Jehovas Witnesses are not allowed sports cars. Cars should be suitable for transporting other JWs to events and to areas for knocking on doors.
Yeah that's not actually true.

My local Vicar owns a number of Austin Sevens and is a complete Austin Seven nut (he was a mechanical engineer in his previous life).

I dabble a bit with Christianity. I am not "committed" but enjoy the company of many of my Christian friends. Some of whom I have lots in common with (interest in science, technology etc) and some who are just nice people.

They only ever travel in pairs so I can't see the problem with a small two seater. What's their view on Smart cars?

Jehovah's witnesses are encouraged to live within there means, and not to pursue a lifestyle that would be a distraction from being one. So they can choose to own whatever they can afford weather a smart car or a Porsche.

It does, but you could say the same about Thomas the Tank Engine smile

A Holy Trinity Bike - good idea. I wonder would it sell?

We all know God drives a Triumph Herald as in "Hark the HERALD angels sing" and "Join the TRIUMPH in the skies".

I was wondering out of all the population of PH are there any Christians who are both follows of Christ and lovers of cars?? I work for a church in London but Christians who are seriously into cars are a rare find. If you are the above please post, maybe we could arrange a meet
Why can't you meet people who are Muslim or atheists and chat about cars?

I think that is all well and good and I hope the topic doesn't descend into bickering and abuse. Good luck with that.

When you say things like: "Must be something in it do you not think?"
You can expect people to say "no", and more.

They are not allowed to do oil changes though.
