Hi Gavin - any ideas on price. Sorry couldn’t make it to end of clip in case you did mention it.

I got never made it to the end if the clip though so no ideas on price. The ID buzz is excellent but the price is astronomical and AFAIK there are only 2 or 3 in the country. If pricing is anything like ID buzz then it is a bust at least for a few years till there are some second hand ones

Looks good

And this www.autocar.co.nz/nissan-micra...

Thanks Micra sounds better already. I found this too

Thanks Simon. I don’t like any Nissan’s but if they solved the battery problem by using Renault then that could work. Its just where are the vans / like my earlier question where are the station wagons? MG5 is out there but impossible to get in NZ

And if the Leaf hasn't got the battery thermal management sorted that is a no. Need CCS too. Maybe I should try to import a Renault r5 / or Megane Electric myself?

very confusing as they have cross shareholdings and Renault builds motors for a few companies including Nissan

OK - if the latest leaf is actually a Renault r5 then there are some shared platform or other parts though. Depending on what year the car is.

I want an R5 but no one seems to be able to do that in NZ. But I'm told the latest Leaf is a rebadged R5 and so the story goes in circles.

Hey Mark, correlation equals causation, everyone knows that.

Thanks John. I will follow up.

As Lowery told the FCC a decade ago, what matters isn’t just how the money moves—it’s also that the public doesn’t see it. The “$50 handshake” never died. It just learned how to code. I wonder how much longer Spotify shareholders will put up with it

I've never listened to Spotify yet despite thinking it was a good idea when it started. That Pelly book should put them out of business and good riddance.

I have seen Senso & The Leopard. The Leopard is one of my favourites but Ossessione from 1943 is a revelation. First half starts a bit slow but halfway though something happens. I haven seen The Postman Always Rings etc from 1981 because Jack - so recognised the source immediately.
