Global warming is arse!  Cows produce more CO2 than cars by farting  :laugh:.  You only have to listen to the weather men/news readers.  "The worst floods for more than 50years" they say, which means there were worse floods before that date when there were a lot less cars/aircraft around.   :wink:

Its climate change alright but it cant just be blamed on cars causing global warming :undecided:

to go even further off topic. 

hows about the tsunami fund give us back some of our money? to help sort our country out seen as they aren't spending it?  they apparently have about £250 mil that they haven't used in 2 years and we've got floods here, charity begins at home.

did you see that program a couple of months back about the great global warming scam? was on Channel 4.

They bang on about how its this hot since records began etc but if you look at the life cycle of the Earth we are actually in a cooler period!! Plus i think the program mentioned its cooler now than it was in the 1940's  :shocked:

I've only driven 900km so far. Lots of serpentines in Swiss Alps, some city driving, and some agressive driving on highways 120-140km/h, highest so far 176km/h. My comp shows about 26mpg. I think they put 95 at the dealers, but now I run on 98, will start with Shell V-Power from the next stop at the filling station.

Rhyso, you can join Ridge with Satan.

Amen to all anti-global warming brothers out there.

Out of interest, what's the yearly tax on the 1.8T?
