Popped down to our local Fisker dealer last week. It used to be LR, then closed in the downturn, now opened again as Fisker but still do LR service & parts.
Must say I was pretty impressed with the Fisker. Nice bit of kit, not really my cup of tea, but it seemed very high quality, if rather expensive and not really suited to Utah's snow (although we've had all this year).

I was there to pick up one of those big tubular brushbars - 60quid or so. Not everyone's cup of tea, but for that price, and the fact deer are frequent commuters on the freeway to work I thought it was worth a go.
Got chatting to the service guys who owned the fleet of off-road prepared disco's out front. Made my LR3 look positively tiny! Very helpful guys.

The Fisker was on Top Gear last Sunday, 2.0ltr petrol and electric motor, no ?
The petrol engine is used to charge the batteries only !
Looks cool but about £86000 was mentioned !

It's $105k here, so about 66k GBP? A fair chunk of change!'80 109 Stage 1 V8 - still going strong!

Running fine - a bit of rubbing on full lock, good on snow (frequent here), very good on rock (see my Moab thread), although in my limited experience they are not great on mud!'80 109 Stage 1 V8 - still going strong!
