As you maybe aware, I used to work for Vectrix and so have been able to cover over 3000 miles on one.

The Vectrix truly is an engineering masterpiece, built to the highest quality with the best available components. It sports brands such as Brembo, Marzocchi, Sachs and uses a motor designed in conjunction with Parker Hannifin who also do work with many large German automotive firms.

Riding the bike is easy, and as you would with a normal bike, you put in your key and switch the ignition on to… Continue

The claim is that the jeep has the majority of its parts manufactured locally and the carbon cost of manufacturing is so much lower that it easily offsets the environmental running costs.

This is an interesting subject, and a very emotive one at that. I can appreciate that the motor trade employs a huge amount of people in the UK and also represents a large part of our economy and i’d never wish for anyone to be put out of a job.
