    Saw a local one set off last Thursday, these sound amazing for an EV.

    That's a kind of mind blowing statement. I need to hear one in the wild because I've never come across and EV that sounds like anything.

    The whine out of it was horrific.

    I don't have that luxury either which is why I wait until around 6 in the evening before I wash the car or hope that it's overcast if it's a Saturday.

    My car port again can't come soon enough!

    Tis rare enough we get it, didn't even cross my mind it might be a bad thing. :o

    On keeping cars in sheds, any top tips here?

    I've disconnected the battery, completely dried it before putting the cover on, blanketed the car in those pound shop dehumidifier pots and put some vaseline on hinges. I was thinking of getting 4 steelies and taking the alloys off to save the new Goodyears that went on it before entering the shed.

    Haven't bought petrol stabilisers, trickle charger, tyre mats or anything like that. Any quick wins?

    Best thing you can do for a car that is parked up is drive it at least every two weeks.

    Contaminemt removed, clayed, polished and sealant.

    I think they are OK if your into that kinda think. I'm not a fan of black wheels or anything black on them apart from the grill I even had my rear defuser colour coded but it's all down to taste. They are a lovely car to drive ether way.

    They sound of nothing, have heard a few of them drive by me at this stage. I don't like the fake noise, especially given Porsches back catalogue I can't understand why they didn't fake one of their flat sixes into the cabin (along with the obligatory spaceship sound).

    The Audi e-tron GT is the first electric car that sounds interesting, the fake noise in the RS model sounds reasonably like a petrol V8.

    Just got the old defender back in the road, and recently purchased this old car which spent the weekend cleaning. Gets some funny looks on the road.
