Is that green/cream car a Trabant? I don't recognise it as one, but I can't think what else it could be!

I'd say that's a reasonable guess even if it's wrong. 

Autobianchi

No wonder he crashed it if you were bare-arsed boxing behind him!

Just remembered this terrible drive-by shot, I'm sure the Midi has been deliberately boxed in. I've been past another time and it was the same situation; I'll have to return.

Down in Somerset visiting family. Spotted these 3 whilst nipping down the hill to collect mother's prescription.

Cracking car show in Greetham, Rutland, tonight. A shite-friendly gig. 
 

Wish I'd realised, that's just up the road from me.

I think there’s a few shiters round here. I can never remember who. The guy with the Range Rover. And @Dobloseven is sort-of local. It’s the second Thursday or Friday or summat. I’ll take the Elise next time. Say hello! 👍🏻

Not my usual thing but this was tidy

Nice Binstead Volvo sticker in the window, I think the Volvo dealer closed in 1996 on the Island. Recently been taken on again by the VW/Mercedes dealer

Can't be many 14 year old Fluences left these days. Do you think they are still paying the battery lease?

35,000 miles, about 60 miles/week.

Does that usage justify the economics of going EV 13 years ago or did that take extreme man-maths?

Especially as I assume the battery lease price would be fixed not mileage based.

They were in mileage bands I think (as were the early Zoes), with the lowest being £49/month then rising by £10 each time a boundary was crossed. I can’t remember what the bands were though. 
 

Edit; turns out the Fluence battery lease was much more expensive:

On the same topic, electric Twingo for @Kiltox

And a crusty Xsara, not the finest point of Citroën’s history IMHO.
