    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        The 70's has never really left has it? Up until less than a year ago my daily was a 70's VW Bay van.

        I fookin love the 70's!

          Is it really an entirely bad thing if Vauxhall/Opel go bust?

                No-one has even considered the best aspect of the 70s....

                ... you don't have to worry about the growth of hair and facial hair and can still look very cool...
                I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                  The fastest street legal car in the world is a 70's Vauxhall Victor.

                    I'm not a Vauxhall fan but they did come up with some decent metal back in the day.

                      Ah yes... those were the days...... One of my early cars was a (horrible light green) Vauxhall Cavalier.....
                      It was truly tulip except in the wet* when the back end slid and skittered all over the road at the lightest touch of the gas...... On a showery day I used to scream and slide round town "pretending" I was Jack Regan.......

                      * It was tulip in the wet - but I was young!!
