The Nissan Leaf was starting to cause some Range Anxiety (it’s a thing for EV owners) as to whether I could get to work and back on a full charge, and it became more expensive to run now after the Government has put road user charges on EVs.

So … It’s bye bye Nissan Leaf and hello to Nissan Note!

It’s a petrol hybrid which means it has a petrol engine that charges a small battery which then powers the wheels. It’s a halfway house that is cheaper to run and more eco friendly than a traditional petrol engine but doesn’t need plugging in or incur road charges.

TBH it is still a dull, white box but it’ll get me from A to B cheaply and will hopefully last at least 5 years.

For lack of anything interesting happening here is a picture of Penny having a sniff down the park.

The local bus is looking a bit past it’s best…

As is fairly common in NZ someone dumped their dead vehicle by the roadside, in this case at the bottom of our street, then washes their hands of it. The vehicle then slowly sheds parts as it gets cannibalized, before eventually it gets torched or the Council get round to having it towed to the scrapyard.

I do quite like the fact is has “F#ck the System” sprayed on the back and the Police have put their warning sticker over the U to make it more family friendly.
