    I know this is for weight, but is there any difference between matte and gloss on an aerodynamic front?

    I don’t outright hate it, I’m just confused; why that when this:

    Maybe they were used to driving a citroen:

    Huh; I just kind of assumed that it was already, because, why wouldn’t it be? Based on that, yes, this.

    I’m guessing it wouldn’t work with their assembly lines; they’ll be designed generally around building car-sized cars, not bus-sized cars.

    This falls into the slightly confusing category of things I would never judge anyone for doing, but I would never do, and I have no real idea why (Ok, not having a car is kind of one reason, but the same applies to popping round the corner to the shops or something). Eating out of a saucepan falls into the same sort

    To be fair, i slightly misjudged the price on these; I kind of assumed they were about the same bracket as an MX5, but they do seem to come in a few K cheaper.

    I’d say they still come under two main categories; cars designed primarily as an EV, and cars designed as ICE and converted to EV. Luxury or not, that’s still the divide.

    Throwing a couple more into the mix;

    Thank you; I knew I’d seen that window arrangement on an earlier British truck, but I couldn’t figure out what; my mind was stuck on Bedford.

    The Morris marina started at £886; less than a third of the UK Mustang ii. They’re more equivalent to things like the Ford Pinto & Chevy Vega, both in cost, and, I suspect, shittiness. At £2697, the mustang comes in at £600 more than an MGB GT V8, and only about £400 short of an E-type.

    A mainstream sportscar would be preferable, but I suspect would be a far larger undertaking. It takes a lot of work to build something cheap.

    Should be better than a non-EV, really; the regenerative braking’s handled through the drive motors, so should be being cooled through the main cooling system.

    You clicked on the article, didn’t you? You must have had some degree of interest...

    To be fair, it’d be fairly easy to integrate a sensor to check if something’s tied to the tie point, and alert you if you try to drive off.

    That’s an issue if you’re planning on driving into the middle of nowhere, but, if you’re doing that, are you really likely to be doing it in a beach buggy?

    It just kinda looks like a bus?

    Why? Why would you want to make everything messy like that? do you want to bring the Corsa over as an astra, too?

    I think my favorite part of that was the kick-start
