There was that large Bill Bentley place on the mezzanine above the check-in...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

I don't change my car every 3-5 years (neither does my wife), they (cars) are looked after, serviced regularly and will run for years to come. WHY therefore are more and more cars required?
