  1. I half agree oldman... there are only finite levels so yup we will have to make something synthetic... the issue is most of our synthetics are oil based or if they are nature based they tend to be in something living So i agree there is sufficient for the moment... (as long as the other big consumers understand the need to drop the 11mpg combined cycle guzzlers....).... however there is going to be a need for something and that need has a bigger picture with regards us expanding to cover this planet so quickly that we will run out of room at some point.... I often wonder if those scifi fut
  2. oh and there is a debate on at the moment rom electric manufacturers to make an artificial sound to make them safe in the city... I recall Lotus did something on tomorrows world once where you could feed the sound in through the car speakers relative to pedal position and speed etc so your fiesta sounded like a lambo... That may be worth finding and starting a petition on for the external sounds...

  4. So I was chatting and thinking...... As we move forwards in life everything is getting smaller... just to clarify before someone logs on after a friday night beer.... Engine size ;D I am sure I am not the only one who (no matter what the car) has a new zoerst and a panel filter even on their run arounds as a minimum.... So I noticed (for example) Ford are pushing there very small 1.2 litre 150BHP engines so you know it wont be long before the rest of the world follows...even Honda have to go turbo as emissions are to high on a VTEC ............ and to my point..... What 4 cylinder (or I sup

  9. I would do it another way TBH.... If I have 1k to spend log on ebay/PH/Autotrader etc and pop in your search criterias... You will be asounded what's out there... There are loadsa garages that specialise in this and of course there is always the auctions..... Not meaning to teach you to suck eggs.... then use your knowledge on what is a good car vs what is pants and limit your selection from there... For a winter hack you will be shocked at what is out there.... Already gone I am afraid but there was a A4 quattro saloon with 50k and they wanted 1200... Was silver with leather/climate/cruise e

  12. yup i agree... the finance company own it which is why a bank loan is always a better option.. IMO That said... I guess they are unaware of the change of owner ..I would suggest... and thus there is a deal to be had if you contact them as they original chap may have defaulted by selling the car...??????? So IF the car is all it can be then ask for the finance company details and have a chat.. Deals to be had as they just want money and chances are as they have already made money on it,,, they will settle.. Rule 1: You dont ask you dont get!!!!
