I still like the old 3 wheeled mountain bike invention.... Small Electric drive to single wheel at rear (no rear diff), and two wheels up front, for stability. A light weight car...

If I ever lose the drivers license, I will be ordering a custom from this dude... 3kW... Put some big stickers on the side saying "200W Electric Vehicle" & "Ultra Light Weight" in small font.... that will throw the tyre kicking coppers off the scent.... (I'll organise a over-ride switch for the 200W mode.... make it 3kW all the time)

On ninemsn today, the poll question: "has rising fuel cost affected your quality of life?"

So far

9000 YES
1900 NO

that says a lot.

The sad thing is I did the math and driving to work with the missus in her small Hyundai is still cheaper than the train ride by $30.00 a week (have a company parking spot in town). The Barnett team is increasing the train fare by 5% next financial year..... well done you idiot!
