My mate has just ordered one. I will update on it when he has had it a few weeks.

I have an interesting dilemma.

I'm one of those annoying people who has a caravan!

Obviously, a diesel is best for towing so I have a 1.8D Volvo XC60.

With the cut off date only 6 years away for new petrol/hybrid cars I have a feeling that second hand prices will be a lot higher than they have been.

I will be looking at a Toyota RAV4 AWD as these are capable of towing my van. But when do I bite the bullet?

Do I jump before the next election or wait and see if labour, as most of us suspect they will, p!ss everyone off and get stuffed at the ballot box allowing another 5 years grace.

I'm leaning towards waiting as I may be too old to go caravanning around that time anyway. Or I may even have snuffed it by then!

I have just bought this new Ford Puma and it is electric. The acceleration is rocket-like and the handling is fantastic.
Re-charging isn't a problem as it carries no batteries, ..so the power to weight ratio is fantastic.
The downside is it has no luggage space and if i want to drive anywhere, i have to lay this metal tracking in front of the car first.

I disengage, I turn the page.
