    Something has to be done, but hopefully it will be reasonable.
    I just read a media story on Al Gore’s visit to (I believe) San Francisco.
    He arrived in a hybrid Toyota . It looked environmentally aware.
    But his motorcade included two motorcycles, two limos, and a pickup truck.

    I mentioned this to a coworker today and he said his sister works for a large New York bank and Gore was there seeking funding for a project. THe appearently got nervous when he couldn’t find a CD ROM for a presentation. My friensd sister helped find it. It seems he left it on the private jet he was using.
    I don’t mean to pick on Gore, but i hove any cuts and costs are shared equally.
    I hope all this doesn’t relagate the “common” people to a third class existence whuile the rich and influential get to keep multiple mansions, private jets and fleets of cars.

    Did not our beloved Mr Cameron commit a certain Faux Pas in front of the assembled media by turning up to his offices on his bicycle, only for the assembled press to then film and photograph his briefcase being taken from the otherwise empty limo travelling behind?? :rolleyes:
    Empty gestures.
    The world’s screwed. Doesnt matter whether its Global Warming, Dodgy Politics or Lumps of Galaxy hurtling towards us at daft velocity. Enjoy the warm weather while you can. At least my house here in the Midlands will be closer to the sea in 30 years if the Ex-spurts are correct. Nice bit of equity thank you!! :diablo: 😉 :p 🙂

    Can they maintain the inflow of money and technology, or will standards revert back to pre-Ford days? I hope whoever the backers are dn’t do a TVR or Rover on the company.

    Hmmmm… ‘t’is a thought. Lets hope they can continue to make beautiful motors.. It did make me squirm when Ford bought them out, but lets face it, the DB7 and 9 are beautiful cars. Lets hope they can continue.
