Electric Fox Update! What is the future?

[@cashawX10]

I am actually glad in way, as I would love to see the Fox up and running with a petrol engine as nature intended it to be.

[@Robert_B_445]

Me too but I think we'll be in minority with this

[@HubNut]

I'm with you to be honest. My enthusiasm had begun to drop a little for the electric conversion.

[@buggs9950]

I know of a mechanically good Suzuki Cappucino looking for a home..

[@TonyLing]

I met a guy with a CNG Fox once. How about that for an alternative fuel project?

[@bangerbangerbro]

What do you mean? It has a petrol engine because that was then standard. If electric was common at the time it would have been electric. It's an economy model reliant. It's purpose is to be cheap to insure and run, and not much more; not even really to be cheap to buy.

[@stephenbibby8650]

Ahh I remember that dash very well . I owned a couple or three Reliant Robins back in the early 80’s which had the same dash board .

[@6NPA]

Come to Croatia ,you can drive my Yugo :)

[@thesunreport]

I'm quite fond of that little Fox already so was looking forward to an update...sorry the electric plans didn't work out...but I hope you can get her up and running before too long!! :)

[@Qwerty1235945]

It’s going to be an interesting journey whatever route you take. 2019 is looking very interesting. Thanks for the update.

[@vampireechidna]

Oh that's a great shame. An electric fox would have been interesting. One of the kind! It would be good to see you get it on the road though. Fingers crossed it goes well.

[@Bladerunner4511]

Interesting times cant wait great update have a great weekend mate

[@markpirateuk]

Glad to see the Fox will stay original, if it handles like a Kitten, you will really enjoy it. One of my greatest regrets was parting with mine!

[@oldbatwit5102]

That thing is light enough for a clockwork conversion.

[@benday1218]

A pound from every Hubnut subscriber, and you could crowdfund the electric conversion! ;-)

[@Robutube1]

Good idea Ben.

[@Bryan-fg3ey]

Iam up for that. £1 gets you on a list of donators. £10 gets your name on the car (a little sticker) £100 gets your company name £1000 gets your/company name on a 70's style green sun shade across the top of the windscreen.

[@CortinasAndClassics]

Patreon!

[@HubNut]

I'm flattered guys, but not this time. I have the Fox, I have an engine. Plan B is not so ugly a fall-back. Now, an electric TWC on the other hand...

[@Robutube1]

I've seen in another reply here that Ian doesn't think that this is the project for that... sadly :-(.

[@MegaWayneD]

Bass guitar strings = best way of getting the rubber seals around the new windscreen!

[@HubNut]

Handy, given I'm a bass player...

[@MegaWayneD]

I genuinely didn't know that! I'm a Fender Jazz fan personally. It made replacing the windscreen seal on our old Baywindow VW Camper a doddle. Bonus points if you can make the Lou Reed "Walk on the Wild Side" sound when you pull the stings out.

[@earnestbunbury2103]

"Hub-Nut flew into Miami FLA... Drove a Spitfire across the U.S.A..." ;-)

[@harpsi8]

The swift fox will be a great car under your care. I look foward to its videos. I think their are many grants out there, finding grants is an art form itself. There may be books and computer programs for grantfinding. Not to leave out crowd funding. I like your videos Ian. Brings enjoyment to my day. All the best to you and Mrs Hubnut. Rich & Cats driving the streets of Los Angeles , USA 🇺🇸

[@ianwigmore738]

Never mind. All is not lost. Can't wait to see the fox in action 👍👍

[@adamtoms2726]

Well, well done for trying. Can’t wait to see this project start. Also when it’s completed many moons from now will you be adding it to your t shirt range. As I think it will be just as worthy as tiny TWC and the Mighty Dacia!!

[@HubNut]

Oh yes. I should think so.

[@derekhallows9479]

I'm looking forward to the " fox project " I will be looking out for you at the n.e.c take care.

[@kensherwood4866]

Thanks for the update, as you say there is still a project Fox to look forward to just not electric version. With the birthday celebrations for the 2CV next year I assume it will be deux chevaux year in 2019. Nice to see those old BL Marina inner door handles. Also surprises that a van with some basic solutions, like sliding windows got such a comprehensive set of gauges

[@HubNut]

2CV celebrations have been this year, though production didn't really start until 1949. Next year is Citroen's centenary.

[@ginggur17]

It will still be an adventure, that’s what counts.

[@jeg1972]

Sad about the DIY electric conversion, but still happy we'll get a project out of it either way :-)

[@twocvbloke]

That's a shame, but, at least the Fox will still live on regardless, though looking at the mould, I think it's already living, yeesh... :P

[@RichieRouge206]

Still a cool vehicle regardless - thanks for the update.

[@SuperFIFTHGEAR]

Everything happens for a reason. This one opportunity not working out only opens another door. It'll be very interesting to see it all pan out. :-)

[@Tmuk2]

Damnit! That would have been fascinating

[@saxilbyjoe4325]

I did a windscreen replacement on a 1980 Datsun Cherry N10. I think my Dad described it as "character forming". Cost £10 from a scrap yard and some old brake fluid to clean off overspray. Looking forward to seeing how the fox turns out.

[@mrme2483]

Im looking forward to this. Being the previous owner of a Robin 850super that i regret selling, i have a soft spot for the Reliants

[@robhosking9399]

Would Have Been Fascinating To See An Electric Fox! Shame The Funding Wasn't There. Still, I'm Sure The Fox Engine Will Live For Many Years With A Full Overhaul Ian!

[@mehrzahl2219]

That will be a hell of a job...how about spare parts supply? Window rubbers, suspension bushings, exhaust bits...are they available in the UK?

[@HubNut]

Most bits are easily available.

[@ac1818]

It will be still good to get the fox back on the road, can't be many out on the road up and running 👍

[@davidk6271]

I’m looking forward to that engine going back in. Dont forget the core plugs! ,

[@wanderinggentile]

I am looking forward to learning about the internals of the Reliant engine, with which I have no experience. The electric project is interesting, but we are one major advance in storage from classic sports cars being repurposed with electric drivetrains, their IC engines made extinct.

[@HowardLeVert]

Thanks for the update - and _really_ looking forward to your *proper petrol* Fox rebuild. Is this going to be another autumn/Christmas special to interest us all, just like TWC was last year? Hope so, it made the long nights more bearable here waiting for updates :)

[@HubNut]

That's the plan, though the 2CV is also pushing for an engine rebuild and TWC still needs her transmission sorted out. Lots of projects!

[@dannyhtheretrogamingmaster9548]

At least we now know what the plan with the fox will be now. It'll be great once finished.

[@terryatkinson899]

I would prefer the petrol engine you've got for the fox. More tinkering for us to see and original is best I think for such a rare beast.

[@jamescalcutt5503]

it would be nice just to see on the road!!

[@CortinasAndClassics]

Maybe keep the idea for the electrofox on the backburner. I would love to see it happen one day.

[@CHARVA929]

How about that body on a Jimny chassis and running gear? No idea if it would fit but would make a great go anywhere utility vehicle. Perfect for Welsh winters!

[@HubNut]

An idea, but if it's not going to be electric, it's going to be standard.

[@nico.c97]

😢i was hoping for an electric conversion, but hey at least it won't be an LS1 swap

[@sim6699]

LS1 swap would be great fun

[@Smurphenstein]

I think you need a barn for all these wee gems.

[@HubNut]

I think I do.

[@rickbarkley3617]

I can't wait to see the fox running soon. What year is your fox built in?!

[@HubNut]

Late 1983 build, registered January 1984.

[@rx6180]

Ooh...Morris Marina Mk1 interior door handles!

[@speedstrn]

You should check out Damien Maguire's 1000 euro DIY EV conversion video series, using a diesel E36. He's not done with it yet, but lots of good information to make a budget EV out of an old beater car.

[@raleighsexton7734]

Follow Damien, but his contacts for parts are vastly better than mine. Couldn't touch his 1000 euro ev for $3000 in US.

[@dquad]

It will drive just like a Robin but without the flippy bit.

[@dodgydruid]

What flippy bit is that? Drive my Robin like I stole it and its been stable as a rock on corners, even done a vid here on youtube taking some gnarly double bends and race round like a champ lol

[@bangerbangerbro]

Is that all you could come up with?

[@jaggass]

That's a shame but at least you have an engine ready to go into the Fox. Im going to Wythall on sunday may see you there if you can make it.

[@HubNut]

Not this year sadly.

[@frglee]

I'd very much like to see the Fox back on the road. It doesn't have to be a concourse restoration job, just something that produces a useful little vehicle. They were never very common on the road - and would be interesting to get your impressions as to what Reliant got right and what they got wrong, after you've got it up and running again. And even in the state she is in, I think this is a cool little design.

[@TheFurriestOne]

Sounds like fun! Electric would have been interesting, especially since so much has changed since the lead-acid battery age! But I enjoy a good petrol engine build too! (even though I've yet to complete (or start building) one for either of my VW Bugs)

[@320ifq]

I think the main issue with the EV option is the lightweight nature of the fox would need substantial strengthening to deal with the extra weight. The London electricity board had a few sherpa vans converted to ev and they went quite well up to 50mph ....... See if there are any of those still around.

[@HubNut]

Rough reckoning had the battery pack at 300kg, which just so happens to be the payload of a Fox. Plus there would be no exhaust, engine, fuel tank or cooling system.

[@dodgydruid]

Driving wise, you will be pleasantly surprised as these cars being super super light have a lot of go in them and its not hard to get the 850cc engine to get close to the ton mark. The drive will feel like a 1960's sporty car, very much like a revvy Mini perhaps maybe a Triumph Herald or Vitesse for the 4 wheel feel. The steering shaft should be Triumph Herald fitting if you wanted an aftermarket steering wheel. You will note the lack of assisted servo braking so advised to leave a bit extra for braking but mine is all drums and stops on a sixpence if I need it to, steering will be very tight as you have a very short wheelbase cornering will be immense fun. Not really much tuning possible on the 850 engine, the most common mod is the inlet manifold polishing and opening out which allows for a smoother fuel transfer from the carb, I do believe Burton used to do road and race camshafts for the Reliant engine if you want stiffer performance, the SU carb is bulletproof but you can fit a 34ICH Weber from a Fiesta or Escort with no need to change jetting (can't remember which precise model it is) and will make for a very brisk engine with that on. If you really wanted some horses then a Ford Kent OHV will go into your more generous engine bay with some fettling and an adapter plate for the clutch and gearbox but plenty of people done that with the 3 wheelers and 4 wheeled Reliants and of course that Rialto you saw on the hillclimb that weekend has an insane engine setup in there and a Rover V8 can be made to fit if that took your fancy hehehe

[@GreyTheFloydianSergal]

funnily enough, my name is actually Callum so it's odd having a storm named after me. I think the fox would be an awesome little project, regardless of how it's powered

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

I'll pass on a tip that someone gave me for cleaning a car that has been stationary for a while and has a touch of mould on it, wash it with clothes washing powder. I thought that they were taking the mici, but they weren't. The non-bio sort doesn't work though, and wear gloves unless you like having very itchy hands.

[@spooforbrains]

Also wear a mask. I got a nasty infection from breathing in mould while cleaning out a mouldy car.

[@CauliflowerMcPugg]

Oh well, petrol it is then. Onwards and upwards! Tinker away!

[@borderlands6606]

Nice " Mosses and Lichens of Great Britain" in the window box of the Fox.

[@HubNut]

It's literally green motoring. It's practically carbon neutral already.

[@lancpudn]

Oh! hard luck on not winning the funding, Still looking forward to you getting stuck into the fox project. That storm Callum ain't half blowing here too, my wheelie bins have shot past the window at a rate of knots.

[@waltertaljaard1488]

Not many other options left then. Maybe what I suggested before; an electric engine set up from a milk/grocery light delivery van, or a forklift truck. But they are desperately slow, especially in the Welsh hills, with a very limited range and require a huge, backbreaking heavy battery, with an eight hr. minimal recharging time.

[@HubNut]

Exactly. I want to drive it in a practical manner. Petrol it is.

[@MapleMarmite]

Shame about the funding but I am keen to see how an originally powered Fox will be as the Hub Nut company van. An electric TWC does seem the better option, somehow. Kind of a dodgem car/golf cart hybrid comes to mind visually... TWC the Involtcar!

[@dazt103]

Oh well not to worry. In some ways it could be for the best. The more I look into a conversion of my car, the harder it looks (for me at least) Anyway, I'm sure we are all looking forward to see how you get the Fox running. ☺ Have you given her a name yet?

[@HubNut]

No name yet. I reckon one might appear once she's up and running.

[@jameswarden9136]

Please can we have an update on the perodua! Iove that car :)

[@HubNut]

I will try to get one done soon. I'd like to do a full Head to Head with the Matiz.

[@EngineeringVignettes]

Go with a low-tech (early tech) solution on the EV conversion? The first conversion article I read was from a Mother Earth Magazine in the early 80's... when the magazine actually had credability. Guy used a jet engine starter as the main drive. Whack a load of lead-acid batteries in the back and get a controller for the type of electric motor chosen. There you go! (I kid, not that easy... but the solution does not have to be the latest tech if it is reasonable to sacrifice some of the driving range) Cheers, - Eddy

[@HARRYBURNLEY1998]

Get the engine in and get her on the road im so excited

[@post2memrg]

Blimey never mind but keep on truckin

[@alexthomsonuk]

I've heard of an electric rabbit, not an electric fox :P

[@jezmun]

Put a positive spin on it - it'll have an electric starter motor! Almost a Leaf.

[@DaveCurran]

Would you consider crowd funding the electric Fox project? would their be enough people interested to put up enough cash for batteries / motor / controller etc.

[@HubNut]

I've rather cooled on the idea. Am considering other fleet members to electrify...

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

For a low cost electric conversion project I suggest that you buy an old fork lift truck. You can use the mast to make a car-lift in your garage, drive the car's gearbox with the electric motor, and use the batteries and charger too. The wheels could be used with a plank of wood to make a trolley for rolling under cars with, and then weigh in the remaining parts for scrap. Film it all, edit it to 30, 45, or 60 minutes and sell it to Channel 5 and you'll probably be in profit at the end of it all.

[@Robutube1]

Such a simple plan - what could possibly go wrong? ;-)

[@mfbfreak]

Yes... but no. Not worth the effort while you can get decent batteries and traction electronics for a reasonable price. Forklift batteries weigh between 500 and 1500kg. They're lead-acid batteries, usually. You need the full battery voltage to drive the motor, so you can't just take part of the cells. If you somehow manage to reinforce your suspension and shoehorn all the cells into the car, you end up with a electric car with the specs of a 1970s E-car. Charging takes a full day, range several dozen km at best.

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

Though by stripping down an FLT he could have a car-lift in his garage, which is a bonus you don't get with other options. The solution for the batteries is to fit a tow-hitch and put the batteries in a trailer, maybe even put a generator in the trailer too and you can go far and wide. Remember that this is HubNut World and that all sensible options will be ignored if at all possible.

[@mfbfreak]

I mean, you could.... But if we're going for a weird solution, i would kind of be tempted to scale it up, find a super low-revving marine diesel with exposed rocker arms and put everything in the back of a small box truck. Essentially a diesel-electric submarine concept. Something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpiTo4uKYrKBgq8 Would sound super funny. Electric motor can be oversized, to be able to at the same time use the generated power and battery power when climbing a hill or something. Or, for low speed/inclination, run only on battery power.

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

How will that help Ian to get a car-lift in his garage though? Have you seen his fleet? A car-lift is a necessity for him really.

[@chrispenn715]

That's a bummer - pity you can't make a rain powered car.....

[@matthewgodwin3050]

Commiserations on the electric Fox project, that adventure to Greece would have been epic. However, the petrol head in me is relieved that it will be sticking to good old internal combustion. Until the infrastructure for Hydrogen Fuel Cells is in place, it's the only sensible way to power a vehicle that covers long distances.

[@klwthe3rd]

Motorvision should reconsider the electric fox. I voted for you in hopes they would see the light. Lol

[@alexstewart2534]

Opinions on the Citroen c3

[@HubNut]

I wouldn't.

[@redditchscroller7049]

That has got to be a good candidate for a micro camper conversion and then a European test drive.

[@HubNut]

I fancy one of those things. It isn't the camper conversion...

[@redditchscroller7049]

I have seen cars like Fiat pandas converted to basic campers so it should be possible.

[@HubNut]

There are Fox campers. I'm no longer a huge fan of sleeping in vehicles though. Not sure it's actually more cost effective than a B&B.

[@julianparker6090]

Never mind, it was a good idea but as you said, the Fox will live on all be it with a petrol engine. I wonder if the handling on the Fox will be similar to that of the Kitten, Is the wheelbase similar to the Kitten estate? I've heard that using talc or cornflower will help in fitting the windscreen. I like MegaWayneD's suggestion of using bass guitar strings. I'd wear a good stout pair of work gloves though, to avoid a visit to the local A&E !!

[@HubNut]

Same chassis as the Kitten near enough. Just some slight front suspension variations.

[@MrButtonpresser]

I'm OK with that. Happy either way.

[@kimkiriniki9433]

Tough luck that you were not given funding for this, contrary to most I reckon your Fox would have been an ideal candidate for conversion to electric drive.

[@bentullett6068]

I would agree building a electric reliant fox might have been a bit complex. Back to old tech now for the fox

[@paulbennell3313]

Ah well, you gave it a go. I'm still mad interested to see how the Fox turns out. By rights you'd think iit should be great to drive with that enthusiastic little engine punching well above its weight and the snickety-snick Reliant gearbox pulling hardly any weight!

[@Mfhblueberry]

Perhaps you can try an LPG conversion? It'd be even cheaper to run than the 2cv then. : )

[@HubNut]

Not enough LPG outlets in these parts. Should easily trump the 2CV's economy anyway. Because Elly gets a hard life, she only averages 45mpg. Expecting over 50 from the Fox.

[@cibie01]

Ever looked in to a LPG conversion Ian?.

[@HubNut]

Yeah, bit like EVs - not enough infrastructure in Wales...

[@cibie01]

Oh yes of coarse i was not taking in to account you being remote out there. what ever the power plant its going to be a treat to see her back on the road good luck.

[@mortallious1234]

I hope you do find out what a Reliant Fox is like to drive. Hopefully better than my old BL metro.

[@lonniethompson6909]

What about putting a Mitsubishi or Diahatsu or Daiwoo 1.0L 3 cylinder Turbo Diesel in the Fox? Should have enough power and might get like 70 + mpg. Just a thought. Love all your videos of all the different and sometimes quite rare and unusual vehicles.

[@HubNut]

It should top 50mpg pretty easily as it is. I'm eager to find out.

[@tommyhanlon8012]

Huraayyyeeeee ! ....... The Fox is going to be kept standard !!!! :~) ....... i was thinking, what kind of a N-U-T, would take a very very rare model vehicle, made by a small manufacturer that sadly no longer exists, & not restore & preserve such a piece of motoring history ?

[@darrenwilliams3224]

it would be great to see you do an electric conversion but the fox,s must be getting thin on the ground now. Perhaps a BMW electric conversion may be the way to go. Look forward to your fox rebuild with a petrol engine im sure it will be epic.

[@jaggass]

Would you lo review my Toyota Corolla if you find yourself up north sometime?

[@HubNut]

I'd say so. Email [e-mail]

[@paulhickie9148]

Cool 😎.

[@irnbruo3]

As a rough guess what do you think it would cost to convert mr fox to battery power ??

[@HubNut]

The quote I was working with was £17,000 for all new parts and used Tesla batteries.

[@irnbruo3]

Wow ok 👍 stick with petrol engine 😵

[@HubNut]

Will do! That's why seeking funding was really the only option. Can't afford that!

[@redsorgum]

If you could have converted it to electronic, that would have been cool to see if it could handle a long road trip.

[@HubNut]

Not to be. Guess I'll be seeing if it can handle a long trip with a petrol engine...

[@amojak]

heh spot the LDV / marina interior door handles :D

[@MegaWayneD]

Hillman Imp bonnet hinges too! I'm sure the last generation Robin had Mk1 Vauxhall Corsa headlights.

[@amojak]

the headlights on that one look like bedford rascal vintage :)

[@MegaWayneD]

Yay for parts bin cars! SEATs used to be good for spotting stuff like that. My old SEAT Arosa had an Audi A3 dashboard.

[@amojak]

The LDV convoy is a classic parts bin van . Montego dash that fits badly, marina door handles, ford engine, Ancient king pin steering and suspension setup for that ~90 degrees of steering deadband etc.. :D

[@shaunontheinternet1452]

Used in the MGB also!

[@jaggass]

Even though the electric Fox car isn't happening id happily donate a bit of money towards a future project.

[@pikeywyatt]

you could always go steam.

[@HubNut]

Already been done. ;-)

[@stevejensen2751]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/emStmpWDiaqlgLs

[@bangerbangerbro]

Makes me think I should try get a fox instead of a kitten when I get older. Though I was thinking a scimitar would be better because I can't have everything at once.

[@martinpook5707]

Drives like a skateboard, my only complaint was the width of the gearbox gate, it is a long way across the box. Depends o the gearing but mine wasn't very fast, lively though.

[@HubNut]

Yes, I understand the rear axle ratio is pretty fussy on these.

[@gosportjamie]

I'm not sure that making an electric vehicle out of a plastic van that had a reputation for occasionally "interesting" electrical operation was the best idea, but it's a shame it won't happen. On the up-side, a Fox is rare enough to make an originally powered example an interesting project. I understand that Fox chassis generally seem to be a lot more rust resistant than those of their wheel-deficient brethren so hopefully that will be the case with this one...

[@mccheyne007]

Turn the fox into a mini camper diy project instead. would be entertaining seeing a hubnut style fit out camper style in the Reliant Fox. The full bhoona, cupboards, fold down bed, stove and awning. If not then good luck otherwise.

[@HubNut]

Too small! It is not a large vehicle.

[@mccheyne007]

Did you see the Steam Reliant fox here on KZbin. just type it in the search bar and you'll see it.

[@HubNut]

Yup. Amazing engineering. Nothing like me.

[@mccheyne007]

A bit like myself as well Ian. Maybe do a shout out video asking for suggestions from your viewers as to what to do with the Foxy Fox. or "Ann" as the number plate reads.

[@pagegreer700]

Oh well to infinity and beyond.Buz Light year. Pshoouu!🚙🚞🚐🚘🚗🚖🚐🚂🚉🚃🚆.On to New adventures. Like touks trans and leaks in Elly's 2Cv engine.

[@garbage854]

The Fox is still cool :)

[@station240]

I know exactly how you feel about the annoying wait for the results, you want to do something, but need to wait to see if you won something you need. I remember one contest I decided the one month wait wasn't worth it, when I could just buy the item for $50 and save myself waiting for no reason (I never win anything at all!). Too many contests are marketing exercises, rather than a genuine attempt to give something away to someone who needs it. Multi million dollar companies with pathetic prize pools, bah humbug.

[@HubNut]

These were genuine people at least.

[@station240]

At least you got paid for the cost of going there. It's never fun to indirectly spend money to enter, thinking it worth it if I win.

[@mondodaftasabrush]

I am pleased that it's going to get a replacement engine so it's going to be standard Hub nut likes standard and so do I but with all the carb problems you have why don't you try to source a lpg conversion kit or is that lpg supply not a local option. It's never really kicked off like it was supposed to but I think you can make it popular again and show the benefits of how clean it runs and the burning lpg doesn't make your oil go black We used to build basic lpg carbs on single cylinder engines to power a wind turbine to create electric charge for 110v supply for traffic light sets and designed to run 24/7 for at least two weeks on two gas bottles.. Was a fantastic job till battery packs and led lamps got approval Just a thought? Maybe you could do Hubnut bin bags. Merch .. Just for show not to be used

[@HubNut]

Local supply is an issue. It should do well over 50mpg anyway.

[@nicklowe536]

Electric super 7 would be cool. Maybe colaberation with Rich Rebuilds

[@robinwells8879]

Sad news indeed. We need to find Hubnut a scrap forklift to be the donor vehicle. Anyone out there?

[@HubNut]

Wouldn't be sufficient. My aim with the Fox from the start was to have a fully usable car, easily able to cover distance. That's why the electricification was looking so pricey - enough batteries for decent range.

[@willdatsun]

i had no idea you were wanting to build an EV, i have 4 factory EVs here of various ages but want to convert something, probably a Datsun! Looking at the prices of new controllers etc it will be probably a Leaf based conversion.

[@HubNut]

N12 Cherry Leaf hybrid would be fun. Apparently a few people are starting to pack LEAF mechanicals into older vehicles.

[@amojak]

My forte is electronic design, I use leccy car batteries to run the systems on my workshop van too. So if you need and techy input that doesn't involve driving up too often then just ask :D . LiFePo4 runs everything i have, even my Chevanne :D

[@HubNut]

My biggest problem is my attention span. I manage about five minutes of research before my brain just gives up. I'm also utterly, utterly hopeless with numbers.

[@SteveBrookfieldmusic]

That is a shame :( I was quite optimistic you would of got the funding. onwards and upwards as they say :)

[@welshman64]

Why not make it into a camper van.Brilliant videos keep them up 🚗

[@HubNut]

Bit small...

[@buggs9950]

Fit a sunroof, sleep vertically.

[@neilmason298]

TWC needs to be electric...great for smallish journeys ;) win win

[@HubNut]

I'm not against this idea at all. At least I'd be free of the sodding belt drive!

[@neilmason298]

TWC wouldnt need too many bateries either..

[@Mercmad]

I guess you got turned down when you mentioned the long extention lead? (foxes do stink normally) So...heres an idea, keep an eye open for a wrecked Prius and do an engine swap into the fox. If you make a mistake hooking it up,you can call it a Frius.... I 'll get my coat.
