A terrified electric car driver has revealed he was kidnapped by his runaway £30,000 MG ZS EV after the vehicle suffered a ‘catastrophic malfunction’ in a bizarre case which forced him to dodge red lights and roundabouts before calling police to ram it into their van. More

“… he was kidnapped by his runaway £30,000 MG ZS EV …”
A stooge on at least two (too? to?) levels.
“A fool and his money …”

What a fantastic excuse!
“Prime Minister Rishi Sunak”
I see the problem… they put the steering wheel on the wrong side!
I see they’re still carrying on the tradition of Lucas Electric… (catastrophic failure)
Oh my Lord, itz a flatbed Ford, slowin down to pick up my EV.
Oh Poopsie dear, let’s go Roundabout jumping today in our wondrous electric thing-a-jig!
^^^^Harry,
I had a Triumph Tiger in the 70’s. Lucas, aka: the prince of darkness.
30K pounds? He must have settled for the base model with the suicidal AI package.
^^^^^^ 58 Triumph TR3, 2 spare ignition coils in the boot.
… with the ability to ignite themselves!
…..and when you think you get the wiring figured out your Amal carburetor starts coughing for attention.
I had a 58 TR3 which cost me 4 points, out of a possible 6, on my drivers license which I wasn’t old enough to have…Bitch about British cars all you want, but if I had the money and time I’d have one of these…..https://www.motortrend.com/news/see-how-a-morgan-is-hand-built-from-start-to-finish-wvideo/
A vintage hop’d up lotus would be cool….
Electric cars will be a thing one day. But not this day, not this decade.
“A stooge on at least two (too? to?)…”OH another spelling nazi!
FJB/FUB
“..when his new Chinese-made fully electric car began driving itself at 30mph.”
aha, I think I’ve solved the puzzle
How did he know it was 30MPH? British car speedometers display kph.
I pity the fool who calls me a spelling Nazi!

1957 TR3 Small Mouth with Overdrive bought it in 1968, still have it today
I pulled up next to a gorgeous early 1950s MG TD. I commented to the driver what beauty it was. He replied that the best part was that underneath the MG skin, it was all Volvo, no Lucas.
