Hi everyone,
I'm starting a thread about new green cars & car technology & advances etc. I was in London recently and walking through Soho kept seeing these really odd looking little cars that were called 'g-wiz' and had the website www.goingreen.co.uk on the back.
So when I got home I looked it up, and these look like the coolest little cars!!! It makes me wish I could have one. Although I'd have to live in central london, have a garage or carport attached to the house/with power, work in central london and not mind spending all the time in traffic to get there (it's got to be more comfy than the tube though surely!)...
I'm also a little interested in the hybrid cars, I'm sure I read somewhere that you can get them to plug-in electric (so you can charge them up to run on elec from the start) too which is great. We are moving to Australia soon and won't be needing a car for a few years but when we do I'll be looking into those.
And a while ago I got an email forwarded with a video of a segment on a BBC show, I think it was Top Gear, of a new technology in development, with only one in existance so far, of a car that runs off of salt walter, but it's very strange in that it's designed with everything in the base of the car and the sides and top are a shell that can lift off and be changed with just the use of a wynch, so you could just change it quite easy and keep the base. It's an intriuging idea although the steering look like it was based on a game console attachment rather than a real car - I don't like that, I think you need to keep game world and real world more seperate!
Anyway that's just a waffle, I'm interested to hear what other people think/have heard about/seen/driven/know etc....
