Or switch to the square box with seats and a heater mode of transport when its cold that most of us use all year round.

[OriginalGriff]

And clog the roads up even more? :laugh:

Well, I guess you could get a Peel 50[^] :laugh:

[OriginalGriff]

I think I'd rather use a C5 - at least you could back that up... :laugh:

Ehhm, you mean this car[^]? French cars are not exactly a favorite of mine, but they can't be Peel bad can they, or?

[OriginalGriff]

Regretably not: C5[^]

or for that open air feel with the stability of four wheels what about The P45[^]

[Kenneth Haugland]

Hah, much the same as my link to the French car :laugh: Or more like an ariel atom without the speed I assume :laugh:

[OriginalGriff]

Without the speed, protection from accidents, range, style, anything really.... :laugh:

He, he. This morning was raining even here and I cowardly wisely chose the car.

Veni, vidi, vici.

[Kenneth Haugland]

No, the dragons didn't like that one ;)

Sinclair claimed it remained "the best selling electric vehicle" as recently as 2010

Don't know what to say to this except, really? :laugh:

[Corporal Agarn]

I do not think I would have been able to recover. If I did I too would have went slow through the curve. I need to ride more. But not at -4F.

[OriginalGriff]

Well, at least you didn't have to pay a monthly rental for the batteries?

Wimp! :laugh: http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lykxiz97AV1qli934o1_500.jpg[^] And http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lykwaioSNN1qli934o1_500.jpg[^] (neither of those are me, but I've ridden in worse - heated gloves or grips are a goooood investment)

Ha, If I'm in a Nissan Leaf I can't follow, literally :laugh:

[OriginalGriff]

...and you're not going to be in the lead for long either! :laugh: I dread the day someone decides to hook a caravan to the back of one... :sigh:
