Fake news day.
Tell the policeman who came to my door yesterday (witness citation, in case you think I’ve been arrested again!) that the i3 is too slow…he turned up in a very grotty old Astra. Or the others tootling about the town in their large vehicles of choice, an Outlander or a Transit.
Sure, on the main road/bypass they have BMW 5 series, A4’s and the like (BMW’s in livery, A4’s almost always plain…), but lots of policing is doing day to day stuff, hardly need a big engine fire breather for that.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
