Indeed, have tried myself and not the easiest. You'll see a lighter version of me in a couple of weeks, I reckon I could manage it now The swing of the doors is more an issue in tight spaces

Might revisit the Fisker with the massive discounts on stock, just depends if the latest software updates fix their issues, waiting to see

The road tax prices are just too stupid.

Take this D4 S8

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-det...02311103842246

£415 per year to tax as it was registered 17th March 2017

Had it been registered two weeks later on or after 1st April 2017 (and it's not April fool's joke), it would now be £190 per year to tax
