I've been contemplating something lately that may be the wave of the 
future. As a breathing human I'm thinking of going electric. I've seen 
the electric Mayflower and it looks real nice. I'd really hate to loose 
the sound of my motor, but in the long run electrics do make sense for 
short distance daily drivers. Maybe one of each. BTW, does anyone know 
what a Herald saloon weighs? Any thoughts?
