    Manufacturers who make commercial vehicles are normally pretty slow to put the sort of safety gear they put into their passenger vehicles , probably to help keep costs down but even so Great wall have lagged behind the other companies.

    All good points, but: camping.

    You forgot the stringy singlet. Is that because you want to wear it?

    Yes. Took a year off to save his marriage from some pretty bad behaviour on his part. Substance abuse issues too.

    He is an enthusiastic technologist though, so hopefully he’s sorted himself out now.

    Short haul aircraft are candidates for electrification but not sure what the fight profile would be - basically the same weight landing as taking off, which I imagine takes some getting used to.

    @antipodean Good stuff - they told GM to fuck off so I assume the conditions of the Ford deal are significantly more flexible.
