    Running on Biodiesel

    I noticed that in Oxford a small outlet has started selling 100% biodiesel that apparently conforms to the new German standard. (I forget the number). To my mind bio-fuels are a no-brainer:- -almost no carbon dioxide emmissions -no dependency on foreign oil -provides agriculture a much...

    V6 Smart Roadster

    I was just reading about the V6 Smart Roadster, sounds like a cracking car. They have taken two of the triples and glued them together to make a 1.4 litre V6 turbo engine, weighing 92kg, and shoved it into the Smart Roadster. The engine develops 171bhp, and the car weights 840kg. That is a...

    Yay! I got my new car

    It arrived today! The brand new Mercedes C Class Sports Coupe to replace the ageing '94 SL280. And I am very impressed! Technology has come a long long way in 9 years, the on-board computer seems to have endless functionality, and thats even before one starts playing with COMAND, which is...

    Hmm not convinced by George Fraser

    Having taken my car in on the 20th June they seem to hold the car for serveral days, basically until the 28th June after which they had seemed to have done none of the work. I am slightly dissapointed by the lack of information available, and I was told someone would ring me back serveral...
