Courtesy car whilst the van's in for a service today; a 2025 Mercedes CLA 250e, 160 bhp from a 1.3 litre (!) petrol engine combined with a 110 bhp electric motor to make a combined 220 bhp (those figures don't actually add up, but that was from the internet). Otherwise unimpressed; too many...

The battery looks salvageable 👍

I remember my ex on first seeing one saying it looked like a car had crashed on top of another, which I thought was a good analogy. The advent of the Panamera finally convinced me that Porsche had lost the plot with their styling.

Jeeves is on his annual leave ;)

My father managed to do something very similar in the early 70s swapping out a Ford Transit battery. The spanner he was using to undo the positive terminal touched the bodywork & a ring on his finger was in contact with the spanner, he ended up with a permanent scar in the shape of the ring on...

Quite an eclectic mix in our household, the other half drives a 1.0 3 cylinder, I drive a 4 cylinder diesel for work & I have a V8 for the weekend. Fours just leave me cold, I remember passing my motorcycle test & clamouring for an inline four. Very quickly I got bored of it & have had V-twins...

It must've fallen off then, although I don't remember the cage hanging down, or there even being one. Was about 20 years ago though.
