Meanwhile, when is this forum going to allow editing of posts beyond a 20 minute cut-off?

One of the better sounding V6's though with some nice supercharger wine in the mix too, as opposed to the horrible wining an Alloytec naturally exhibits.

I’d have thought that privilege was applied to donating members?

Thinking about trading the XR8 on the latest Outlander PHEV ....seam to be the best spec/ value plug in

Just put solar in so it makes sense to have an EV (doesnt really excite me) but neither does having two v8,s in the shed that i cant afford to run

Hybrids are a better way to go atm.PHEVs are a pain.Range is not that good on pure electric.Hybrid just charge when it needs to.Check out a Hybrid before you commit.

I initially thought the same 20kw battery 4x electric motors with regenerative braking makes them basically the same as a hybrid 80km around range covers short runs into town and being able to charge it for free it's a good option

50 to 60 k to spend just buy 30 to 40 commodores and part them out as they die.
That way you make money and are kept busy so you will stay off the booze.
