That Prius/Pious/Leaf thing only has a 24 KW battery.

It won't go very far with that.

Yes, but.....................well , you know. 


24v straight 6, or oversized PP3. 

You're too old to be crawling around under the royale, and that's what would happen. At least if you had to do any jobs on the leaf, your missus could post a picture of your smoking shoes on the driveway to give us all a laugh 

Awkward

New pair of headlight bulb in the little roller skate, also topped up fluids - they do tend to use a bit of oil.
It has a major issue now though. The electric PAS motor has become very noisy, and replacing it involves removing the whole dash before even starting to remove it, which also means removing the steering column, as the motor and column need to be kept as one unit.
So, do I bother ?
Or do I call it a day and replace it with something like this.

I get free charging at work, so economically, it makes sense. 

My heart would rather buy this though.

The Leaf is the obvious choice, especially as you can charge it up at work.

The *irritating noise* that my windscreen wipers made was getting on my nerves so I bought new wipers. I haven't fitted them yet as since I bought new wipers the old one's have been silent.

I have short temper issues and many years ago, the windscreen wipers were grating across the windscreen of one of my mini's when it was pissing down with rain. The continuous irritating noise was driving me mad ........ so I punched the screen in anger ...... and smashed the windscreen.    So, not only was I angry,  I was wet as well. My Mrs was not impressed.    So, when the Audi wipers started screeching across the screen, she said "Let's go to Halfords NOW! 

Tell your missus she needn't worry. Windscreens are much tougher than they used to be, you are a lot older than you used to be, so you'd probably just smash your knuckles up a bit.........and cry like a baby 

Now you mention it, I am quite an emotional chap.

We fully expected an old Merc to pop up when we clicked the link! 

Problematic

Washed the ML. Probably the 3rd time since buying it... In August 

Apparently it's silver
