LOL no I was having a moment of pleasantry and helpfulness. Will it last...?

Yes I'm sitting here shitting myself as we speak. If a black hole opened up in say, Basingstoke, you wouldn't be any the wiser. I wouldn't worry, you'll probably get sucked off into another dimension anyway. Doesn't sound so bad now does it?

Which was why I gave you the title you don't need to know much more than that.

but it's all so interesting. PLM.

Title: The Ferrari And The Hot Blonde Speaks for itself

Hey! She has a normal sized head! Are you OK Marc?

Round corners he'll eat you alive if he can drive but in a drag race you should have him.

Do you have pics? I've got a bigger rad and FMIC and my viscous fan still fits and works perfectly, with the whole cowling in place. You won't get an aftermarket fan kit that will flow as much air as the stock one.

Not technically - it was a pigeon this time. Amazing how hard they are at high speed. My mate ran me over the other day in the dogcar though and I broke the screen on that, mainly with my spine. So I'm still nice and capable!

I'm interesting!!! PLM mates.

Cheers fella

As above, one rear view mirror wanted since the RAC replaced my screen and broke my existing one. Will need it ASAP, cash waiting.

£9.3k for a '93 Good luck with that one! It hasn't even got any serious engine work. I'd give him £5k if I was feeling very generous.

In my opinion, knowing several people who have done the same thing I'd say you would be silly not to take it mate. Make the most of all that oil money while it lasts

But when electricity is abound and oil is going to run out, isn't that a good way of shifting the pattern of economic downturn with regards to rising oil prices? If the electricity could be created economically then there is no reason for the price to rise as dramatically as the price of oil has recently. It seems according to this link that the lithium ion batteries are recycleable and a lot of work has gone into making centres for doing just that. If the batteries were only available through one source and said source controlled the recycling of them then I can't see how it would be more harmful to the environment than using an internal combustion engine. I mean they chose to fit the same kinds of batteries to several million laptops without worrying about disposal so what's different here? Again we come back to the concept of the mobile phone network subscription techniques - renting the battery from one subsidised firm who retain ownership during the lifecycle of the unit - which is what really makes this idea viable.

The Corvette? Fair point but the GTR is years ahead in terms of how the power is put down. Horses for courses IMO

Ah OK I see where you've gone with that... well it was just an example of technology that the Danish are actually using to kick this project off. I've got no idea about the theories you suggest, all this big red button stuff amuses me though The angle I've been looking at this from is certainly not to do with removal of all cars! That would make me a hypocrite of the highest order. Switching away from oil is the idea, not getting rid of cars. So you think that the batteries will cause more harm to the environment than an internal combustion engine will over the course of its life? Can you back that up with fact?

That's actually the point, using all the power that is wasted using wind power as we currently do to power the cars.

I'm watching this with interest, should be a lovely car when it's done. Unique too. Are you not tempted with the TT conversion?

It certainly does. Or hippies taking handbags

No it's humble, "in my humble opinion" HTH

Did you read the whole article? Your statements are addressed in it. How can moving away from a reliability on oil make the world worse?

The idea is to subscribe to a setup so you can just "fill up" anywhere, including your home. The voltage available at your home means you'll only be able to do a slow charge, say around 14 hours but a filling station will actually swap out the battery if you don't have time to wait. In principle, although technology isn't there just yet. The Telsa roadster is based on the Elise but works out to be 350kg heavier, even using CF panels to try and keep weight down.

High!
