The Trouble With..

[clocker]

Bravo Rat & Biggles!

The Series 1 XK-E is still the most beautiful and sexiest mass produced car ever,IMHO. It really didn't matter if the damn thing crapped out all the time ( at least mine did...), cause you still looked good just sitting on the side of the road.

A very close second ( and a definate first in performance terms, probably give that TVR a pretty good run...)...

I'll bet that even Ralph Nader wants one of these.

Ralph Nader didn't even own a car most of his life. So I doubt he would.


But well we're at it, I want this, almost nothing can take this:

A little old 300km per hour Bentley GT Coupe will do me thanks.

OK...

Now the decision:

To the lounge and post those beautiful cars for the next week...or get back on topic....

I leave the decision to you gentlemen, with the next few posts....




My appologise noob....my fault

[Biggles]

Err ok.

So laying aside dreams of owning environmetally unsound testosterone supplements (such sweet sweet dreams they are too), exactly what are the anticipated practical oil reserves?

How long before we are all driving hyrdogen cars and we leave things like SUVs behind us, regarding them as much a design abberation as a 70s suit?

That ok Rat Face?

I saw a documentary recently, in which the most optimistic view was about 15-20 years (shell oil) ........ on the assumption that increase of demand continues to rise at same level, and discovery of new fields continues to drop at the same level.

ilw saw something that said nearer 50 years i believe....

[Biggles]

15 to 20 years? Not much point in buying a new Volvo then - they can last well past that.

What will a Tuscan do on hydrogen? I suspect once the oil runs out we will find out that the alternatives are actually even more efficient - if less profitable for the big energy companies. Or do I just have a suspicious mind?
