When I read the email from British Gas about this competition I actually thought I had won a car too. So sorry to repeat the cruel trick, but now I have your attention how about winning a lovely Christmas present for a child, or the child at heart in your life? Even better this car needs no batteries and teaches children all about sustainable energy. I have 5 Solar powered Go Go cars to give away.
Easy to assemble, this amazing car works from natural sunlight and can move backwards and forwards just like a regular toy car.
Don’t worry if the sun isn’t out, playtime can still continue. Simply connect the handle generator to use the car when the clouds appear.
This giveaway comes courtesy of British Gas, in celebration of the Future Car Challenge 2012 which took place last week and provided spectators with a fantastic line-up of Electric Vehicles, celebrity drivers and insights into the future of the EV industry.
I was a fairly early adopter to the Toyota Prius, a hybrid car that used a combination of electric and petrol sadly it had to be replaced when we needed something that could tow a caravan, but I miss it hugely, it was so quiet, easy to drive and used hardly any petrol.
British Gas provide charging solutions for many leading EV manufacturers, Nissan, Renault, Hitachi Capital, Toyota and Vauxhall. British Gas’ role at the FCC was to charge up six different electric cars, each being driven by a different celebrity or influencer ‘racing’ from Brighton, to the finish in London.
I enjoyed this video of the Future Car Challenge too, for the shots of my old stomping ground Brighton, but also for the goal of normalising people’s perceptions of electric cars. One day plugging in your car will be as normal as plugging in your mobile phone. I’d like to have seen some female EV ambassadors.

I am the best driver because….I have followed direction supplied by Mrs A residence and lived to tell the tale…..she is hopeless at directions blog readers!
Oliver would love a car. Vroom vroom, yes please!
My son would love this car and is the best driver in our house because he makes the best “vroom vroom crash” sound affects
- I”m god-father to toddler who is either destined for formula-one or driving some kind of heavy mechanical equipment, he hasn’t quite decided yet….think this would be right up his street, especially now they have a garden that isn’t colonised by chickens. Seems to be designed for outside, rugged, tough….the toy looks like that as well ………..!

I am the best driver as I haven’t had a bump or accident in over 20 years of driving. When I renewed my car insurance last week even the insurance broker on the phone said ‘Wow! Good little driver aren’t you’
im the best driver! as i am careful and considerate
My son definitely thinks he is the best driver. Last week he told me the best way to reverse park is for him to sit in the driving seat and for me to sit in the boot.
There are days when I understand why animals eat their young at birth.
P.S. My four year old grandson would love this prize, he is car mad.
I have subscribed
My husband is the best driver (he thinks so anyway) I have other ideas,

I’m a woman, is that not sufficient justification as to why I am a better driver?

I have never had an accident!
I think I must be the best driver – if number of years driving counts!
My husband is the best driver as he has been driving for longer than I have and is very confident. He knows what to do in any situation and is fab at Parallel parking (unlike myself). Have subscribed by email.

I would give this to my son, he will be soon learning to drive but in the meantime he could have lots of fun with this.
I am the best driver because I’ve not had an accident.

I got the wrong way down one way street, break the clutch and stall a lot, but still the best driver
If I won I would give the car to Daisy who may be only 2 but is already a backseat driver.
when we sit at traffic lights she shouts ‘Stop’ as the lights go amber then red and as soon as they go red & amber she says ‘ready’ and shouts Go, go, go’ when green arrives!
Not only this but she gets hold of Daddy’s phone and plays a driving game by turning the phone from side to side. So I think I should encourage her driving talents because in a few years time she could be the first female F1 driver and I might be able to retire and follow her around the world from Grand Prix to Grand Prix

my son is the best driver he drives me made at times
ohh what a fab prize!
I’m the best driver in our house by virtue of my gear changes not nearly putting passengers through the windscreen.
It has to be my husband hes also the best taxi driver!
Liking on facebook also
I’m such a good driver, so good in fact, that I drive people absolutely crazy
My daughter believes I am the best driver as I talk her through how I am driving but I always put the emphasis on being careful. When the car is parked she plays with the car putting it all into use. The car would be brilliant as we could get her used to it and get her driving like Lewis Hamilton on the tracks at the age of 5, if not before! She would adore it.
I’m the best driver…cos my two year old said so!
Also following an twitter x
my son who is 3 is the best driver he sits on a cushion saying beeeepp beeeppp brooommm broommmmm he would love this , and im sure his dad would love it just as much lol xx
Apparently a man I have never met before thinks I am a good driver as he passed me on the motorway he was clapping at me!! so thanks to him for his vote.
