Posted on 15/01/2018 20:36 by cyberyachtFrom where I'm sitting it appears to be a vehicle with insufficient range for the task in hand that cannot be afforded and is likely to be of minimal value at the end of the exercise. As I read elsewhere a day or so ago "un imbécile et son argent sont bientôt séparés" so ultimately pointless.

Posted on 16/01/2018 09:04 byCheck out operator in Tesco, maybe, using the Shogun to commute! The Shogun might not be viable as a delivery vehicle but a short commute to work there and back should not be a problem and it would give it the necessary daily run! If it's only a few miles, the cost will be minimal. So that may not be an entirely pointless future prospect!

Posted on 16/01/2018 09:59 bySeems like an ideal job for now, it would save you thousands of pounds a year, you could even take your wife along and she could sit at the next till and get paid!
Just think of all the points you could accumulate - a Win/win/win etc all round

If only it was so easy...
Online aptitude test, interview including group assessment then a wait to see if your available hours match gaps in their rota allocations. You can express a preference for check outs but no guarantees
Even for Christmas temp jobs

Posted on 16/01/2018 10:42 byOne problem that I have is that when a manufacturer says 99 miles range I hear 80 miles.

Especially when there website claims 57 mpg for the urban cycle in a petrol 4/2 and 54 mpg in a petrol 4/4.
So if Malcolm's figures are accurate at 28 mpg he only gets about 50% of what they claim. Translate that to the EV and your range would be down to 50 miles. Even allowing for closer to 40 mpg for the petrol, would equate to a around a 30% overestimate. Translating to an EV range of 70 miles.
These manufactures figures are all done under laboratory conditions and have little relevance to the real world.

JayEss, Nothing worthwhile is life is normally easy but he probably would have more success now than in 4 years time.
What has he got to lose from applying now for himself and his wife. It always seems easier getting a job when you are already in employment
