My main worry about electric cars is that they are too quiet and I'll probably get myself run over when out training!

I actually praised a Prius owner the other day, as he was driving it like he stole it, flat out, overtaking any time he could, and I thought, fair play, I do hope some greenie lentilist see's you doing that and has a heart attack

[davefowler1987]

Probably - "borrowed" my fathers for a while

You could try looking before you cross the road.

Bonkers idea, I know, you never know though - it might just work.

my main worry about electric cars (well the Prius anyway) is that people have been sold a dummy.......they are retarded and generally the same as God Botherers......they believe something blindly without understanding the science.

Someone came up with a good argument for the Prius the other day on another thread -

which basically consisted of would other, much better more powerful ,fast and with better economy cars ever be designed of Toyota hadn't blinked first and built that ridiculous, uneconomical bad handling shed.

its just a new religion, and a tax on the stupid

all in my opinion of course

The OH's father has one. I think that he likes the gadget value and the lower fuel bills. Aside from tha, it's his money.

Auto park is hilarious though, I wish I had it, I'd probably use it ooooh twice before never turning it on again.

Bonkers, pure bonkers, but I'll look into it....

Those things are the work of the devil, you know...

[macp]

Those things are just too quiet they have caught me out once or twice even after looking.Topgear have done a couple of stories on them ripping them to bits for economy and the cost to build them.

Was passed by a Pious on the French autoroute doing 120 English leptons, actually quite a good effort I thought for a Frenchie

Does anyone else take great pleasure in overtaking Prius's at full throttle whenever they come across them?

Or dropping down a gear and booting the throttle. In my V6 tank, I undo their last six months of planet-saving, in about four seconds... Yes, I'm an overgrown schoolchild.

It's : Pious (I'm sure I'm right)

Reminds me when my mate a I went out for an early morning blast in the Westy a few weeks ago and stumbled across a prickarse prius owner getting into the heap of shyte.

I honestly couldn't help it, it was just a natural reaction . When I drove past I dropped it down a gear, gave it a rev and my foot hit the floor letting out a load bark from the exhaust as we shot off into the distance laughing our heads off.
