• Electric cars ... the future. 18 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  Was parked up in a spare parking bay in a local petrol station today whilst the wife popped in to get something from their shop (it's an M&S store and she likes their tinned tuna) ... and watching the queues for the pumps slowly move forward has made me think. (Incidentally, the queues moves much more slowly in this particular outlet due to everyone doing their M&S shopping whilst their car sits at a pump preventing anyone else from filling up) Anyway ... the experience of watching everyone fill up with petrol and diesel made me wonder if I really ought to consider electric next time I change cars.

• Aston Martin V8 Vantage - Advice pls: Vantage 4.3 / Jaguar XKR 12 Apr 2017 (Forum)
    But I wonder in real life what the extra parts would be 2) The Jag is auto - does this mean it won't get off the lights straight away (like my Audi TT which annoyingly waits a split second unless I use launch control)? 3) With the Jag I can either get XKR 4.2  or XKR-S which is faster but dearer. Or the 5.0 XKR which is similar price to XKR-S btu similar speed because better engine.  Any thoughts on which is better? 4) Any other advice/observations that may help me decide?
