Big chip on your shoulder

Pays your money make your choice. You are a convert, I’m not. No right or wrong imo. Enjoy your EV, you will be buying one. Was it you who removed the option to view who voted what?

Wrong! Air cooled Porsche, VW and Citroen 2CV are not water cooled

Man City when Pep lost it with GP for celebrating the winner. Sadly I was not there Stuffing GP’s Chelsea

Yep, having owned a couple of Porsche, lovely cars, but the Porsche tax on parts is a piss take. A drivers rubber door seal on a Porsche 993 Targa is £600 and that does not include fitting. Avoid unless you are very rich or want to be seen in a Porsche!

Your husband is the boss isn’t he, do you also have a desire for an electric Lambretta? :lolol:

Wow, so you have decided that any one who owns and drives a nice ICE sports car needs sympathy for intruding on your ears? Not sure I can carry this on without being much ruder than you are being, so I’ll leave it there. It has absolutely nothing to do with being noticed as I tend to use my...

No you are confused between the sound of a sports car exhaust note and a chav mobile exhaust note. No comparison I’ll live with your compassion and concern as I pootle by in my sports car in town. I just hope a hard of hearing person doesn’t step out in front of your silent car. Don’t be too...

I rest my case for one of the reasons I don’t like EVs. I am not knocking, just saying it’s not for me, I understand the advantages and I have a drive and garage so could easily buy an EV. I just don’t want one.

Well I prefer to hear a nice exhaust note over a sewing machine noise but each to their own :shrug: The pitch of the engine noise is part of driving a manual car, you either get it or you don’t Many don’t given how much they over rev their engines, the auto gearbox is a godsend for them :lolol:

I think quite a few people still feel quite strongly that they don’t want an EV and prefer a lighter more nimble better sounding ICE vehicle so I doubt they’ll ever take over completely until there is no choice. Some won’t even switch from a manual to a PDK/automatic

OK which mod removed the ability to see who voted what on the poll and why??? Surprised the voting is close to 50/50

I’d be all for taxing heavy polluting vehicles too but I am also for taxing heavy vehicles which includes many SUVs and EVs :smile:

Yes and No currently neck and neck if you add in “have one already” to Yes

i could be swung towards an Alfa hybrid…maybe

Inefficient ICE vehicles have a soundtrack, that is actually important to some of us :shrug: Non SUV sporty ICE vehicles also handle much better than a lardy EV You pays your money and takes your choice. In the case of an EV much more money for a bland and often shoddily put together Tesla or...

Nowt wrong with modern Skodas, especially if getting from A to B in comfort is your wont.

Fair enough. I am the opposite, I love driving on open roads. Not much of a fan of driving in heavy traffic which seems to be most driving these days in the South. Continental A road driving in an ICE car with a lovely exhaust note in a sporty car is as much fun as watching the Albion win for me...

How do you know you don’t like driving if you don’t drive?

Simple question, assuming you could fund it easily and that it would be your only car How much behind going EV and allegedly saving the planet is NSC?
