so called said:
Back in around 1998 I was looking for a new car for my 'commute' to work.
In the end I bought a TVR Tasmin but had considered an old Rolls Royce and was going to re-badge it BMW as a joke for my colleagues in the German Office where I was working.
Decided that the 750 miles to work @ 10mpg was not a good idea.
But the TVR Tasmin was the right tool for the job? I like your thinking but I'm not sure I could replicate your workings...
If I had to guess, I'd suggest yer man "so called" didn't work Monday-Friday in Germany, but felt it would have been a wizard wheeze to go on a business trip over there in a BMW-badged Rolls Royce every now and again.

Just hypothesising, you understand.

To power a petrol generator “range extender” hehe
That's pretty cool - an electric car would be a good choice in event of apocalypse as you can generate electricity through so many different means. It's also very quiet, so easier to be subtle.

Why have a fake 550 when you could have a CGT
