Hi Pete,

Unfortunately I think cars are a necessary evil *stunned silence*. Me and my girlfriend are clubbing together to get our first car, but the good thing is it's only an 850cc Daewoo Matiz, which is super economic on fuel....

If the job I go for comes up, it'll mean alot of driving around Kent meeting people, which I couldn't do in the same time on a bike.

I don't mean for this to sound like an excuse as I agree that the major car players are holding the world to ransom, and that alot of car drivers have become lazy *highlighted by blwyn*...Maybe in the future, options like solar energy or other green means of fuel will come into more popular usage...
