Neil Young's $1m LincVolt hybrid convertible breaks down on outing with girlfriend Daryl Hannah

However, on Monday the car refused to co-operate as its battery died.

Exiting the 20-foot car, Splash star Daryl bundled up against the chill in a white cardigan fingerless black gloves.

She wore green flared corduroy pants and pink, cats-eye sunglasses as she carried her bags.

The stranded pair called a group of friends to help, and four men were later seen pushing the car to the side of the parking lot, before the couple climbed into a pal's car and sped off.

Earlier this month, Neil posted a photo of his beloved LincVolt to social media with some details about its efficiency.

'55 miles per gallon on cellulosic ethanol,' the Cinnamon Girl singer wrote.

'86% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from lincvolts innovative generator.' He signed off: 'have a nice day neil.'

Neil Young and Daryl Hannah were left stranded by the side of the road when his $1 million, custom-built LincVolt hybrid broke down on Monday.

The couple were cruising along in the singer's famous 1959 LincVolt when the battery appeared to die, forcing them to pull over while out in Ventura County.

The pair called on friends to help and were later seen pushing the car - which Neil reportedly spent $1 million retrofitting to an electric hybrid - to the side of the road.

The unique car is a custom-built 1959 Lincoln Continental convertible which the Old Man singer retrofitted into a one-of-a-kind, fuel-efficient demonstration vehicle, in a bid to prove that Americans can have their big gas-guzzlers and still go green.

The 59-year-old singer and the 54-year-old actress have been dating for more than a year.

Both are committed environmental activists, and Neil also drove the LincVolt around the US to promote a greener lifestyle.

No doubt, but a lot is due to exercise and diet. She admits to some small cosmetic surgery, but quite little.

Actually electric motors get up to speed faster than gas engines, due to instant torque. With the right electric motor it could be very fast indeed. I was quite shocked to see how quickly they do get up to speed. For this heavy car I suspect it has electric motors at each wheel. With battery technology still not sufficient enough though, my guess it that it runs maybe 20 minutes top before needing a recharge,

In other words, nothing more than an expensive toy for the rich.

“Geez, she is only 54? My 57 year old wife makes her look 80!”

I’m the same age as she and I always thought she was pretty, way back when.

But, yes. My wife is 52 and looks a lot younger and better than Hannah (another abused victim of Kennedy men). Hannah looks a lot more than two years older.

I would go with a .030 over 460 with a 4” crankshaft. Add a good heavy duty overdrive auto loader and let the fun begin.
