That’s when I’m predicting fuel prices will blow up and costs to run ICE go through the roof.

Thats if the mandated dates hold up.

Lots of ifs,buts and maybe's.

Those that can read the crystal ball will do well.

Fuel will still be needed by many ICE's where battery power wont suit,no matter how good the battery tech is,so i dont see it having a massive price increase,but anything is on the cards.

And back to the old issue,where is all the power going to come from,to charge these batteries?
Where is all the infastructure for all those hundreds of thousands of charging points that will be needed?
There is a lot to do in the next 9 yrs or so.

Interesting times.

Hang on,seems we are way off topic again...

Going OT is not such a bad thing IMHO Paul, as it can open up other avenues & views when the original start topic has been hammered to death.

I am sure Winston Churchill would have said likewise.

2021 has been fine except for lack of trips to Hua Hin and Chang Mai

Best thing about masks, hides the uglies out there!

Masks are not all that crash hot Mike.. Already kids are growing up supposedly not recognising their parents, Bank stickups are on the increase(don't know which banks are being stuck up 'cos you can't ever find a bank when you want one) & it is difficult trying to stick up an ATM.

The uglies might just turn out to be hot crumpet behind their masks & SE Asia will still be there to retire to after all this crap is done with, (he hopes.)


But I bet nobody will ever forget 2020/21

So, my 90 was scheduled for the 2/3/4th time for a late Nov build date,Early feb delivery.. just got advice that a locked in build date of the 24/12 is in, but a delivery date of 8/4/22.. Thats a full 12 months and a lot of bull**** by Landrover on delivery dates from order..the shine has come off this vehicle already, hope its worth it!

Go on, you'll love it all the same, like your first Girl Friend.

Feel really sorry for you on this... That must be so frustrating.

Goes a bit against the modern societies instant gratification scenario!

I think you'll find most car companies are the same at the moment.

Hope it goes well once it arrives.
