Quite likely the worst thing I've ever driven was a Ford Festiva, which was a rebadged Daewoo of some kind. It was a rental in Florida and it felt like I was risking my life. It had a three banger that could easily have been mistaken for simply wind powered.

People have dropped EV motors into 2CVs and they easily do 70, which combined with the instant torque and acceleration on offer must be very confusing for the traffic light grand prix brigade.Comment

If EV conversions weren't so prohibitively expensive, I'd happily find a donor DeLorean and do that. Its drivetrain was a deadly-weak point and a good EV system would sort it right out.Comment

God. When I lived in Wellington I used to love strolling around outside Parliament there and always appreciated that the seat of government was so accessible. Now the whole space is full of fascists, fantasists, racists, narcissists and conspiracy peddlers as a consequence.Comment

Now that this is over the next several weeks/months will reverberate with post-game analysis. Before it starts it's worth pointing there was no serious violence at any time, which can only be a good thing whichever "side" one happens to be on. However, based on on-site streeters, the lack of civic awareness by many of the "occupiers" was jaw-dropping. They were shocked/surprised, not angry or even upset, just hurt that their individual "rights" didn't trump the declared state of emergency. The educational system in this country clearly needs a major work-over. Basic courses in civics, critical thinking and personal and collective rights/responsibilities need to be added urgently.

Yeah. Good piece.
This is of some relevance too. Though it locates the primary responsibility in Western dissatisfaction as usual.
