The supercharged one looks standard from outside, like a little sleeper.

Yeah its fascinating...I just lack the knowledge that Coldel and Davey have to participate in the discussion. But am enjoying reading it. I too don't believe the earth is flat.

I used to really like his column is the Sun on Saturday when work provided it, and his books are perfect sat on the throne reading material with their short chapters. My SO hates Hammond the most on TV. I think May the best TV personality, similar to Edd China with his hands on approach.

I agree, he is no longer an Automotive Journalist, but a TV entertainer on a car show.

Incidentally I had on 06 911 in for mot today, less miles and more corrosion than my zed of the same year.

Didn't Clarkson slate the 350z?

Found this, its fascinating: The light-year is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances. It is about 9.5 trillion kilometres or 5.9 trillion miles. As defined by the International Astronomical Union, a light-year is the distance that light travels in vacuum in one Julian year. Because it includes the word "year", the term light-year is sometimes misinterpreted as a unit of time. Which led me to this: Yes, there are many stars in the night sky we see that don't exist right now. Light travels extremely fast, at 300 million miles per hour, but even at that speed it may take many thousands or millions of years for it to travel and reach far places. For example, light from our Sun takes 8 minutes to reach Earth.

What you posted is fine and not poking the fire, just questing for info.

My SO wanted the GT86 instead of the Zed, the Zed was the compromise. I think the right DC5 would be worth the trip to purchase. You can always do what AttackZ did and get a local member to have look and take some pictures if it gets that far.

I wondered that too, but I think the majority of what gas is given out is hyrdrogen, usually after a rocket launch the H bonds with the O2 in the upper atmosphere and it starts raining. But there is still the sourcing of materials to build, transport, the extraction of the fuel in the 1st place etc etc. I'm not sure if I made it up or read it somewhere, but I think Tesla cars are supposed to offset the rocket.

Speaking of voyager, there is a Meme of the ST:Voyager crew standing around the roadster with the caption: Remember the time the voyager crew found a car floating in space

If I had to buy my own car to commute in, i'd get a leaf or something myself. I quite like the Lexus CT hybrid too though.

GZ, I admire your passion for EV's, and although they don't excite me like a noisey fossil burner, I can see a place for them, and as a commuter I'd have one. If you don't mind me asking how long ago did you own a Zed? It's not a dig so please don't think it, just curiosity, after all your not the only one that came for the car and stayed for the awesome people.

My apologies, it wad rickdon.

I think it was you that started the thread...

I also considered suggesting a Dukes of Hazzard approach to entry. I'd like to see it in the flesh if you ever go to the northern-ish version of the ace cafe in it.

Do you think they've relied too heavily on people being huge geeks and made it harder to follow and less accessible? Because I can totally see that.

Sounds like a good plan.

What IS the next phase of space x? Is it to get something to mars under power rather than momentum? If the roadster has been left in orbit what if another satellite hits it... we saw what hastened 6 when Hammond crashed his electric car.

Oh god yeah...my poor poor wife

I had a k reg corsa SRI when i was 20 .

I wish we started using this image when threads are locked through sales...etc

Damn you kids and your sports cars . 33 before I got mine. A Celica Tsport was about as sporty as I got before this...but I got married and had kids so i guess that's why.

Yup, and I only realised my foolishness after I posted it...interestingly it wasn't in Oxford English. Fortunately I don't take anything seriously, least of all myself, so was able to have a good old laugh at it.
