Haha, thats guna get us waay off topic mate,maybe start a new thread on it if ya want , If you are genuinely interested in my opinion, shoot me a pm, honestly its a fascinating subject. As I mentioned above, maybe prove to yourself if there could be a designer by studying the smallest form of life and go from there.

One thing I've been thinking about, Does anyone else think it's weird that there has not been lots of mule sightings by the general public.
We had a mention of someone spotting one out West in Australia but that's all I've heard so far.

Maybe some of the mule pictures are from the public and I believe most of them have been purposely leaked by Land Rover to control the photos

Wood smoke isn't full of toxins and carcinogens and you don't suck wood smoke deep into your lungs and then breathe it out.

Nice one thanks, so looks like it can work with Hybrid and either the electric motor becomes a generator or another pancake generator between engine/gearbox for example.
I can't see many negatives with hybrid/regen as long as its reliable, 80% or so of my trips would be shortish, most likely well bellow hybrid range.

My brother has a normal 2013 diesel Mazda 6 - is not a hybrid and it has regenerative deceleration function.
