Did you know penguins have mini desalination units in their heads to excrete salt from the water they drink :D
Kaneda:
Useless fact number 774 - The Toyota Prius is not very bullet proof, as demonstrated by Top Gear :)
..and another useless fact : According to findings women are evolving much faster than men, so much so they reckon in a few generations they will be able to conceive without males. Worrying!!!
davidlandy:
I know of acouple of people with priuses - and they do nowhere near the 50-60mpg as claimed.
The thing is nothing is for nothing - to use an engine to generate electricity to drive a motor could be wasteful, why bother , it must be far simpler to just connect the drive wheels to the engine direct rather than via a electric motor and batteries.
I see it all as a gimmick, and some people get drawn into the hype of it.
rather than buy a prius , buy a diesel - the eco ones will do 60mpg + with no strings attached.
Kaneda:
considering the load capacity and weight of the thing why not just buy a bicycle? Or, shudder, a Smart Car.

I suspect that doesn't exist, there will undoubtedly be some part of the process, or element of the construction that will be far from TOTALLY CN. Even if we found it then the minute you moved in - game over :)

Yep, ok Guys you know what I'm trying to say... If it helps as CN as you can get..
We are building a log cabin, we have own water suppy, electricity us by wind and solar when we can. heating by a Corn powered boiler, and yes we grow the corn. :lol:
So I guess its as good as you can get at the moment. :roll: :roll:
Anyone has any better ideas, post then here... :roll:
So back to the Puris... buy a VW Polo Blue Motion does 74 MPG. :lol:
