If a drone is being flown illegally, I wonder what the position would be if you were to shoot it down with a paintball gun?

Back to EVs, I see that Mercedes now has the Edmunds real-world range record at 422 miles. I bet there's still someone who will moan it's not enough though smile

Yup they'll need at least a 1000 mile range even with a 100 mile bladder like mine.

I discovered I have a nine hour 400 mile bladder, so 422 isn't so bad, except on the day, with heater, wipers and lights on most of the way it wouldn't be enough.

Buy a cheap drone and accidentally collide with it.

The picture below sums up my feelings about conversions and hybrids for that matter.
If you want an EV, buy one designed to be one. They are good.
Anything else is the same as trying to make vegan bacon, foolish illusion.

There were a number of "Classic EV Conversions" at the Festival of Speed. Who will be the first to destroy a Morgan in this way.
Oh, it was MMC a few years ago!

Well Peter, your nuc in the back yard moment is getting closer!

https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/qatar-backs-rolls-nuclear-project-5212196/

"Rolls-Royce has secured £85m from Qatar for a 10% stake in its programme to build a generation of smaller nuclear reactors, a project that is part of the UK’s push to meet its net zero targets. The UK government announced in November that it would commit £210m of grant funding to the programme; Rolls-Royce is contributing £50m, and has also received £145m from private investors. Government officials are banking on these new nuclear reactors to create jobs and help meet future electricity demand. However, critics say the programme will come too late to make any significant contribution to the UK’s climate targets."

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Well, I've had the Mini SE for 3 days and a couple of hundred miles now. An interesting mix of spaceship complexity in all the gizmos but utter simplicity to drive. A very different beast indeed from the Morgan or the Defender. I'm very happy with the looks, the 2022 models have got a good deal less of the 'trout pout' that the earlier 'leccys had.
