    Great points mate. Europe don’t have the cowboy wanker drivers we have here. One lane only for them and 90km/h. We should have the same thing, but we never will. The Hume idea is great Bryce.

    Gents. Continuing with the theme of trucks and new technology, and following the tech I posted a few days ago of the bus and it’s extendable pantograph charging while dropping and picking up passengers, here is another good idea from another Swedish manufacturer Scania. As all heavy vehicles...

    Gents. I incorrectly posted the below in the wrong thread. Something new and battery operated from Volvo Construction Equipment.

    Leather Care... AutoGlym vs Duragloss

    Ahhhhhhhhh how is our cloud III and shadow friend Brian? I’ve also heard that along with the bottle of single malt, an open box of Cuban cigars adds to the ambiance as well.

    Leather Care... AutoGlym vs Duragloss

    The downside to the RMW product is it had no smell at all. The products Brian has mentioned also leave a terrific aroma 🥰

    Leather Care... AutoGlym vs Duragloss

    My Shadow responded very well to RM Williams leather conditioner. Pretty unimaginative, but worked pretty well. It came in a 500g tub. Rub it in thick with bare hands leave the car out in the sun all day. Completely soaked in by night time 😊 Did this about every 12 months.

    Agree Michel, and there are no wires running all over the city that can be seen like they used to.

    Gents, I wanted to post this pic of a new charging solution in Sweden for Volvo full electric buses. This can be installed strategically around the bus rout for maximising the “charging opportunities” Super high kW charging up to 350kW. A few minutes will give the bus an extra 30 minutes drive...

    Yes Sean, It’s the biggest single order of battery electric trucks in the world so far. 50 of ours, and 10 small trucks (we don’t do these smaller range) from our opposition. We don’t do the trailer thing here in Oz, that’s typically in Europe. We ship containers by rail here, but very few...

    You’re right Brian. It has to be fair for all. I’m just bitching about the Government. It would be nice not to pay tax 🙄

    As BEV’s owners don’t buy petrol, they don’t pay any of the taxes pushed onto petrol sales. The NSW Government has announced that all BEV’s will pay 2.61c/k and hybrids of any type will pay 2.088c/k. This will take effect in 2027, or when BEV sales reach 30% of the total market, whichever comes...

    Ahhhhhhhhhhh it’s all good Brian. Trucks, electric vehicles, V Facts we all learn no matter where it is 🤣

    Yes mate, Tesla often outsells Camry as well. BEV’s and hybrids are selling big time. No stamp duty, plus $3k back from the government. Plus some places now offer “Green Car Loans” so instead of paying up to 8%, they are offered at between 2-3%. Why? Because the banks and lenders get carbon...
