I’m Only Doing It For The Earth

Eco Cars Named And Shamed
A new report today exposes the real green cars - and there’s not a hybrid in sight in the top 10, according to researchers at Cardiff University.
Conventionally engined superminis dominate the top ranks. The scientists gave half their score based on each cars’ emissions of CO2, NOx and other pollutants; the other half of the score was calculated from vehicles’ construction, energy costs, recyclability and size. The higher the score, the cleaner the car:
• 1st Smart Roadster - 66.2 points
• 2nd Smart Fortwo Cabriolet - 59.8
• 3rd Citroen C1 1.0 - 40.1
• 4th Peugeot 107 1.0 - 38.6
• 5th Citroen C1 1.4 HDI - 31.3
Oh yes…

Where the hell’s the 3.9 litre V8 Discovery in that list? I think the magazine must have made a misprint.
Anyhow… I know you’re not really doing it for the eco-points…. It’s just like Jeremy said in the TopGear clip you linked to:
“It’s a bit of automotive jewellery, a trinket”
Yep… it’s because you’re an old tart!

Hello Ben,
Yes I remember you… Glad to hear you’re still playing football.
I’m having a good time in Essex, trying to do as much relaxing as possible.
Have fun!
