Here’s a good example of the reason I have comments switched off on this site.<\/p>\n
In that last article (about the Nissan Leaf), I said that the cost of a new set of batteries (approximately \u00a318,000) was enough to buy THREE new Vauxhall Corsas.<\/p>\n
Here’s a copy of the email I just received:<\/p>\n
\nYou need to go and check out the price of vauxhall corsas! If your (sic) going to type crap at least try and get close to the truth. LIAR <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Yes, he’s quite right. The cheapest price for a new Corsa I could find anywhere – admittedly, just by Googling it - was \u00a36,967. Of course, I’m not talking about a full-on pratmobile with blacked out windows, big-mouth exhaust, and low profile alloys, or anything like that. Just a bog-standard trainee <\/em>pratmobile.<\/p>\n
So allow me to correct that previous comparison statement I made and put it in terms the hard of thinking can understand.<\/p>\n
A new set of batteries for a Nissan Leaf costs around \u00a318,000 – you could buy 2.5836084398 new Corsas for that. So that’s 2.6 Corsas, and not 3.0 whole ones like I said.<\/em> <\/p>\n
Not quite the same flowing comparison, is it? But I’m sure Steve – the Sky internet user from the Great Malvern\/Telford area, who likes to call people liars - feels much <\/em>better now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
