Gordon, **** off. Seriously.

Have you actually had your one done yet? If so, happy with it?

Interestingly, Subaru now sell a new Legacy with factory fitted LPG, all warranty approved. Smart move, and the car's a good 'un too.

It's booked in for middle of August, they need the car for a week...

I've driven a couple and climbed all over the engine bay, not worried in the slightest. Power is 80% of petrol but when you've go ~400bhp it doesn't really matter.

Cue "tay"...

It does when the car weighs 5 tonnes.

3, but that doesn't include the driver...

He was doing so well until he got to the bit about new cars producing less than 100g co2/km.

Totally unrealistic...

Not if you remove the Catalytic Converter it ain't...

At the risk of stating the obvious, tool-face Brown omits to mention that he's only moving the carbon emissions to the power station - what's the point of that?

On a point of order - electric cars have lots of torque.

I can't wait for electric cars to get down to the family saloon level. But taxing petrol guzzlers when the electric alternatives don't exist yet is ludicrous. We can't control the design/production facilities of car manufacturers - why don't the govt tax every oil producing car manufactured, and use it to subsidise the manufacture of electrics?*


*apparently there's not enough Lithium around to manufacture batteries to replace every car in the world anyway

[TheBigYinJames]

There's plenty in all those redundant nukes... you just have to separate the lithium from the deuterium...

And then bang it together really hard.

[NotAllThere]

And then bang it together really hard.

Once it's separated you have to bang it a lot harder.
