Mick could have made your first rejoin post on that day about your KR200 bang on topic for the 2-stroke thread, but maybe you thought at the time the FCF was a forum on French Cars :-D

We already know that the Audi E-tron is the best selling electric vehicle in Norway, but they are fairly littering Northumberland at the moment. I think they are at their most irritating when they are in black, and occupying the charger I want to be on :-D as happened this morning!

Looks like there are enough people swimming in cash/or debt for Audi to have no problem with demand.

Probably a good job DFDS stopped the Norway to Newcastle ferry, which I used for my trip in 2003, or you would be overun by E-Trons by now! :-D

I'll have look up the programme, it was about electric cars and the charging infrastructure but as I was doing my usual channel hopping I can't remember which channel. :?

These days cars can be supplied from anywhere....Bury St Edmunds Audi on the reg plate, along with www.marriotmotorsgroup.co.uk. Be surprised if it actually was someone from Bury St Edmunds :-D
AV regional Identifier is "Anglia" regional office Ipswich which fits.
