I'm almost eighteen months into my mk8 and did actually think about going to order its replacement the other day!

However I'm keeping this a bit longer and ordering a milk float to go with it soon ish.

What’s the EV choice/shortlist Fred?

Mini electric. We have a lot of minis in the household already, seemed like a logical choice as it's not my car!

To my eyes that’s the perfect choice.
Still my favourite EV.  :smiley:

I don't need it to be a massive barge and that narrows the field quite a bit. Range not really a problem, just going to use it as a local run around.

Ahh, level 2, same as I was planning on going if I ever got round to it (which I didn’t).
Best value spec but a shame the £1500 gov’t grant has vanished.

How? I know we have all waited/are waiting a substantial amount of time for our cars but this seems far too long. I waited 12 months to get mine and I ordered 4 months after you. Is your dealer being shady? Telling you it hasn't been built when in actual fact it has, and they have sold it for far more and then just ordered you another one telling you it is still waiting for a build week. I hope it comes soon for you man!
