Next it'll be petrol cars again.

Then electric cars (because the electricity comes from dirty power stations)

Then electricity

Then we'll all have to go back to living in caves but at least we'll live hundreds of years because everyone was so much healthier before the invention of all these infernal modern machines. (Except they weren't, but we'll gloss over that for the sake of the tree hugging hippies)

Of course, this isn't an issue with fumes from 2 stroke moped engines on the warmer days ::)

...nope, not mine. Or several others with lpg on here. Yet it gets no concession on road tax to speak of, as the engine is too big. :(

I'll show that to my wife. All I get from her is "turn that thing off, it stinks" when I fire up the Moto X bike.   ;D (is that xmas smiley laughing or snarling, I can't tell)
