the enviroment

[CANV EFM]

not something i normally give much of a toss about it has to be said.. but yesterday at work me and the chaps were discussing cars as i am driving to the alps soon.. i had to lose the 3 litre v6 sports coupe when i got the dog and i need something bigger for this trip as well..

now i dont mind spending money on beer, holidays, comfy big seats on planes, nice hotel rooms, house type stuff etc etc but i really resent spending money on cars.. especially when the fking things half in value in 2 years (3 if its a kraut moter)..and i do about 6k miles a year

so when the chance came to get a 7 month old jeep on the cheap i hoovered it up.. now being american it comes with a nice friendly 3.7 v6 petrol block and that fancy american technology of overrcoming excessive weight with new lightweight materials,or option b, make it all out of steel and just find a way to get more petrol into the engine faster.. this jeep is one of the fastest things i have driven from zero to 30 mph.. it averages 15 mpg around town..

enamoured with my global warming prowess i was bragging to the lads here about how much carbon i was shredding.. i was somewhat distraught to find out that i was in a poor third on the litres front behind a 4.7 v8 litre jeep grand cherokee and a 5.5 litre merc jeep..

thats 13.9 litres between three of us!! a shade over 3 gallons of cubic capacity.. i commend my desk to the green tree huggers!!

A jeep - nice!

 

Now I've given up the booze (err.. sort of) I think the time is right to re-take my driving test and get some wheels. I've always been reluctant but kind of need to with the youngster.

 

Top of my list is a camper van, which Mrs Z is also keen on, but these things are pretty pricey right? (I know nothing about cars/vans/etc.)

 

But a jeep? That's cool. I could go for one of them! But a really old one that's falling apart. My mate used to have a really cool old Land Rover - a 1965 model if that means anything to anyone. Could only do about 15mph I reckon, but boy did it have character.

 

The environment? The planet will suffer the effects many years after we've all gone, so not my problem.

unfortunatly not the uber cool jeep you are thinking of C.Z. the rather more boring jeep cherokee.. i assume your thinking of the wrangler or maybe even a WW 2 job with a big u.s. of a. star on the bonnet!

[Electric ~soul~]

Yeah, one of them will do!

 

With a couple of young blondes by my side, cruising through the American desert and a big fk off shotgun in the boot.

Defender 90, or the good old Yankee Hummer...

Won't Canvey Island be under water in 50yrs if global warming continues?

 

Maybe I will buy a car and I've just used a whole can of spray on deodrent!

...and I bet you still haven't been able to get rid of that pungent hum that follows you everywhere!!
