Omega versus Kia (Yuk Yuk)
« on: 02 April 2009, 22:35:54 »
Today i had man in a very 'norman type' Jacket challenge me abut the envionmental justification of my car. He had an x reg Kia something people carrier (yuk yuk ). He told me how much I was killing the environment whereas his thing was not (diesel, tacky, yukky thing). What do you think ?????? Personally I think he can keep his yuk Kia thing and I will keep enjoying my loved Omega.  ;) ;)

P.S. He also wore massive specticles ( I wear glasses so no probs there) that only a biker should wear, but when I asked him about his motorbike I discovered he hates these too. We ended with comments from me not publishable on here ( polite publication of what I said is 'go away') :)

Was your car shipped half way around the world?

Does your car create PM10s?

We considered buying a Kia people carrier before we got the galaxy, but the thought of running a 3 litre merc diesel (taken from the sprinter van)and the awful servicing costs plus loads of road noise put me off.

Cars require more energy to be built than they use in their lifetime.  To reduce overall energy consumption and thus carbon emmisions we should use vehicles for as long as possible.

Plus some of the new cars are producing incredible results.  Look at the new 3l diesel lump from Jaguar/Land Rover.  300hp, 40+ mpg, quiet and bmw/mercedes are panickingly trying to replicate this result!

Last year the minister the minister for the enviroment came to our school to give some gay talk about the enviroment.

And as I was leaving the car park he was getting into his prius. Well I just had to smoke the tyres didn't I.  ;D ;D ;D

My mate double dared me anyway .
