Similar to my video from out meet up, here's Lee's side of things... There's more detailed chat about Quentin Wilson's radio interview in this version of the footage. This is the final 20 minutes of Lee's video, but as his video was about three weeks long, he said I could upload just this section for people that don't want to watch his super long video...! Enjoy!

And making all the grown-ups who would appreciate sensible, reasoned, discussions about the pros&cons of EVs vs ICEVs, and what realistic, practical approaches there could be to moving to an increased use of the former, shake their heads in dismay about the way they encourage all the sad-sack SFB swivel-eyed consipiracy fantasy nutcases. He's thrown his lot in with the people who deny all the science proving anthropogenic climate change even though they have not a scrap of expertise in any relevant science. He's thrown his lot in with the people who lie about fire risks when there's not a shred of evidence to support them.

The EU has legislated to fit 70mph speed limiters to all new cars now , so what do you do if you need to get out of trouble on a motorway and increase your speed slightly to do it? Technology is interfearing to much with new cars, we already have lane guidance which pulls the steering to one side when your trying to exit a road onto a slip road it tries to keep you from entering the slip road, very dangerous, I always turn mine off. Ive also heard that garages need a license to work on EVs can you look into this please Geoff? No license No repairs at Independant garages. Apparently there are only 50,000 mechanics qualified to repair Evs in the UK they are as rare as rocking horse poo, apparenty this is why the insurance companies are writing Evs off instead of repairing them, there is also a shortage of spare parts which slows the repair process after an accident to a painful long process taking months to turn the repairs around so they write them off, hence why insurance prices are increasing for all of us. If the insurance company has to provide a curteosy car for six months its becomes to expensive to honour the claim so the EV gets written off instead. Dont Buy an electric car it will become a hated thing compared to an ice car pretty quickly, if you get a sudden call for a family emergency miles away and the car isnt charged up you may end up regretting your decision because you couldnt be there when you needed to be. life will simply get in the way with an EV. its a case of sitting at a motorway services charging instead of being where you want to be a bit quicker. imagine getting a call to say a family member is about to pass away and you want to be there to say goodbye, or your baby is about to be born and you want to be there, or you have to be somewhere ergently like taking a sprog to hospital for medical attention but the car needs charging. you cant plan for a senerio like that. Im waiting for the news that someone couldnt save a life because it would have taken two hours for an ambulance to arrive and the Ev battery wasnt charged so a life was lost in the process. If you want to buy an Ev you really need to think outside the box of amazing 0 to 60 mph speeds and showing off to your mates with the what would you do in an emergency senerio, filling up an ice car takes all of 5mins to acomplish waiting to charge the battery 30 to 40 mins it could be the difference between life and death, and that is the main reason why I shall never buy one. Having a family even I have been in this situation several times in my life, when a doctor refuses to call at the house on an out of hours service and someone is loosing a lot of blood and an ambulance is two hours away, an accident in the garden digging up a fence post when I stuck a spade in my right calf again waiting for a non exsistant ambulance and no neighbours at home to assist me whilst I bled out all over the living room floor, I had to apply a Tornicay and drive to the hospital myself, I lost two pints of blood but my ice car and my quick actions saved my life. babys being born, children needing ergent medical care after falling on broken glass in the park while playing football, an ice car is the only solution to lifes challenges esspecially if you have a family you care about. The chances are it will always be ready to drive. Id hate to not be there for them all in their time of need because of a flat battery, I couldnt be that selfish and I would regret it for the rest of my days.

folks are waking up though, look at the second-hand car prices! especially the prices of cars that are TAX exempt, MOT exempt and ULEZ exempt and qualify for classic insurance i.e 1982 or older, and all of these cars can be repaired on the driveway with standard box of tools. not only that but making petrol and diesel at home is also very, very easy and super cheap, no mechanic required, no petrol pumps required, no specialist tools required, no computer required. join the revolution!

This is from car dealers live / Autotrader Faiers also explained the opportunity that used EVs represent to dealers during the session. She admitted that many had had their fingers burned by the huge price drops electric cars suffered last year, but said as EVs reached ‘price parity’ with petrol and diesel equivalents, consumers were increasingly keen to buy. ‘I totally understand and see the reticence to dive back into a market that’s just proved incredibly challenging and difficult for people,’ she said. ‘But in the used market, electric vehicle transactions are up 80% year on year. They have consistently been some of the best performing stock on our platform for the last six months or so.

transactions are up because there are so many more now on sale and prices have plumeted, which is a symptom of high supply and low demand, and the oppisite of a healthy market.... in short, everyone wants to sell and few want to buy! This is great for Autotrader,,, not great for an industry destined to fail from the start !

What a nice VOLVO... ❤ Recently bought a side-car.. a small Smart 451. Use it for the dog to go to the forest. Sooo cheap driving and cheap to buy. It's from 2008, but still has aircon / rainsensors / el. windows. and I can change my shoes sitting on the open back-door. Cheap and small... Now that is more the future. 😂

You wrong about the plug in hybrids, it's the plug in bit that makes them more efficient, also plug in hybrid too "self charges" only it doesn't use engine to do that since its not as efficient. By the way I can do all the run around on electric power so sort of helping to keep air kleen around the town, but then when I need to go somewhere on long trip I don't need to worry about the chargers 🤷‍♂️

16:42 £1450 for a set of tyres. This illustrates the madness that people are sucked into. I'm 59 years old and I own a 2013 Peugeot 107. I'm going to put a set of summer tyres on it this month and some decent Yokahamas will cost me £280 for 4. I don't buy budget tyres but if I wanted them a set of 4 would be £200. Ok my car doesn't do 0-60 at the speed of light or cruise in silence but my little car will get me to where that Porsche's going and I guarantee it won't take me any longer given speed limits, traffic lights and congestion. And my car's fun to drive. It feels like a little dodgem. I'm not saying a 107/C1/Aygo is for everyone but I just don't understand why anyone would even consider buying a rich man's trinket like that Porsche.
I'm visiting England for 6 months... Can you BUY ME A CAR?
