    Hello there!! I'm having a bit of a resource crisis and have come over here to ask a question. My girlfriend is looking at buying a 54reg Fiat Stilo 1.9tdi. But (apparently) the garage took the car out for a spin and ran it out of diesel. So they have taken it to a garage to sort it out. But...

    Now THIS is my kind of neighbourhood!

    Was just about to put mine in the garage when I spotted this photo opportunity... I'm thinking of press-ganging the rest of the residents into buying FR's and then getting the council to rename our street to "Avénue de Léon" What do you think? :D

  12. This kind of all-embracing enviro-crap is dangerous

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6990446.stm [:@][:@][:@] The upshot of the piece is that the car tested produced 30% more CO2 cruising at 80mph instead of 70mph. That's fine for that specific car, under those specific conditions ... but not for all cars. E.g. my PD with 6-speed box is...
