Do you remember the advertisement on the telly years ago for surf or bold washing powder?
Surf now so clean it makes yur whites look bluey white .....
Then bold said our washing powder is even bluey white more than our competitors (surf)....and they had a ma an a kid dressed in blue clothes that wer nearly white and they
Said blue white was white er than real white ......

Well that's cleaner burning  diesel engines.......its all horse shite......diesel is an oil and no matter wat ya do it's going have shite coming out the exhaust......that why they started fiddling wit the software emissions testing .....
Another load of shite is green hybred and blue engine's......all suggesting forests of trees and blue oceans and lovely tings ....if yu want to go green .......buy a horse off thee travellers

You could have done with an Air Freshner or two !

Any idea where I might get some used ashtray flavoured ones?

Had a go in an Audi e-tron the other day... never driven anything like it, fully electric and 0-120 in an instant, like flicking a switch... shame it retails for 6 figures.

They're lovely...even the humble Leaf would leave most Golf GTIs behind at the lights.I'm surprised insurance companies haven't started to load them more.

Some motor alright... you feel like you're sat still while cruising along at 60 kilos per hour. I'm a pretty conservative driver these days but I have to admit feeling the temptation to floor it!

Obviously this case is legit but I see they argued that they could not hear the electric car and got no warnings......
A fact I'm sure the scammers out ther will take note of

Would the accident have happened if the car had a petrol/diesel engine.....probably....it was the responsibility of the driver to drive with due care especially in car parks but saying that as a parent i've always had control of my kids when they were small especially in car parks...cos there's generally cars there.
