I was in the main shopping centre this morning and I saw my next set of wheels. I am going EV, despite my criticisms.
The one I was looking at was a single seater - but it does have a basket in front for my messages and I can order a plastic tonneau for inclement weather. I will decline the solid "run flat" tyres and go instead for the pneumatic grey wall variety.
I thought something along this line.

Do you have to get different tyre profiles if you go from the Plastic alloy rims to steel rims? Just thinking about the rolling circumference. It must be a bit like the submersible James Bond car as I see it has "8. Adjustable angle tiller with delta handle". Obviously state of the art but I think peanuts would fall through the mesh on the front carrier. Yes the birds would be after you but mostly pigeons.

No offence intended just trying to lighten up a boring office morning.

It's seagulls here. I took a bag of shopping out of the car, got back in to reverse into the garage and a gull was into the bag! I had to dive out and rescue my groceries.
Not sure what wheels to go for. It is available in black and wine, but I have always likes Mitsubishi's wine I think I'd go for that. Plus black is difficult to keep clean. I don't want to spend all my time washing it.
Boring morning retired!
