Stock purchase or a cancelled order you have lucked out on?

Tesla sadly. There model works really well for supplying cars quickly I think

Plus our company runs a huge fleet so I guess that helps

 

[Kenny]

Just don't get into an accident! Their parts supply is appalling at the moment.

I have a driver who reversed into, I can only presume, the hulk and needs 8 parts to repair the boot. Accident was Nov 23. Should be fixed by January 25.

Their model is superb though for a quick turnaround.

Wish I'd gone electric sooner, only had it a few days but a joy to drive and only 6p per mile, still on standard tarrif with BG, happy days!

My old car is up for sale with the Garage. Quite surprised they have only added just over 3k to the price they purchased it for

Car arriving 2nd April. Happy with that as it was ordered on the 12th December. Decent turn around.

Could have had it next week but I need to be in Leeds so couldn't guarantee I would be here the 2 days available next week. Fake Death of Jesus weekend ruining the other chance of having it before the end of next week.

Mine isn't due until the end of May despite being ordered well before Christmas. Was originally told mid-Feb delivery as well, bastards.

And a fook off to the trains it is.

I think you may have a point, my all bells and whistles nearly new Sportage has to go in to the dealership on Friday for an exhaust regeneration fix because I don’t fucking bomb up and down a motorway every other day.

The way to go...

Hydrogen energy hub plans approved - BBC News

The HyBradford facility at the former Birkshall gas storage site is expected to open in 2025.

I sat with a former high level director from Centrica during a presentation on use of Hydogen and he is absolutely pissed himself laughing. Its going to very niche and there will be zero mass market cars using it

I’m sure when I was a kid there was a conspiracy theory that someone had invented an engine that ran on water and the big petrol conglomerates had him bumped off.

You can create Hydrogen from water and I think this has been tested as part of an 'engine'. Bit pointless though as you need electricity to create the hydrogen for the engine to move the motor. You may as well just use an electric motor since electricity is easier to store, safer and the process is more efficient.

Well it was a conspiracy theory, Elvis mentioned it the other day while I was in the Fish and Chip shop.
