Looks like they have an EV challenge.
I have a Polestar 2 and have been looking at those Mink Caravans - my son has been pushing me to get one for his long haul football trips. Both the car and the caravan are Scandinavian designed. The only thing stopping me getting one is they cost £20k, plus options, like heating :(

Looks like Fred is driving it. What a coincidence !!

Brewers online personna is annoying - supposedly getting one over in a deal, and deriding the side-kick ... is that an act ?
but, I think the same is true of Clarkson, the ****wits on top gear too, .... someone must like them though,
conversely I don't think Sabine, Needel , Vicki , Plato, Karthik have a bad side,
imagine Lewis too, as a petulant presenter, but, he's made enough money.

He also did a piece on the war in Afghanistan and seemed down to earth.

I was there and spoke to him a few times but spoke to the film crew lots - no-one liked him as his "happy/cheeky" cockney appearance was paper thin and he was a moody petulant child constantly with zero "muck in and help out" which his crew said they would normally expect on location shoots.

Maybe he was going through a rough patch I've no idea but certainly at the time he wasn't well liked - I mean if you asked for a pic his "public" persona was fine, it was more his "real" behind the scenes attitude people complained about.
