I do like that.
I quite like some of the two colour VW electric Buzz models - but they look hellishly expensive.

Search for the Style models - the ones on the first few "pages" are boring. I could re-edit this to go straight to those - but life is too short.
That's because they are. If I were to add up the total cost of every car, bike and van I've bought during my time on earth, it wouldn't match the cost of this thing. Maybe they'll become more affordable eventually, but by then it'll be way past my bedtime.Quote:

petrol - not electrified. I think it cost around £3500 - kitted out as a camper van. Got us round Spain, and later I used it to go to work and also sometimes as a temporary office. Was useful for moving furniture, and on occasions car gearboxes or other heavy and difficult car parts.Of course that £3500 was old money and we sold it on around 1983 or 1984 IIRC.
Probably a bit more useful up here - there are farmers and loggers who might find them useful. Better than yummy mummies using them in Surrey to take kids to school, though mostly those use huge SUVs. I didn't like pickups in the US, and often they'd come up behind and hang there for miles on mountain roads - either going up or going down. I took delight in the day when I finally floored it on the way down a mountain, and drove a pickup off into a turnout. Took half a year or more of practice to do that.Quote:

Hello, have any motorcyclists on here had any experience of Black Widow exhausts? Good quality? Road legal? Cheers James
Yeah, I've seen those being sold via Ebay, good price. I too would be interested in folk's opinions.Quote:

Yeah so if you were stopped by a copper who was determined to get you for something, that would do the trick. In reality it would probably be fine as long as you weren't revving the knackers off it. My concern would be more to do with the quality and longevity of the can's finish.
On an unrelated note I got my insurance renewal notice for my bike (FireBlade RR3) today, from Bennetts. £149 (up from £141 last year). I can live with that. The real cost this spring will be replacing some of my motorcycle clothing, which has mysteriously shrunk since I last wore them 3 years ago :(
