I am hoping that the good people of Glasgow east will do the right thing and overturn the 13K lab majority. GB could not survive that.

Then incentivise the electric cars by all means but FFS don't penalise the petrolheads.Originally posted by pisces View PostI hate GB as much as anyone here but we need to start looking at alternative energy.
Where I live, I've been snowed in 2 times in 4 years. I'd love to see an electric car have the torque to get me out. I'd probably get down the driveway and then need to recharge.
Nice one cyclops.

He really is an old fashioned 'meddler' politician who thinks he can legislate on every aspect of our lives.Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostAfter drunkenly feeling sorry for him the other day, I'm now convinced he's purposely trying to make himself the most unpopular prime minister ever.
The car tax thing, this is his way of getting his backbenchers to approve road pricing. If he threatens them with something that will lose them their seats (£200 on road tax) then they will acquiesce when he 'falls back' to the idea of Road Pricing, which is what he wants to do all along.Cooking doesn't get tougher than this.Comment

Same answer as for Chugnut torquing his way through the snow: it's not a question of how you do it, you should not do it at all. It is wrong to do a motorway commute, you should live close to work. Just ask the taxman.Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostShow me an alternative as efficient as my modern 55mpg diesel on the motorway commute I do every day and I'll consider it.Comment

Have you actually had your one done yet? If so, happy with it?Originally posted by Churchill View PostA Range Rover 4.2 SC fitted with LPG It'll do more per fiver than your diesel. More fun too.
Interestingly, Subaru now sell a new Legacy with factory fitted LPG, all warranty approved. Smart move, and the car's a good 'un too.Comment
