Just came to me this morning, his name was Ian, and he was known locally as Ian Roll. He passed a few years ago. May not be your uncle, but this bloke was well known round there, so if you still have relatives in Achiltibuie, they'll know of him.
Got this to run my charge cable over slabs at side of house so no one trips, like bin men etc.
It's about a metre long and is very heavy. Not for cars to use, just pedestrians etc.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...89e5a94ada.jpg
Car has been going well and I'm getting used to the regen braking, and now using level 3. It comes close to stopping car by itself if you want it to.
Plugged in today and now charging. Was it at 70% still but thought I'd top it up.
