I reckon that will be a massive market.

I'd have one of these https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/electric-holden-torana-e-a9x then convert it back to a big block

I think we've mentioned Rufford Ford in the UK previously, where people go to drown expensive cars ??? >:D

Just watching the latest episode & spotted this bit:

https://youtu.be/lUYfTrXHK4U?t=40

That somewhat amazed me, as I thought water & electricity didn't mix ???

He did it well, though :cup:

Caravan (admittedly concept only) with 80kWh battery and self powered wheels!!!

Hmmm any ideas on how this affects GCM? Could end up with a 4000kg van pretty quickly

https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/airstream-estream-trailer-concept-lithium-ion-battery-driven-axles/

But at least 80kWh is a LOT of cold beers  :cheers:

Getting there if half the fun

The other half is a cold beer when you do.

Waiting for the day when futuristic self/auto/whatever drive systems are hacked.

The ensuing turmoil is sure to be a hoot.....as long as I'm not near it....

It’s going push the cost of caravans and trailers up to new highs.

Could be good for off-tarmac mobility though.

doesn't matter how good the automated systems are, you should still drive - https://www.9news.com.au/world/tesla-on-autopilot-crashes-into-us-deputy-patrol-car-near-miss/59d22ebf-8f3c-4d60-b6ab-92a48b34baeb
The Tesla's driver was Devainder Goli, a Raleigh doctor, who was watching a movie on his mobile phone while the car drove itself, according to officials.

The futures so bright... I gotta wear shades.
