Cold fusion - let's hope the South Koreans figure it out by Christmas so we can all have free electricity for our electric cars by then. :D

"The consequences
I feel sick and bloated. I can still smell it in my flat, nine hours later. I’ve got two new spots on my face and a craving for apples. It’s a wrap.
Guilt factor rating
10/10"

You'd think but I'm only doing short journeys to work, etc, so it's eating it up nicely in my Insignia.

electricity (hybrid) cars FTW :D!

we should stop using all the oil in our power stations. plenty of alternatives that are renewable and not rising in prices at a dizzying rate :+1

I am astonished and in love... where do I get one of these? in fact... it would be possible to make one of these from the various components without too much messin about right? I'd love to do that as a build :drool:

my first car was a Nova :D 1 litre, but there was something incredibly nippy about it LOL

It is not good as it increases the prices of everything else but... people should use their bikes or get one for short journeys. I for one can't wait to the day people will be forced to either walk or bike to go to work/school whatever...

It will make the world a cleaner, nicer and quieter place to live anyway.

courtney sports would be a good place to ask


the major cost is the 4wd an teh second engine think the total cost of teh car was around £20k
