  1. My money's on the flux capacitor as the saviour of future vehicular power.. An interesting, somewhat tongue in cheek write-up here, that does explore the realities of the possibilities of this form of energy generation, along with nuclear power for vehicles. https://www.sandstoneproductions.co.uk/blogtothefuture/fluxcapacitor And then there is the thorium rector.. https://www.caradvice.com.au/132921/the-thorium-powered-car-eight-grams-one-million-miles/ China are looking to start-up thorium powered reactors https://www.livescience.com/china-creates-new-thorium-reactor.html The future is out there .....

  3. Now, I don't drive like a racing driver, well not on every outing 😉 but to drive quickly i.e. to cover distance in as short a time as possible, one must maintain as high a speed as possible for as long as possible and that will mean late, hard braking. That's all I meant in my interpretation of Colin's comment .. Seriously though I like to think I drive quickly but smoothly, carry as much speed as possible through corners etc.. I modulate accelerator control by looking as far ahead as possible and bleed off speed to try and keep momentum. However one might describe my driving 'style' when I was covering high annual mileages I probably needed pads every 40k-50k miles in my C class and had the first front pad change at 90k miles in the Alhambra. Now, the CLS55 was slightly different with pads and discs every two sets of tyres....
