Greenpower racing at Gooodwood
Just got home from the opening race in the Greenpower race at Goodwood, very good event (it's free to get in).

Would you like a subject to discuss? Last week the Government announced grants of up to £5,000 towards the purchase of electric cars. It now transpires that these grants will not be available until 2011. Furthermore, the proposed grant scheme excludes quadracycles such as the G-Wiz. The G-wiz is ...

It could have saved GM, and had they persisted with it they would be 10 years ahead of all the other US car makers now. There was a comment in the news yesterday about Barack Obama giving GM and Chrysler a really hard time but it was also pointed out that there has been legislation in the states th...

A step in the right direction
I have just received Rob's e-mail about use of e-mail for BVS communication and survey of preferences.

Jeremy, at a time when it is rare for BVS menbers to agree about anything :wink: I will spoil the moment and take issue with The majority of cars sold in the personal (not fleet) car market are very boring boxes that look pretty much the same.
