Classic lines "When you look at Van Bronckhorst he won the Scottish Cup and got to the Europa League final. He was a penalty kick away from winning it and qualified for the Champions League after that so for him to lose his job early was a surprise."
Reminds me of an ex who couldn’t conquer her demons and ended up checking out of this life way too early. I had to leave her as she caused me so much trouble but still remember the call I got that she had gone. A beautiful woman but a troubled soul.
I've got a Mercedes C300e hybrid. It's 4 years old so ranges have been extended a bit since I purchased mine. It will do a realistic 20 miles on full electric with the 122 bhp electric motor. The claims say 30 but low 20s is the reality. Newer versions can do about 60 miles on battery. It also has a 2L turbocharged petrol engine giving about 200bhp.
In hybrid mode where you use both it gives 320 bhp with a 0-62 of 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 155mph.
Driving around town on short journeys is all electricity. Living in outer London this covers the majority of journeys. Costs about £1K to get a fast charger installed at home that will allow you to recharge in under 2 hours ( a domestic socket takes around 6).
The one downside is the space the battery takes in the boot. Mine is a Wagon (seems the new way of saying estate) and you have a step in the boot (where the battery is) and reduced capacity compared to a non-hybrid version.
You have various drive modes available and can use the petrol engine to recharge the battery. As someone has also said it will recover battery charge when breaking or going downhill.
That's absolute bollox - that people were claiming we were safe. I think most of us felt we'd done very well over Easter and put ourselves in a good position but were far from safe. I don't remember 1 post that thought we'd steamroller Wednesday. I think most felt it would be a hard game with Wednesday really up for it and we'd need to be at our best to get a result. We weren't and we didn't. But claiming the majority thought we'd win easily is just not true.
