

True, however that's not what I said.

Good cars always are.

Without stating the obvious or sounding like a parrot, almost certain it's the tyre.

They're a little bit better than what you can buy off eBay But you're right, they're really not very useful at all unless backed up with people on the ground using the mk1 eyeball to confirm.

I'm totally the black guy in that

Drive it like you stole it.

*high five*

I bet the shemale one was your favourite. Filth!

It's impossible to read that without hearing it in Luke's voice. Same as if I tell you that this was written by Morgan Freeman. I bet now you're reading the rest of this, in his voice, with the pauses he leaves. Oh yes.

That's 'cos you're a 'tard who read it wrong

Don't be mis-quoting me, you young ragamuffin!

Even in the day, at a distance it's going to be mighty hard to be sure it's him. Unless he has a green mohican or something, or just the one leg.

DBS? Interesting, likely to be a mobile chicane more than anything but worth it for the noise alone

Bad advice. Even if the footage was good enough to prove it was him, there's no such thing as a 100% win in court. All it takes is to get the wrong person on the wrong day after the night before and you can lose. The camera footage would have to be excellent (as in broadcast quality) to get a win IMHO, I've seen it happen too many times before. The CCTV should act as a deterrent, not as your proof to take him to court. If he scratches it at night, wears a coat, the sun is in the wrong direction etc then that footage will be useless.

Well, now I really want to watch it.

*grabs coat*

I've never seen 300.
