Who needs spring! summer is already here!! there is a positive side to global warming!(joke - before any PC types kick off!!)

I just hade really fun drive out in my Tiger through some beautiful roads the smell of BBQs, fields of rape seed and horsecrap on the road mmm.

seen quite alot of likeminded types out in Cobra reps, and followed a beautiful Vanwall replica back.

Lets hope for more days like this.

Yup, I "blast"ed away £20 of petrol today

they keep going on about global warming and cars causing too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but i think people breathing causes much more carbon dioxide, since 60 billion people breathe constantly...

still, i hope i can get myy car running ready for next summer

Well if cars are contributing to global warming I better not let anyone know I got less than 10 MPG out of my last fill up

Yes Global warming what a topic!

latest buzz word - "Carbon Footprint"! anyone ever seen one?

Why do they never mention all the greenhouse gases that come out of volcanos? Oh yeah thats right you can't Tax a volcano.

I agree lets all hold our breathe for a minute a day and reduce carbon emmissions.

10MPG when pressing the happy pedal!!

Well if we do suffer global warming I will start my own locost boatbuilders!! ha ha

never mind there was a time when britain had glaciers, it warmed up without any help from us burning fuels.

10mpg?! lol wonder what i'll get with my 3ltr V6?

saw of (yeah, i didn't actually watch it) a documentary on channel 4 about how global warming isn't actually anything we could have had an effect on. I saw bits of it

If you're worried about your carbon footprint whilst out blatting, do what I do, leave a low energy light on in the house!

's called offsetting I think

A carbon footprint is what you leave on the living room carpet when you didnt wipe your feet having been in the coalshed!
The reaction which the said footprint can set off can put any debate on global warming firmly in the shade

Plant some cabbages before you go out in the car and you can offset your emissions. Don't plant Brussels or you'll only cause more.

If, like most kit car builders you spent years putting your car together with an engine that didn't run in all that time just think how much co2 you DIDN'T use

Has be the most environmentally way to offset your weekly blat Mental being the best bit in enviromental?

Global warming is a fact, but its not us, our co2 output is directly related to the warm weather, ie. the warmer it is the more likely we are to get the car out. That way we are not contributing just keeping up a bit....

You could always hold your breath as you power out of the corner and help the planet out that way.

Good night.
