What exciting automotive exotica are you driving?

What has that got to do anything I recently posted?

And if you really wanted to know then a simple search would reveal the answer.

So why waste your and other's time by posting stupid comments?

In Bob's words I'm out!

Cheers, all stunners. First thing that comes to my mind as an 80’s icon is the DeLorean Time Machine!

Of course it’s not the car I’d choose to drive if I could. That would have to be a Testarossa. The F40 never grabbed me the same way, I have never liked the rear end and wing, even though in every way it’s a better car it’s not as visually pleasing to me.

I have never driven a DeLorean but wasn't their lack of real performance part of their demise. All looks and no oomph.

Engines were terrible, build quality was terrible, handling was… you get the picture.

Beyond awful to drive. Terrible build quality. Brutalist future styling. And that film. Couldn't be more 80's

I know someone with two.

The guy that used to run the legends of racing days at Knockhill had one. Absolute bucket.

By all accounts DeLorean’s are absolutely terrible cars. Weigh and absolute ton and have zero performance. That said if money was no object it’d be one of the first in my garage just because!

I'd buy a Tesla model y extended range

Their supercharger network is outstanding and I could justify the insurance then lol

You are winning as well? Okay, I don't mind sharing £110m, there is enough spare.

Yes....an original Audi Quattro or Lancia Delta Integrale.
Style, class and attitude no EV can ever dream of

Trickle charge, not to 100%, and don’t live in a hot country

But some interesting engineering/chemistry of what happens in battery degradation.

Took the wife out for lunch in the new car yesterday. Bored her with all the new features.

Today was the first test as a family out to swimming and cinema.

Got a slimline seat for the middle. It's fiddly to get the seatbelts on but yes 3 kids across the back ..

I now can either keep juggernaut until it dies off or I can look to replace with another electric hatchback in a couple years.

Amazing how much room car seats take up. Once their out of them it will be so much space.

It's an absolute game changer. It suddenly brings lots more cars into play.

100%, I mean Kia have the EV 9 which is huge but 70 grand lol

Being able to get into a normal estate size or hatchback will be great

Maybe another older niro .. the e niro 3 years old is pretty reasonable priced with 4 year warranty remaining

But then juggernaut is semi retired .. maybe when the kids have more clubs a Zoe will be a good fit

For kids seats you have to keep in mind that if you are travelling into the EU they have longer requirements. 150cm instead of 135cm child night is the one we know. Not sure about age, here it is 12.

So in Ireland or France and beyond you might need more kids seats than here.

Luckily we can fit that booster in so she covered regardless

Ridiculous law in the UK that it's 135cm 12 or none of they don't fit lol
