Surely if the brain dead cretin wants to make cars weight less it would make sense to legislate directly on the weight of cars. That at least might drive technology forward. It would also probably make them more fun to drive.

Perhaps banning all MEPs from producing any CO2 would be a good start, they should lead by example surely.

How unusual!! A Lib Dem MP showing a complete misunderstanding of what he's talking about...

[corozin]

From the statements he's made, he's clearly doesn't have a clue. Indeed he couldn't even *buy* a clue.

Stupid LibDem plank.

do you know that guy might be doing totally the right thing (all be it for totally the wrong reasons) Imagine if manufacturers started making lightweight quick little chuckable cars again it would be great!

Bike engine (under 1.0 litre, so the greens will be happy), 450 kg (so the greens will be happy), but with a diff ratio to give a top speed of 100mph but acceleration like a bullet from a gun

there is a way out maybe...

As I have said on a previous thread, he works for us so ring him or his office up and let him know how misguided he is on these matters. His number
is easy to find on google.
