Description:
A cunning dad has combined 70 disposable vape batteries to convert his “un-stealable pink ladies’ bicycle” into an e-bike capable of reaching speeds of up to 15mph. Mark Hopgood, 55, a software engineer and musician from Sevenoaks, Kent, came up with the idea earlier in 2024 after his electric bike broke down and he was quoted £1,200 to buy a new one.After successfully completing a test ride, he now plans to use his converted bike on his daily commute.The father of two has been collecting hundreds of discarded vapes over the past year with the help of his son Ned, 20, and experimenting with their batteries to power various electrical items including his iPhone and musical equipment.

_watch-graffiti-artist-put-finishing-touch-to-dylan-thomas-at-tenby39s-oldest-pub.webp "Pembrokeshire artist Lloyd the Graffiti has been putting his finishing touches to another masterpiece - this time paying homage to one of Wales' most famous sons - poet Dylan Thomas - at the Coach and Horses Tavern - Tenby’s oldest pub, where as legend would have it, the prodigious boozer visited and became so drunk that he left behind his manuscript of Under Milk Wood on a bar stool!<br/>The pub located on Tenby’s cobbled Upper Frog Street was visited by Thomas, in 1953 when Mr. Ceslie Stock was the landlord. <br/>The poet called at the pub after giving a reading to the local art club an excerpt from his recently completed play for voices ‘Under Milk Wood’ - and the story goes that Thomas became so inebriated that when he finally staggered out of the inn, he left his only copy of the play’s manuscript on a seat in the bar!<br/>While Thomas visited Tenby, his enduring connection to the town was through his friendship with painter Augustus John, who he was close to throughout his life. <br/>John was responsible for introducing Thomas to his future wife Caitlin MacNamara in a London pub who, despite being involved with John at the time, quickly became enamoured with the poet and the pair started a passionate affair.<br/>One of Thomas’ final performances took place in the seaside town, was indeed when he turned up fashionably late to The Salad Bowl (a venue on The Croft that is now gone but has a blue plaque in its place) when Thomas delivered one of the only readings of Under Milk Wood. <br/>Sadly, there would be no opportunity for an encore since Thomas passed away in New York only five short weeks later. <br/>The Coach and Horses has long carried a mural on the side of its premises of distinctive Dylan Thomas, but now Lloyd the Graffiti who hails from Haverfordwest and whose body of work across the county is building and building - has given the drinking establishment and restaurant a fresh new version, and after finishing his latest creation, Lloyd stated: “Well that’s me ready for a Guinness!”<br/>")
_the-new-bmw-330e-touring-interior-design.webp "For almost 50 years now, the BMW 3 Series has represented the core of the BMW brand. It epitomises sporty driving pleasure in the premium midsize class and has made significant contributions to design, driving dynamics and technological innovations in this segment time and again across what is now seven model generations. The character of the current-generation BMW 3 Series has likewise provided a case study in unwavering progress at work. The extensive revisions already introduced for model year 2022 in the areas of design, powertrain, digitalisation and equipment will now be followed up with a fresh package of updates that take the cars’ visual appeal and cutting-edge modernity to new levels. New high-voltage batteries increase the electric range of the plug-in-hybrid models to a maximum 101 kilometres (63 miles) in the WLTP cycle. New chassis tuning further enhances the balance between sporting potency and comfort. And when it comes to digitalisation in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan and new BMW 3 Series Touring, BMW Operating System 8.5 provides the basis for extremely intuitive and comfortable operation – via the upgraded BMW iDrive with QuickSelect – and for extended navigation functions including Augmented View.<br/><br/>These new technological advances are accompanied by precise design modifications for the exterior and interior. New exterior paint finishes and light-alloy wheels accentuate the aura of sporting elegance radiated by the Sedan and Touring. In the interior, the newly designed steering wheels and instrument panel, plus sophisticated equipment features such as the CraftedClarity glass applications, deliver driving pleasure in an ambience of premium modernity.<br/><br/>The new BMW 3 Series Sedan and new BMW 3 Series Touring will be launched worldwide with a production phase-in in July 2024. Both models will be built at BMW Group Plant Munich. The BMW 3 Series Sedan will also be produced at BMW Group Plant San Luis Potosí in Mexico. The new BMW 3 Series Sedan for the Chinese market will be produced at the Tiexi plant in Shenyang operated by the joint venture BMW Brilliance Automotive (BBA).")
