Actually mine was a more recent model, and much sexier. I once used it to claim the record for getting from Frome to Bath before the kebab house closed (in about 12 minutes). That won't mean much to most of you.

As it happens I repeated that run a few weeks ago in empeg's Mercedes A-Class demo car. It took longer and the kebab house was closed (they didn't seem to care that I'd driven over 200 miles from home for a large doner, extra chilli - well, that wasn't the SOLE reason for the journey).
