Reply to: The Air Car - will it succeed, or is it a lot of hot air?

Hmmmm....

Cars used to produce carbon monoxide - not a greenhouse gas.
Cars now have a catalytic converter and produce carbon dioxide - a greenhouse gas!

Go figure...

Wouldn't suprise me if it's a symptom of the kind of joined up thinking our government does, when they struggle to do joined up writing most of the time.

So the solution is easy. De-cat your car, and put it back on for the MOT!

The problems with carbon monoxide and fatalities will also help alleviate the overcrowding issues.

Does compressed air have to be clean? May be one way of vacuuming up all the bad air, so long as there's a filter in the car to clean it before releasing back into general circulation.


Nice etch-a-sketch avatar btw. Can you do me one of the sistine chapel? Thanks in advance.

And then charge everyone for using up London's clean air

Sounds like a great idea - maybe Ken will get some busses to run on air, too!

Or Global Thermonuclear War?

No can do. Only the yanks get that optional extra.

Try "Mornington Crescent"...

I did, but it took me to the local Subway instead. What a load of meat balls, in a lightly toasted baguette, topped with cheese.

I quite like the checkered look, particularly when I fancy a game of noughts and crosses on the M6 car park. Damn satnav keeps beating me though, always one step ahead no matter what I do. Maybe I should ask if it fancies a nice game of chess instead.

As opposed to the seats in the classless/classy VW Golf GTI??

Yeah, use a petrol powered air re-compressor... I can see it now...

I was thinking more along the lines of a supercharger, but then I ignore the laws of physics by being able to stand still on an object spinning at 1000 miles per hour.

I almost bought a Focus ST until I saw it only came in varying degrees of chavdom, unless you shell out more for the ST3 with leather. Are Ford taking the piss by putting those awful seats in the ST1 and 2, or do they just know their target market very well?

We forgive you.

As regarding the car, what would be more impressive is if they somehow managed to recompress the air as it left the engine so it was self powering.

I mean't the car and engine

so simple

wow that is impressive

Thanks. I blame school for forcing GCSE English on me. They gave me an English teacher that wore tight skirts and kept dropping the chalk. I was never late for one of her lessons!
