PH...the future...
Discussion
I found myself wondering about the future of the internal combustion engine in the motor vehicle today, which led me to consider the future of the website named after the love of said object.I have two questions, the second dependent on the first.
1. Should the ICE cease to exist in cars, ought PH to continue on as:
a) a website dedicated to the celebration of its time on Earth, and thus a historic/classic vehicle site of sorts, or
b) a website that continue to embrace the personal transport that is the car, whatever it may be powered by (maybe with a sub-section dedicated to the ICE?).
If you answered a) to Q1 then Q2 is void, otherwise:
2. What should PH's new name be? For example, should fuel cells dominate: HydrogenHeads; batteries: VoltHeads (ok, I'm struggling there
), or what if more than one technology co-exist happily?Over to you!

PS: I should proably point out that I'm not a mole put here by PH to do a swift survey, I really was just wondering!
Hatefilledrantyheads should just about cover it.
Failing that theres always ihave2kwhatcarshouldibuyheads, mx5heads.
Or if you want to go the whole hog theres *Deep intake of breath* RantyPieParkingTicketMX5whatcarBloodyPotholesShineyNewConceptCarNoVWsAllowedIhatePoliceIlovePoliceBloodyHippiesLookAtMyNewCurtainsHeads. Catchy, I'm going to register the domain now so i can sell it off and become a millionaire in 20 years time.

It'll be a long time before the ICE disappears.
At the moment it's top of the governments hitlist - they can get the shrill middle class sheep following the "environment" line and can use it to mulct huge amounts of money from us.
At some point the use of petrol will decline to the point where it's not worth it for them anymore - ICE cars will drop off the radar, leaving them in the hands of enthusiasts.
That's what I reckon will happen.

Indeed. I dearly hope it never disappears altogether! That would be a sad sad day. But should it get to the point where the ICE powers only a small percentage of cars on the road, or perhaps it is not possible to buy a new ICE car, what direction would users like to see PH take? I'm all for new technologies, so I hope that both can live harmoniously on the site as the currently do...At the moment it's top of the governments hitlist - they can get the shrill middle class sheep following the "environment" line and can use it to mulct huge amounts of money from us.
