@Matt_Riggers @A1GOY @alantaylorjones @ir_427 @TedWelford @CARmagazine @ParkersCars @VWCV_UK_Media I’m failing to see an issue with any of this

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@mike77cos It has a tacho. I’m only a category B licence holder though but I was allowed to drive it having done the extra training course required by the electric van derogation loophole

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

Getting this onto my driveway tonight is going to be fun…

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@mike77cos It’s the bigger, 113kWh, battery so a 4.25 tonne

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@keithwrjones It was already cracked. And this solved the mystery of how the previous owners had managed to do so

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@t2stu Isn’t it. Not ours sadly, but we get to appreciate our neighbours’ efforts. There’s a reason the picture doesn’t show our ‘rewilding’ approach to gardening…

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

Fits like a glo…oh

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

As an added bonus, the top-mounted reversing camera means I can inspect the gutters. Kinda wish I hadn’t.

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@A1GOY Gerrof moi vaaans. Or something

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

Absolutely delighted to hear @itvcycling serenade @romainbardet with SL2’s On a Ragga Tip in tonight’s highlights, as happens in our house whenever he appears on screen

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

Hotel transport. Instagram versus reality

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@masonf55 @Stephen_Dobie That or he won it for his writing…!

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@AndrewNoakes It relates to this

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@mctreckmeister And in Parkers blue so you can keep us with you. Delighted it was the first to feature in this year’s advent sequence!

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@PhillTromans All that Moana and no ‘Welcome’? Smallest Webster wouldn’t stand for that

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@Matt_Joy @CBThorburn ‘I’ve given up alcohol’ worked pretty well for me. I kept ‘I have a problem’ in reserve in case it didn’t.

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@hugo_griffiths I’ve talked to them and it’s a factor, of course, but it’s one of many. As Lawrence says, they are nicer to drive in urban environments, you have more control over fuelling, there is lower local emissions, lower SMR costs, it helps with corporate eco goals…

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@hugo_griffiths Sure, if you choose the testing parameters to show as much. Those companies that have done the TCO and usage assessments to go EV-only disagree and their shareholders don’t like money being wasted. As I said, it’s nuanced and can’t be reduced to ‘X is better than Y’

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@hugo_griffiths And there are lots of ‘subsidies’ hidden in our tax system. I don’t caveat a review of a pickup because of the CV BIK benefits for example

[Tom Webster @TCRWebster]

@hugo_griffiths There’s too much nuance to say you should/shouldn’t in a short statement. For some - those with predictable working days for example, of which there are many - EVs are perfect so no compromise is needed
