lambert:
or rather a suggestion.

sports cars.

how come they don't get the kicking off-roaders do from the green ecomentalist brigade?

other than to go silly fast they have no point.

unlike our steeds which can do lots of important stuff like save lives, earn livings and tow stuff.

and yet they are, on the whole, no more ecconomical.

so in future deflect the attention of the ecowarrior towards the frivolous and wholly un-usefull sportscar. :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Silvery Thing:
My previous car was a Nissan 350Z and that never attracted daft eco comments despite having a 3500cc engine. When a work colleague saw my Land Cruiser he said it did nothing for the ozone or my carbon footprint.... I put him right in that my present car has a smaller engine and burns less fuel.

There are some very mis-informed people around :?

clbarclay:
Oh thats great, why not lets go and mess up the one automotive industry this country is good at [-X (which employ a large number of british citizens) but then we brits were never any good at looking after and supporting each other.

Some sports cars are much worse than others (very much like 4x4s), but if driven sensibly then a some of them are just as econmical as a lot of ordinary cars if not potentially more so.

Either way live and let live


Ps Buy british beef, buy british lamb and buy british cars

dazliss:
Ok not a true sports car but I once had a 206 GTi. It returned 26 MPG. The 206 GTi 180 returns 23 MPG

My TD5 Disco, 30 mpg..go figure!!!!!

But its my 4x4 thats destroying the planet :?:  :?

screwy:
How about not attacking other car owners and rather more attacking the whole ludicrousmother-earth-gia crap instead? Global warming is a myth and those who shout loudest are usually the largest hypocrytes jetting off here there and everywhere, driving bloody Prius's when they could walk, etc.

Environmentalism....... :roll:  :x
