The lovely Norwegian tat for sale on this thread is encouraging. I read a quite sanctimonious news article on the BBC website yesterday which said that 90% of new cars on sale there were now electric. A few equally sanctimonious people were interviewed telling us how they loved the fact they were being 'green' and why would you drive a fossil fueled car.

Now, the BBC are not to be trusted at all so I wondered what your view was? I know your particular location would absolutely mean an electric vehicle was impractical.

I struggle with putting things in my head into text, so this can reflect that an also make no sense and have taken some time to write this.

I think that most of those who are not interested in cars choose electric, and choose it mostly for financial reasons and not for the environment. But of course some choose them for the environment as well.

My point of view on this. Is that electric cars are being forced on us and I don't think that's right, people must be able to choose what they want. As a person interested in cars, this is sad, Norway has never had many interesting cars with the exception of old cars and with this things are only gettting worse. The fact that the car fleet is getting more and more electric also leads to other problems, fewer and fewer young people get a driver's license for a manual gearbox and fewer and fewer young people are interested in cars and this is not helped when everyone around them has boring EVs.

Another big problem now is petrol, before electric cars diesel cars dominated so it's been a long time since petrol cars were sold in large numbers and there are only fewer and fewer of them, EVs have surpassed petrol cars now I think and this leads to little sales of petrol this together with ethanol on both types of petrol we have, leeds to petrol going bad at the fuel station. And also gets bad fast in the car. I've had cases on the daily that it starts to misfire and run poorly and it's the petrol, there's not a lot of talk about this in the media but a petrol station near me recently had to throw away a tank of petrol because it had gone bad and it wont surprise me if this is becoming more common.

So, as I see it, the future prospects are not good if things continue as they are now, petrol will be hard to come by a decade or two, diesel will last a little longer. And this together with falling interest in classic cars means that I believe many of these will be scrapped in the coming years as the fuel is hard to come by and few is interested in them.

For me, I don't know what I'm going to do in the future, I like to drive and a manual gearbox is a big part of that and how overweight EVs are will also ruin the joy of driving.

So when the Hyundai dies I have no idea what to replace it with. And driving classic cars all year with all the road salting we have I can just forget about.

That makes perfect sense, thank you. I agree that even in the UK, although EVs account for only about 20% of total car sales just now, I feel that they are being forced upon us. More by the media than anything else I guess. The same goes for cycling. I have nothing against either, indeed I would cycle to work if it made sense. It's more that I am feeling more and more vilified for being interested in cars .

I think my hobby will die with me, when the time comes.

I have that feeling too. I try not to think about what will happen to my Mercedes in the future, it is not just a car but is a rare survivor and a part of Norwegian history which several people including me have sacrificed a lot to keep alive. I like many others see cars like this as not something we own but something we are custodians of for future generations.

I hope that it will continue but I don't think it will.

It's been a bit negative here so back to cars. This is possibly Norway's longest a car has been for sale, I have known about it since 2010 and it has been off the road since 2008, which is when I think this dealer got it. It is overpriced, which has probably contributed to this.
