    The S did require the key but the button was a great feeling made it feel more like a bike with an electric starter, I guess most people will love all the modern stuff but some of it is really just gimmicks which don't really improve function.

    Ceres bus drivers have a bad rep for the way they drive, other drivers keep out of their way. I had a lucky escape 4 years ago, I was going to make a left turn into a side road I indicated to turn left and was about to make the turn i doubled checked, lucky I did a Ceres bus over took me on left, almost collided with my car, blasting my horn at the driver. I was fuming.

    Harley?

    We want one. When we trade up next we just have to get one. Only problem is with Mrs Ash being short she finds the SUVs a challenge. :lol:

    I cannot see any argument against buying these cars except cost. Brilliant to drive.

    I watched the TT races in the IOM a couple of years ago - zero emmision races. Fascinating. It was 2016 actually. Not popular with the petrol heads though.

    “A moment of blasphemy…..”

    This is old stuff now but the narration by Ewan Magregor is spot on for the time….

    This has turned out to be a nice car. Had it for a year now. A bit small for me but perfect for Mrs Ash.
