I have a theory that there's a secret competition among manufacturers to see just how ugly they can make a car and still manage to sell it.

I still feel like I've been gently punched in the gut from a full-bore standing start... after a year of getting "used to it"...

Sounds like every software project I've ever worked on. :ROFLMAO: :cry:

Mine sometimes doesn't and I have to turn it on manually! I sometimes think modern technology is gaslighting me...

AIUI, if you buy a new EV from April onwards, you pay £10 for first year. Thereafter, you pay the "standard" rate. Basically, exactly the same as ICE vehicles have been doing for years now - one price in year 1, then the standard rate.

Well knock me down and cover me in Twiglets(1), just had an email from them with a renewal offer fo just £343! Need to check the fine print methinks... but it's just possible they have genuinely "quoted me happy"! :D (1) Other savoury snacks are available.

I'm with Quoute Me Happy - £300 last year, gonna be more like £450 this year and I seem to get a better deal through the Meerkats than renewing direct. Hmm. They're Aviva under the covers...

The eTourneo isn't, it's a ground up design. The ICE/hybrid baby Tourneo is based on the VW Caddy platform, the pure electric one is 100% Ford (and looks nothing like the others).

Challenge accepted! :devilish:

I discovered this afternoon that the option also won't come up with the driver's door open.

Could do with some of that wet stuff down here. I think my portable air conditioner must be as northern as me, 'cause neither of us is coping with 34 Celcius...
