    The Sexy Green Car Show 2008-Eden Project

    We printed the flyers for this year's Sexy Green Car Show at the Eden Project just the other day and it's looking very tempting. After missing last year's show due to laziness i'm definately going this year as the Eden Project is about 3 miles from me. One of the main attractions will be the first UK appearance of the Morgan Lifecar aswell as several other top manufacturer's new Eco-friendly models. The show runs from the 23rd to the 30th of May and includes various exhibit's and attractions aswell as fun and games for the younger punters.

    Last year's show included a Biodiesel powered Lola Le Mans racer, several ethanol-hybrid Saabs, VW's Bluemotion Polo, a Ford Model T that runs on Biodeiesel aswell as many others. For any other info about last year's show ask Tom (Waugh-terfall) he went last year and i'm sure he'll fill you in on the details.

    So hopefully i shall see some of you there.

    And what is interesting is that producing bioethanol is more polluting then if we just keep running 'classic' engines... So why actually shout that it's green?

    i actually can't believe I was there a year ago! Are GM not present this year with Frankenstien's Zafira?

    The (i think hydrogen) Zafira all cut up was there last yar along side the new Corsa 1.3CDTi which was a good job to get me out of, the ethanol powered Focus CC and what he said. Although I can't remember much about the Lola and I didn't really pay much attention to the Model T

    Because it's a great excuse to get more power out of engines if they're tuned for it..

    But it´s causing some really worrying problems in the cereal market!!!
    Poorer countries are running out food due to rising cost of cereals
    A major rethink of the use of cereals or their market rules is needed, urgently!!

    bring on hydrogen and electric cars
