Or else it's an Audi. Also black. Also aggressively driven. By someone sitting in what appears to be a deck-chair.

Naturally, it's all part of the uniform... They have to be able to readily identify each other so they can wave their fists and snarl at each other when they meet...

A new battery every 4 years ?GiveMeABreak wrote: 01 Feb 2018, 19:54 We got dropped off into town in one of their C-Zero all electric cars. Obviously very quiet, so one really needs the stereo blasting out with the windows down to let people know your coming. I asked the chap driving it what he thought of it and he wasn't that keen on it - needs a new battery every 4 years and that can be in the region of £4000 - so I guess you have to equate that with the cost of running a petrol / diesel vehicle.
He said they have to leave it on charge overnight - every night, and that they only use it for local trips.
So no good for us country folk.
