I know the duck (DUKW). Had to look up "Chicken Automobile". Yep, the DUKW is much better as an amphib!

To be honest, unless society seriously changes, we'll be lucky if there's any humans a millenium from now.

A video games company. They own the "Fallout" franchise, which is based on a 1950s view of the future, after a nuclear war between the US and China. Link: - about 18 mins in to see what I mean. Yes, those cars are nuclear powered...

Just as long as Bethesda don't design them. Cruddy things that explode as soon as you look at them funny...

Just checked it out on Sky News. Chap who bought it wasn't allowed to set up any financing deals to be able to afford to produce any cars. Hopefully this hasn't also affected the parent company Spyker. It won't have helped that sales had fallen about 80% between 2006 and 2009 - which makes me...

If you're talking NA, that's fair enough (I assume you are from the context). Otherwise, the actual first *production* 100hp/L car was the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth, at 204hp/2L. I vote Skoda anyway. How else can you explain the capability of their rally cars to perform above their stated...

Wasn't impressed by the Pug or Toymota. Ford was ok but nothing to shout about. Likewise, I get to drive various manufacturers through work. Not impressed by Renault. Fiat or Citroen. Really hate the Vauxhall Movanos, whilst the Astras don't hold a candle to the Octavias. Mondeo test car was ok...

Current Skoda Octavia vRS.

Great Scott! That plutonium is only to generate the 1.21GW of electricity. Still needs the petrol engine to move. Now if it was the BF2 version that can fly with the MR Fusion Home Energy Centre...

Skoda Estelle (hey, who's going to pinch it? Plus it's RWD and previous owner had ah competition carb fitted... :D) Ford Fiesta Skoda Favourit Peugeot 405 (former dog kennel and builders skip with electrical faults - ugh!) Toyota Corolla (Serious engine problem, lost power in 2nd) Skoda Octavia...

Funny, I'd been thinking along these lines. Problem is, I'm too lazy to get off my backside and make it work, nor do I have the finances to make it work. Good luck to the people running it.

C'mon, you know BBJ has an anti-Skoda bias a mile wide. I suspect it may be to do with Skoda's sucesses in rallying ;)

That's Ok, I got 91.4 out of mine the other day. Downhill run from Tansley to Matlock - put it in 4th and let it go :D. I have to say, after hills it seems to be stop/start and waiting at traffic lights that ruins economy. I can get anything from 40 to 55mpg on the home run depending on the...

Legal requirement for all drivers to have a minimum of Third Party insurance here in the UK. Pretty much for the fact that if you have an accident, and it's your fault the injured party has some way to get compensation. UtK, have you played around with the name of your job? Sometimes there's...
