Carbon Offset.....

Hi Mr B,
I hope you were not really burning him off, most of those people really like to see a big v8 just slowly wafting past them - you can even give them a quick wave if you fancy
If you really did try and burn him off, I very much hope you killed it or that rebuilt engine of yours has a problem !!
My car is not too bad (footprint wise) as I only do low mileage in it - that my excuse anyway - LOL.
Cheers
Steven

Engine going strong - checking the oil regularly and it doesn't seem to loosing nearly as much since it was done, so it's all good here!
As for the Prius - I did him no harm!
Trouble with Priuses is that their drivers don't make the best of them. They have come past me on the motorway at 85, what is the point of that? Probably barely twice as economical as the Monaro. I saw a bloke drop off is wife out side Sainsbury's. Could have gone to a parking space just on his battery but of course he went gunning off and the engine cut in. Priuses only make sense under limited circumstances.
I think the Monaro is relatively "green". I've paid HM government more than 10K in VAT and fuel duty for them to spend on the environment, schools and hospitals, foreign wars etc. Air travel and domestic energy carries virtually no tax at all. And as a specialist interest low volume car the Monaro is likely to have a long life. Its relative simplicity makes it easy to maintain. Had it all in bits already...

Even easier
From the UK government:
If every Briton purchased one item made from recycled wool a year it would save 371 million gallons of water, 480 tonnes of chemical dyes and 4571 million days of an average family's electricity needs [source: UK Gov]
Now 4571 million days equals 12 million years, so that would power 12 million families for one year, so if we all buy 2 items made of recycled wool a year, that saves enough energy for 24 million families, which is the approximate number in the UK.
If every year we all buy these two articles we have saved the UK's domestic electric output, year after year.
Thus solving the energy crisis.
