Which frequently found itself stuck behind caravaners who love nothing more than to travel in pairs creating veritable road trains of frustrated owners of vehicles not towing caravans. Seriously that sort of intel you should keep to yourself in polite society. |

My caravans shipping length is 23 ft 7" attached to a Vauxhall Insignia estate (2 litre diesel), so a substantial combination, will be causing havoc with it tomorrow, large top box and kayak plus surf board on the roof, four bikes on a rack that fits between hitch and bracket, that's what I need an electric car to do.

Maybe we will all have to go back to living within horse and cart distance of work? And holidays by train?
Sounds idilic and dreadful at the same time. |

Horses? All that muck would be good for the rose growers. I've even heard that people put it on their rhubarb!..........each to their own I suppose, I prefer custard. |

Octavia 1.4 TSI estate. Derby to Carnac with two Javelins, three bikes, lots of camping kit and three big blokes. No problem. Only got 30mpg tho. Those 1.4 engines are a bit gutless at low revs, but they'll do the job.

Trains will need a radical overhaul, apart from being packed they are too expensive, before covid I used to fly from Birmingham to Darlington for a quarter of the price of the train.
Hydrogen and flow batteries are the future, Sci-fi is hoping for mini reactors powering flying personal vehicles. |

Needs looking at, electric train with average life span of 30 years carrying hundreds of people, should be cheaper.
