I think it's a Cunning plan by the Global warming Disbelievers to rid the world of eco wan Censored ers err sorry warriors. Fix the cars only the eco wan Censored ers will buy and no innocent people get hurt. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up


What irony...eco wan Censored er killed whilst trying to save the earth.....wouldn't that be a story. Bow down Bow down Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

Latest reporting on this suggests all that is not as first reported. Two days of tests by State technicians have been unable to replicate the problem, and there appear to be significant inconsistences between his version of events and the physical evidence.
