I didn't know that. Any car that comes with a built-in Spinal Tap reference has to be good!

For those who missed the meet in Wales..
…an independent view of the Tesla experience, from someone who's more than a bit of a Pistonhead/Petrolhead

And after my Tesla experience, I have to say I share his opinion; our beloved V8s are tomorrow's steam trains. Which isn't such a bad thing as long as we can preserve enough of them for posterity. Teslas are good, very good, but they ain't no V8. The future's bright -- the future's green.

BBC4, Julia Bradbury AND Penmaenpool/George Hotel
Just caught this on broadcast TV (BBC4) this evening. A repeat, methinks, but worth watching for a reminder of this summer's meet, and a lovely location anyway.
No Teslas (or 8's) in sight mind! ..but Julia Bradbury more than makes up for that in my book.
