    Some facts for tree hugging carbon hippies

    Not only is that downright WRONG even as a statement of the US's position on Kyoto but its also the most ignorant and retarded comment I've heard in years. You don't have a bloody clue what you're talking about do you? Let alone know anything the nuances of American politics? So why get...

    Some facts for tree hugging carbon hippies

    I don't agree with Bush's reasoning at all - that man has the IQ, intelligence and reasoning of a mentally retarded chimpanzee. Do you really believe the utter nonsense and propaganda produced by the Bush administration? God help you if you do.

    Some facts for tree hugging carbon hippies

    The US also has something like 5% of the world population but produces 25% of the world's total pollution which is HUGE for just one country. And of course, they've rejected all attempts to sign up to the Kyoto treaty. The UK could make it mandatory for the particulate filters to be fitted on...

    The best car of 2006?

    But its a fair question by the OP. Just because not many people on the forums has bought or driven a car released in 2006 doesn't mean the original question isn't a fair one or that he isn't entitled to ask the question. Your annoyance is more with people who say car X is great when they've...

    The best car of 2006?

    Not really. It doesn't make sense to talk about a car that was released in say 1998 being the best car in 2006. Actually, I don't agree with that. The 156 was decent car in its sector when it was released and pulled sales away from the likes of the 3 and A4. The 147 is a massively underated...

    The best car of 2006?

    It drives like a dog. Actually, thats a bit harsh but no way does it drive anywhere near what you'd expect a £25k to drive like.

    Bought me a new car!

    I have to admit that I have an immense dislike of diesels because of their narrow power bands and non-linear torque curves but of its type, that JTD engine is pretty decent. I drove the 147 JTD a couple of months back at the Alfa test day, and it not bad. I'd still take the 2.0TS over the JTD...

    alfa review 5 months on

    What are those seats like on long journeys? Comfortable or too soft / not enough support? Do they hold you in around corners or do you slide about in them?

    Review of my Lexus GS430

    Not my type of car, but it does sound like a very good continent crushing mode of transport with top notch build and in all likelihood, clockwork reliability. Can't remember what magazine it was - might have been Autocar - but the writer was saying that the Yokos produced a lot more road...

    Should I buy my dad's car?

    You wouldn't think it but Mazda garages can be expensive places to service cars, both in terms of hourly rates and parts. Depending on the particular car, a new cat with lambda sensors could cost the best part of £1,000 for parts and fitting. A steering rack £700-£800 and so on and so on. You go...

    Is fifth gear worth watching anymore?

    I love Fifth Gear - I think its miles better than Top Gear which has become a parody of itself. Love VBH to bits :cool:

    Peugeot 205 CTI, girly or a fun classic?

    You're not asking about model revisions, you're not asking about power outputs (in fact, you say you don't care), you're not asking about mechanicals....you're more concerned about whether you would be seen as a bit 'girly' buying a convertible. If you want a convertible go and buy a...

    Peugeot 205 CTI, girly or a fun classic?

    Oh FFS, stop being so dependent on other people's opinions. If everyone tells you that a pink Skoda Favorit is the car to the buy, drive and be seen in, are you going to go out and buy a bucket load of them? All this external validation and all this 'I'll only do something if 10 people tell me...
