Needs moar Ami 6 Berline.

Some Japanese people just loooove that old rose type pink. Maybe it’s a thing in other Asian markets as well?

My pal lived in the German Democratic Republic (i.e. East Germany) itself. Zwickau was just a couple of hours away.

Citroën Kegresses were also popular with some estates in Scotland. They were often the only thing that could go on the boggy moors and come back.

A pal from the old GDR told me how you got a Trabbi:

The Japanese are still at it. Read and weep.

You’re completely correct, and thank you for calculating it through. I’d only add that it’d probably take a bit longer still because you’ll likely need electricity to run domestic appliances as well.

I’ve always quite fancied full electric RVs, but that’s assuming a very different kind of #vanlife: one in which where you go and when is determined by the charge in your batteries.

Ooh, the new 6 cylinder Boxster GTS 4.0?

I’d say “92% of the cabin’s top surface is windows”, but that is an even more impressive statement now than it was back then.

Given a standard barrier, why not?

Get a bicycle, and you can pretty much do that every day.

As a city dweller, EVs like the Mini SE are optimised for the one place where they are inconvenient and/or impossible to use: the city.

I think you might be mixing up your second and third order Baudriallardian simulacra. Viz:

The thing that really struck me is that there isn’t as much difference between 1972 and 1982 as I would have expected: there’s an awful lot of Fords and Vauxhalls (i.e. GM) in both. Sure, there’s fewer BMC/BL stuff in the picture from Bath, but they are still there.

Quite right. And I think he’s mistaking an Allegro estate for a Reliant Kitten, which is an easy thing to get wrong from that angle:

Low revs, but lots of torque 😜

I don’t remember it personally, but I remember the pictures. In the Netherlands, they decided to get around the shortage by having ‘car-less sundays’. Cue hippies organising happenings on the roads
