    Colouring in

    When i was about 4 years old my favorite pass time was colouring in. Unfortunately today grown men still do it and i see this as vandalism. Before you know it the colours are "authentic" and once one person posts them, 20 more will also post them and by tea time its all gospel. I can across...

    FAST CAR...big battery

    Thev will last as most manafactureres scrap the ICE production lines. China will control the supply of lithium for the batteries but really, certainly in the UK and Europe , this is about killing the car in all forms.
