OK, I'm impressed. People doing things like this and getting these results will certainly help the move away from fossil fuels.

all we need now is nuclear fusion to power the vehicles instead of using fossil fuel to make electricity.

I reckon that is a lot of it. However, it will make people realise what is possible with electric cars - it will have a flow-on effect.

Obvious the benefits of EP are there and are being used to show up some big fuel sucking cars that there not all that good.

Just like beating a WRX powered VW with an aircooled VW engine - Total satisfaction.

Think I may have just opened a can of worms :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Please, no knives :ninja:

Just quietly I would love to have a subi in a Beetle, but I am not chopping my car up now. Maybe next time :D
