Sign of the times..

Went to cross the road earlier at a zebra crossing, the stopped traffic consisted of an I8 and an electric black cab on one side and a golf GTE and Tesla on the other..

Was quite odd as they all pulled away as no sound at all bar tyre noise and a bit of a whine.

I'm sure we'll all be zooming around in milk floats that can reach 100mph in 5 sec soon enough but will certainly miss the old internal combustion engine.

Sounds like you were in a bad dream.
