Found the Battlebus, started it (just), dragged it home, and filled up the electricity bottle.
Never knew they did a Zaffy Hybrid. Next it'll have a Mr Fusion fitted!

Drove it to a fancy hotel and test drove the Tesla Model S P90D with Ludicrous mode. Then drove home in a very sedate-feeling BMW.

Very expensive milk-float, paid for by the owner making millions by avoiding tax in various country's, then investing in, large scale battery production, that decimates, natural resources, then there's the green house gases produced, by the generation of the electricity to charge them up.
 and my ol V6 runs on petrol, an organic product produced by old rotting,dinosaurs and composted trees. :y

Most of the Tesla charging points are solar powered, but don't let that get in the way of a good rant ;D

Prepped two new wishbones ready to fit tomorrow along with new drop links and track rods...

Will be followed by four new tyres and set up.

New wishbones are Febi ones... not continuously welded as pics implied, but as below...



Whether they would be more or less suitable for polybushing, I wouldn't like to say, but fitted bushes seem of reasonable quality... so have left in place.

Fitted new wishbones, track rods and drop links. Then took it to be set up and have four tyres fitted.

Apparently HiFly are Blackcircles budget tyre of the week ::) Then paid £59 for them to remove ten minutes of toe on one side >:( on which basis, I simply cannot recommend Broadbridge Heath Garage for wheel alignment  :-X

Washed it, took some pics and popped it up for sale ::)
