This one is more you though. A year older, but only 3400 miles. Also a Category S insurance thing and a similarly pitiful range.

I play the game Graveyard Keeper, where there is a skull (called Gerry) that follows you around being generally sarcastic. So I know this to be true.

Rivian cars are styled exactly like that. Not least to appeal to the "Awwww its soooo cute" market.

There is a thread on Pistonheads at the moment, on a contract deal with the new Ford Puma E. £139 a *month*. 2 year contract, 5000 miles only, but not much more even when you wind up the mileage. Suspect other small EVs are about to follow the trend.

The Bedford Rascal is a Suzuki Super Carry, which is a Kei van. Should just about fit in there. Terrifying to drive though. 😬

My dad knows how to drive the genealogy sites, so I've asked him; It seems the little girl was born on Anglesey and her dad was a carpenter, quite why she was living here and not there, who can say! Interesting to see on that memorial stone that the managers were also from West Yorks.

Maybe with some binoculars. And stood on a veeeeery tall stepladder.

£700 extra for the heat pump aircon too, which should be standard on any non-boggo electric car. Carwow offered me one new from stock at £39,000 (£7500 off). But Autotrader has several 2024 reg ones around £24,000.
Contract rental prices are... diverse. One cheap one, many many expensive ones.

I guess you don't see it? The lights are mounted on the inside of the wings, makes them look like they are turned inwards. Admittedly not as bad as the coking version.

A bit dubious putting it on top of a box of 5.25" floppies. When it rings there are big electromagnets inside that move the clapper.

Or if that one is too attractive, there is the new version of the SQ8. In hearing aid beige. Goodness, what an attractive look. How long before the entire front of the car is grille, with just 2 pinpoints for lights.

The Audi it is copying is pretty huge and awful too, so it is accurate in that respect. Why is it that electric vehicles get the biggest radiator grilles...

I keep thinking of this. Now, whenever I see Masquerade, I'm going to think "Curlews! Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...."

To make up for it, its going to be 31C again in the UK by the weekend. Sigh. 🥵
The only Swiss car co I can think of is Sbarro, so its definitely one of those. I could see you driving this. I checked, the Lane Motor Museum doesn't have one.
