boxofbits Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Hi guys Everytime you tax your car now, a little text message asks you to make your next vehicle electric. Having looked around this is my choice. Why? Well I’ve got 4 good reasons. 1 It’s quite cheap! 2 It’s a Classic! 3 It’ll definitely make sure I’m up and about Early in the Morning! 4 IF the wife was to say ‘you couldn’t pop down to the shop to get some milk could you?’…I’d be more than happy to oblige Is buying one of these a reality? Hmmm, I’ve always wanted to drive one tbh…I wonder what the charge mileage is? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144670721693?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180105095853%26meid%3D934e11721ded401db11bac8a0a355b1e%26pid%3D100903%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D20%26sd%3D155102704798%26itm%3D144670721693%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2510209&_trksid=p2510209.c100903.m5276 Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillp Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Could you manage the "stop in the middle of the road" manoeuvre that seemed to be mandatory for these things? Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Yep I remember that. The Mary Celeste abandoned in the road! Or do you mean ‘jump out’ in the middle of the road Pete, ‘cos you can’t stop! . It’s got no doors either so makes that decision an easy one! Very witty answers.. Kevin Edited August 9, 2022 by boxofbits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 It looks the part - but does it deliver? Would you have the bottle to buy one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris1966 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 If you got the outfit too, you could have some fun apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boxofbits Posted August 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I did think about becoming a milkman once - but didn’t think I would Ernie-nuff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuzanneH Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 If any of you remember 88V8 on this forum a few years ago (lvor), he used to own a Milk Float and drive to work from Shepperton to The City in it every day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea too. If I had more space I’d seriously consider buying AND using it. It’s a 1968 Morris too, so probably made at Morris Commercial in Adderley Park, Birmingham. It is a bit of an old crate though tbh. Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
