There won't be any 20 year old EVs


Men don't get smarter as we age.  We just run out of stupid stuff to do.

Pleased for you, Scrumpy.

My old (ish)  Panda is  a mere 12 years old,  but I was still very relieved and happy when it passed it's  MOT last autumn.    
I would have probably thrown a party if it was as old as yours, and still passed.   :smiley:

Our Honda will be 18, still less than 45000 on the clock. 
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

Lovely car that. those cars are 3.385m long. 
They don't make cars like that any longer.

There must be some appropriate pills  :grin:

They only reversed it onto her drive because that's the only gear that works 😬

The gears on my Peugeot 106 used to hate going into reverse.
They'd protest loudly.

First car I ever drove, and learned in was a Ford Zephyr, bench seats, gears up at the steering wheel, and big fins on the back. Cracking car very American I used to think.
But when I got my own car I had to learn the gears all over again as they were on the floor and always seemed to be backside forward to me.  :busted:
That's probably where my love of big 4x4s comes from.

My first car was a mini.

Always wanted one! What was the series - z cars?
