Apparently cars like this Fiesta I'm in are obsolete, yet is a good size, has all the kit, will do 50+ mpg all day and you can have one like it for £235/month on a 0% two-year deal. Not the four years at £600/month you'll pay for the electric SUV you 'should' be running. Mental.

Not saying stereotypes exist for a reason but the 'roided up, tailgating RS6 driver reacting to me pulling over to let him pass in an angry launch controlled blaze of horn, flashing headlights and V8 thunder to then pull into McD's drive thru 200yds up road was totally on brand.

So, it's taken me about a year of stalling, delay tactics and general denial but the pin is pulled and the Forester is up for sale. Please, whoever buys it, promise you'll enjoy it as much as I have! DMs open if anyone's interested.

Latest from cycling frontline. Busy T-junction, me turning right out of it, BMW waiting to turn into it, queue of traffic behind him. We make eye contact, he waves me out, I give him a cheery thumbs up and ... we get on with our days. Sorry, that doesn't fit narrative, does it.

No great revelation but, golly, EVs really don’t like this weather, do they. 152 miles to destination, my 204 miles at 90% dropped to 170 miles soon as I set off and heating on max lopped another 30 miles off that. OK tho, time enough for a coffee and a few kWh ... oh.
