PS: should have said for anyone that’s interested, that it’s made by a French company and they can’t ship it outside the continent with the battery and motor - as I found out. But you can buy it as a standard bicycle, and have those fitted locally, because it’s set up to take industry standard kit.

I sold my last vehicle and decided I wouldn’t buy another combustion engine. Here in Australia the electric vehicles I’m interested in still cost a fortune, so in the meantime I bought an electric bike to cover some of my transport needs. Here’s some promo shots of it - might appeal to some other motorheads.

AUSTRALIA had a looney farmer called Leonard Casley who declared himself Prince Leonard of Hutt after a dispute with his state government over wheat taxes. He proclaimed his property a micronation (75 square kilometres), issued his own currency, and dubbed his wife ‘Her Royal Highness Princess Shirley of Hutt, Dame of…

In college I delivered pizzas in a remote area, often during the late night shift. I had an old car with a bench seat and three-on-the-tree that probably cost me more in petrol and repairs than I made in my pay packet. Sometimes, if I was thinking about the girl who didn’t love me, and how it was just me, the night,…

I’m a previous Defender 110 owner and agree 100%. It looks like a less-rugged knockoff of a Defender. Which is a real shame because I’m all in favour of a Defender with modern build and technology. I also want to go electric - but I’d probably look forward to a Rivian before the electric version of the Grenadier,…

If F HE HAD played his cards right, Musk could have become the first aerospace trillionaire. The effects of his stupidity on world governments’ and NASA’s opinions about Space-X viability are the real damage. Who wants to partner with an impulsive, egotistical man-baby on the future of space exploration and planetary…

Get ready for the Nissan GT-R Leaf

Weird, disappointing attitude from Nissan - about the GT-R and electric vehicles in general.

Owned a 2015 Land Rover Defender 110 and loved it.
I’d happily buy an Ineos Grenadier if/when they do an electric model.

ALL I CAN THINK is that 5 years ago Nissan ran out of skunkworks money to start developing an all-new electric GT-R 5. Instead they just kept jacking up the price of the once-great Godzilla so less and less people could strive to own it. And everyone else’s technology left it behind. Sad.

I wonder if Tesla has addressed the issue all trucks seem to have - the huge blindspot at the front corners which lead to lane change near-misses and catastrophes.

One of my favorite monster films. The casting was great and the creature FX still stand up today. I always thought it deserved a sequel.

• Massively polluting without responsibility
• Covid petri dishes
• Food poisoning regular occurrence
• Nowhere to go if you’ve had enough
• Could turn into the horror film Deep Rising
What a holiday!

Hell yes

The Ineos Grenadier is the spiritual successor to the Defender. As a Defender owner I’d happily buy one of these when they go electric in 2025.

A VAN is a huge platform perfect for more or bigger batteries than a car. I don’t know why they don’t offer a longer range version.

Driving in the Australian outback I’ve never seen one of these. I don’t know why you buy an incredibly expensive, luxurious 4WD that never goes off-road.

The third bidder was L. Ron Hubbards Dynetics. Their proposed vessels were B-52's carrying nuclear bombs.

The Fiat/Seat 124 Sport Coupe were affordable, advanced sports cars for their time (1969 - 72-ish). Four wheel disc brakes, five speed gearbox, twin cam engine, great handling, great all-round visibility.
