I asked our mechanic about those auctions a few years ago. He pissed himself laughing. Said youd need to really know your stuff and thered be a heap of sharks out there.

John Raymond Hanger  on X: “Good morning with good news: Sales of zero emission heavy duty vehicles skyrocket 120% in EU in 2023. 43% of city buses sold in the EU in 2023 were electric. 5% of light and medium trucks & 1% of heavy trucks were electric. EV buses & trucks coming! https://t.co/1DXZYbynDu https://t.co/LUxUobsqBT” / X (twitter.com)

Talk to me about this BYD crowd lads. They are Chinese I believe? Their vehicles appear reasonably priced but I know nothing about them aside from being peppered with Insta and Radio ads about them. Are they at all reliable or to be avoided?

I’ve been in an Atto. Decent car in fairness. Interior is a bit divisive but drives well and is good value. The byd seal looks a lovely car. Interior doesnt look as crazy as the atto. Good spec on it too. And great range as well.

As long as youre ok with being a proxy for a Chinese invasion and using their cars for spying purposes and data collection, its all good.

They have a car coming on the market next year in the 20-25k range.

Shop local. Go and see Pat Doyle. He’s got the MG franchise.

The seagull, or dolphin mini, but looking to be under 20k from initial reports. North of 400km range too so not just a small city runaround

It’s absolutely mental. Flood Europe with cheap cars that can all be disabled at the flick of a switch once the invasion begins.

No different to what OPEC could do with oil really.

I don’t think electric plastic cars are going to be crucial in WW3

A colleague at work has a MG and she loves it. I would have presumed it would have been a bit of a shit car tbh, but she’s very happy with it.

Then again, you get people happy driving Dacias :man_shrugging:
