The Nissan Leaf - What's the point?

Recently there's been a lot of adverts for the Nissan Leaf - one today stated it was "the most popular 100% electric car"  So that means theyve sold two then!?

Fair play to the people who thought of, and designed this car - but its too early for anyone to actualy use an all electric car, unless all they do is drive 1 mile a week to the shops, in which case, they should be walking.  There's no infrastructure of electrical charging stations to be able to drive one on a day to day basis. The batteries are also very expesive, and if they are looked after carefully, will last a max of 5 years. Look after the battery in a bad way, it could last you 1 year - and then its about £5k to replace it.  So who are the two people that bought this car?   A tax man, and someone who lives in the woods all year round?

Campervans. Get a proper car!

Recently i've been made aware of a select group of people who seem to think that campervans are a cool thing to own. 

I dont think that this has somehow be classed as "cool." These campervans are simply nothing more than an old van, with a window cut in the side and an old matress that smells of wee inside. The type of people who think these are cool, are usually over 40, eithet teachers, or policemen and have nothing else to do but drive around thinking they're in their 20's and 30's again! Sometime's theyve even wasted their time by painting things on the side of them to in a bid to look even more cooler. It just draws attention to the fact they're being a tw@!

Why don't you grow up and get a proper car? If you want to go away and stay somewhere overnight you dont have to sleep in a van, there's a thing called a hotel. Here you can sleep somewhere where the matress doesnt smell of urine (unless its the Plymouth Travellodge) and where you might actually be treated like a respected person, rather than an old person, trying to relive their youth, and acting like a tramp!
