Howdy, saw your mention of Sw DD and her skillset, I have been thinking of visiting here. I've done a few trios and mores in the past and am open to that, I'm very straight though, no worries!

We drink a lot of coffee, high-test preferred, none of that decaf. True about the reviews, we just talk coffee and tea, that's all as per advice from the admins. But feel free to sign up and DM a member where we talk shop. We have a few very good coffee shops.

Hard to make a recommendation without any guidance as to your likes. The London Sugar advertisers all have good reps, and tend to be somewhat older than the LL ones. One bonus is that you will likely be able to drive right up to a place and park for free.

I had a "work week" away a few years ago when wifi wasn't universal even here, but found very suitable accommodations in San Jose, Costa Rica at Hotel La Amistad. It's a boutique hotel with a good restaurant and small bar, on public transport and a quick walk to one of the city's best and...

Good points. For me, at my age, depreciation is not a major factor, plus I bought a used EV which allowed someone else to provide the depreciation ahead of my purchase.

LTO, you know me, so you know that I will give it to you straight. Those of us who own EVs know the truth, others only know rumours. That junk you hear about battery replacement is just nonsense, less than 2% of all EVs ever built have needed batteries replaced, and that is on a field of...

Tesla tends to attract some odd customers due to the tech and the speed. Mine is one of the very quickest, and I have mine set in "chill" mode, still much faster than a Vette. Driving required concentration and some skill, and it is always wise to read the owners manual to learn how to operate...

Well there's three members who have strong opinions which won't re swayed by evidence or discussion. I've missed the point? My last name is Ford? Of course the fire is intense and most fire departments have gear to deal with it quickly, but not necessarily on every truck that gets the call...

Most quality workers use another site which is London-centric. londonsugar.com Ads are visible to non-members, but the forum (same as here) requires a membership. Sign up for free and check the reviews as you can here.

Sure, crazies driving way too fast and lost control. Just happened to be in an EV and didn't read the owners manual to learn how to manually release the door handles, or were too messed to survive any crash. If it had been in a different vehicle it would have blown up much the same, at that...

In general, walking is safer, as long as you are not close to a car. But really, there are millions on the road, with very few actual problems. As with any new technology, there's some start-up pains. When I say new, the new era of EV started in 2011 with a VW model, a BMW model and a...

There are a few threads here on that topic, but since nobody else with more experience has jumped in, here's my contribution. Fron YYZ you can easily reach many of the listed countries, and of those my singular experience was in Costa Rica. Safe and interesting, lots of sightseeing and...

As I recall BBBJ was the norm, not the exception.

I was there a few years ago and had a great time. Check out the Sportmen's Lodge, lots of info and vids on youtube. I stayed nearby and a boutique hotel, a friendly place.

Hey my friend, if you want to know info on any EV, including lived experience, ask me. Doug or otherwise, doug1.
