Is that a bricky broker or a broken bricky ?

Besides I think Joe Farrugia is interested.

So am I - has been my daily driver for nearly 20 years.

Would love to hear from Joe if he is interested. Boschvette also knows of someone who may be interested.

If Boschvette gets involved you might see it at Bathurst next year

Sorry Shane, I meant great!!!

Probably a Tesla eventually. Even the base model is quicker to 100kmh than the Z06.

Will miss the V8 soundtrack tho...

Oh, no. Going over to the dark side. Even a Ford is more respectable than that.

Yes - electric motor acceleration is astounding - always has been, but now with purpose designed and built motors, they are a game changer.

But in this country we suffer the tyranny of distance and batteries will always need a long time to re-charge.

Its a sign of the times, battery developement is advancing, but still re-charge time equals discharge time (generally).

But time and tide stands still for no man .....

P.S - you can always put an Audio System complete with sound effects for that V8 feeling.

I helped Andy Felton with a Vette soundtrack many years ago. I'll have to get a copy.

Zero to 60 mph in 0.97 seconds ... but it helps to know what you are doing:
