  1. Well to an extent, but studies have shown that motorists are slowing down and driving slower to save fuel. Sooner or later we'll hit breaking point. People simply can't do without cars.
  2. We've just broken this story in the last few minutes. Another 10p per litre by April 1 Well the Government is going to have to do something sooner or later... isn't it?
  3. No worries, and for the record I am VERY bloody jealous.
  4. I'd suggest an e-mail to these people: contact Keith Blatz at 819.425.5700 or [email protected] http://www.lecircuit.com/drive.cfm
  5. There's a good one at Mt Tremblant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_Mont-Tremblant I used to live in Tremblant and it's a fantastic part of the world. I'd still be there if I wasn't such an idiot
  6. I know what the different types of paint are You said 'flavour of the month' paint which to me says matte, satin, flip, pearl, anything out of the ordinary.
  7. It's not a flip paint, more of a pearl IMHO. It's still the type of paintwork you were talking about though
  8. Yes, stock options. The Mini was available with the same flip paint you talk about on the TVRs. You can specify Giallo Tristrata paint on the new Ferrari 458 as a £12,800 option.
  9. Mini, MG, Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW...
  10. Which licence did you get? The sprint/hillclimb one?
  11. Take the Youtube link: Copy the bit after v= Put it inbetween tags, with a /youtube for the second tag. Job done 3ddOINBjUWw
  12. Your trousers clash with your car In all seriousness though I really like that colour. Good work. I'd advise you paint the bonnet though rather than leave it carbon. It'll look much better.
  13. Them badgers are a menace.
  14. A272 - all of it! If you hit it in an evening or early morning it's one of the best driving roads in the country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A272_road Also, the B660 near here is pretty epic.
  15. No problem, just changed your title a bit to reflect that
  16. Yes, pretty much like that. Obviously it's a bit pie-in-the-sky now but the technology is getting there. I think your box is essentially what we're moving towards, and that sounds so wrong I think I need to wash my hands.
  17. Electrically powered cars aren't a solution and never have been. However, cars are a transport reality and something had to be done to begin lowering CO2 and preserve fossil fuels in the shorter term. New or hyper-efficient electricity generation methods will eventually be developed, as will alternative methods of propulsion for cars. Here's another interesting thing to think about: how about you drive your car all day, and when you park it up you plug it into your house and it powers your house, making you all-but independent of the national grid? You might even pump energy back into the grip for government remuneration. I believe this technology will surface soon, and it'll represent another huge change in how people use their cars.
  18. Pretty much every supermarket will have quick-charge points soon. We have two at work right now (I don't work at a supermarket though )
  19. Company car drivers will see the biggest benefit. No company car tax at all.
