Russian Revolutionary Hybrid car

its anything a prius doesn't do obviously.

I know its hard to believe but drivel actually has a bit of this correct.. it doesn't matter how powerful the engine is as long as its more than the average for the journey. The power to accelerate doesn't come from the engine, it comes from the battery. You can accelerate as fast as the battery and electric motors allow. As long as you don't do it too often and flatten the battery, then you would find it hard going.

Eagerly awaited, Dennis joins in.......

4 miles. A Calcars battery extension can get 80. Thank you Dennis.

[Doctor Drivel]

You must read what I wrote. It is easier that way.

[Doctor Drivel]

Dennis, I have it all correct.

Thank you Dennis. A nearly astute observation from you there.

[Doctor Drivel]

I could have linked to the Moon, but you got there in the end. The Ruskies have not ripped off a USA design. The first attempt at this was in 1910. BSA, had a prototype in 1955.

Tell me where they are telling lies?

Oi, don't diss the mighty Lada. My mate had a Moskvich - in remarkable condition, it was, which was hardly surprising as it never went anywhere. He bought it for 90quid and sold it for 190. I was amazed at the number of eejits out there, as the phone rang for a week.

[grimly4]

YoYo. How gloriously appropriate, as it ventures out and is towed back, like a brick on a piece of elastic.

[grimly4]

Seems like a cunning device to part fools from their money. Not the first time some start-up bunch of chancers have trumpeted their vapourware on the 'net.

So you can commute for a whole two miles without chucking out the same sort of pollution that all the other cheaper cars do. To do so you chuck out more pollution from a power station elsewhere. Maybe you charge it overnight from solar panels?

[Doctor Drivel]

The Moskvich engines was a direct copy of a BMW engine with interchangeable parts. Great car! Very distinctive. Better than an Austin Lemonhundred.

[Doctor Drivel]

Knob, the Russian president was involved. Also I notice no one asking for "investment" money. And they have real cars and engines running. Thank you knob.

I think you crap in a toilet in the boot. to create methane...or am I getting mixed up..

[Doctor Drivel]

...and a bottle of rum

[Doctor Drivel]

Dennis, it says four above. But the Volt can do 60 miles.

< snip Dennis drivel >

After he was doing so well, snipping had to come.

[dennis]

Some idiot in Coventry had one of those, you could smell it about a mile before you caught up.

[Doctor Drivel]

"getting mixed up", implies that you were not at some stage. That is 100% wrong.

[Doctor Drivel]

Wow, known knobness in action. Amazing.

[Doctor Drivel]

Was it owned by the snotty uni lunatic? He poos in the boot.
