Reference :- Chris Kelly gave us a chance to laugh along with him as he described a ridiculously impractical electric police car in the USA running low on battery charge.
Brilliant observation Chris . Petrol engined cars never run out of petrol . Never in the history of car chases has a petrol engined car run out of juice . Although I did see that in an old Bogart movie once , but that was just Hollywood, and it didn't even look like a real car .
Sure those Teslas can take off faster than a new girfriend when she catches a glimpse of the size of your last pay cheque. But those electron driven mutants have a puny range of only 600klm . What good is that ,considering the average police car chase lasts almost three full minutes ? I reckon we bring back those V8 Falcon GTs ,with a 44 gallon drum strapped in the boot to help them handle . Even at 9 miles to the old imperial gallon they still had a decent range . My son , Ken junior is quite a petrol head , and he loves hearing about the days when we could buy ex pursuit cars at the auctions on the cheap . They were ideal for doing burnouts after the cops had finished thrashing them . Once again an impeccably researched story Chris . You would never resort to scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for any way to discredit the climate change vultures . If you need help with another car based story feel free to ask my advice . I have restored many a muscle car over the decades , and still do, despite the emphysema .
Your comrade , Ken
