Battery Vehicle Society

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, duxuk. I am truly sorry that this was your first contact with the society. That was me sat next to John, desperately trying to coax a positive opinion from him.

Yes, the move is in progress. My weekend away at Newark got in the way.

I have a drawer full of toasted plugs and ...
