Efficient cars

[NOMONEYBUTAMERC]

A relative told me that my car was not at all environmentally friendly , and I was being selfish driving a v8. I agreed with him , then asked when he was next flying out to his holiday home in the Loire valley. Suddenly went verrry quiet. I rarely fly anywhere these days and use a 1.6tdci for work , so do not feel guilty at driving 2000 miles a year in the SL.

The best piece I read in Classic and Sports Car this month was regarding the Citroen 2 CV. The greens caught onto it, despite it being one of the dirtiest engines every produced.

The irony.

Thats fine for you sunny England, us in Scotland, there ain't no sunshine....

They don't actually need direct sunlight Steve, though it would be advantageous.

I think he meant is that the government do pay for solar panels to be installed into peoples homes.

I for once endorse this, if the government wants to put its money where its mouth is go ahead.

Scotland only receives 75% of the insolation in SW England though
