If it's the model I think it is, 230kw across 4 wheel drive, will accelerate 2+ tonnes of Beamer to
60 MPH in a little under 5.6 secs. Meanwhile your 20kg ebike is limited to 1/1000th that power and cuts out at 15.7mph because "safety"

The little closed church unfortunately soon became derelict once again, before happily being rescued once more when, in 1979, it was restored and converted into the Gogar Cabinetworks, a furniture-maker's workshop, which the building remains to this day.

The medieval church at Gogar became ruinous after the Reformation and was rebuilt 1891-1901.

The decision was taken to close the building in 1954, with the congregation asked to join their ancient font two miles away in the historic Old Corstorphine Kirk.

They've got 2 fences, 1 each at top and bottom of embankment. I often wondered about checking if the upper fence is actually on council-owned land as it felt off that they should have sold a portion of the embankment off

That's an absolute joke of a diversion, which "Gavin
N. Brown" should be forced to cycle daily, in the dark, from now until the 16th January or until such time as he accepts the ridiculous nature of it
