Yes, the Reliant Robins were well known that feature.

Jeremy Clarkson demonstrated how to tip one over on Top Gear once.

A school friend at Manchester uni taught disabled to drive the blue 3 wheelers. He had one learner somehow drive up the steps to the entrance to Manchester Town Hall or some other public building there .

These days the story would be considered political incorrect. At seem to recall that I didn't share Roj's amusement.

Nah, the Nissan Leaf is pretty stable. More about the wordplay.

My mate is on his second Leaf electric vehicle, had no problems whatsoever. Got 80,000 km out of his first one without any major repairs. He moonlights as an Uber food driver. Saves loads on transport costs. First car had a rubbish range of about 80km, so when I went out with him we’d usually have to pop by a charging station for a top up when tooling around. Most recent version is a more realistic 150 km range.

I’m not sure how viable EV’s are in the more rural areas of the outback. My mate in Queensland is pretty dismissive of them.

The NZ government is mulling over banning the importation of all internal combustion engines by 2032. Plus forcing all fuel driven vehicles off the road by 2050. Not sure when final decision will be made.

@Zealandia 150 klms is ridiculous. My average trip is 250klms one way & I've never seen a recharge point.

@FrayedBear As I suspected. Oz is going to face real challenges transitioning to EV’s given the distances people travel.

Was wondering, do courier firms etc drop stuff off where you are? Could you get groceries delivered? I’m still a visit the shop type person, however if in the future couldn’t get out due to mobility issues would accept buying online.

@Zealandia in typical lazy Oz fashion the supermarkets prefer to use there assistants to go round and assemble orders received via internet, paid by card. The customer then has it delivered into their car boot in specially designated pick up parking bays.

@FrayedBear It’s called click and collect pretty much everywhere.
I’ve used this option a couple of times recently, to make sure that I secured something on sale before the stock ran out. Plus I didn’t have the time to nip in before the price went up again.

@Zealandia the best bargains are not advertised. They are called near best by date & manager specials. In manufactered dry goods the best by date is frequently 5 years before the use by date.
