Greenpeace hates big, multi-person hauling SUVs - and they don’t much care for little cars, either:
"The Smart car isn’t even environmentally friendly,” counters Greenpeace climate expert Thomas Breuer, talking to SPIEGEL ONLINE. He points out that it can only transport a maximum of two people …
This Greenpeace group confuses and angers me.
Who put goonpeace in charge anyhow, roads, vehicles and people are part of communication, none of these and no-one gets fed, goes to work or survives. F&^% em.
Posted by surfmaster on 2007 07 06 at 05:06 AM • permalinkWhat we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.
I run my SUV on high octane, super premium. This makes me happy. I like the performance and oddly enough I like the smell of that horsepower generating exhaust fumes. So far, Greenpeice has said or done nothing to persuade me to change any of my habits. Perhaps if they practiced what they preach I’d be more willing to listen to them. But I doubt it.
What do you suppose the gas mileage is on that jumbo tanker ship the Greenweeines troll around the world in? If they really cared they’d be sailing a wooden clipper ship.Riight. Greenpeace. The anti-engineers. I’ll take their word for anything that has electronics and mechanical bits. Shit, they couldn’t even keep French Commandos off their boat. Hello, soap anyone? Whoops. I just saw why that wouldn’t work…
Still. It’s like asking how the transhumanists feel about natural death.
Here’s a Very Smart Car ... 180hp, 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, 1/4 mile in 12.4 seconds and tops out at 132mph.
Titanium exhausts?
This sounds like a discussion best to be held on Al Gores private jet from LA to Melb.
Just how can us plebs waste so much fuel on our needless travel? It is not like we need to attend important events like the opening day at a movie or other serious concerts or stuff is it?
Posted by curious george on 2007 07 06 at 06:15 AM • permalinkThe greenpeace loonies and their allies have taken control here in the N.T.
The Martin Labor Government recently continued with its orgy of regulation by resticting the previously open speed limit on N.T. highways to 130 kmh.This obviously angered Territorians who are used to driving safely at high speed.
Road safety.....reducing the road toll was the stated reason for yet more rules. But.......... you guessed it, the road toll has actually increased since these limits were introduced.
The latest nonsense now being mooted by the Martin Labor Government courtesy again of its southern green “advisors” is for water restrictions.There is no water shortage here, and plenty of sites for future dams, but the sheeplike call of the “greenies” and their silly mates in the Martin Labor Government is copybook southern “global warming” crap.
You can almost guarantee that the introduction of those expensive gasoline/electric cars for the N.T. Government fleet will be the next dumb idea to come from the over-advised(especially by southern greenies)escapees from the public service that is the Martin Labor Government.
Hi Texas Bob
Isn’t the Smartucki, the car I linked to in #7, good enough? In a linked update on the page, it says a turbo option is available.Reminds me of the enthusiast who shoe horned a new Porsche 928 into a widened VW Golf where you’re living.
And my brother-in-law built his first Chrysler powered V8 ride-on lawn mower many years ago. He’s a Chrysler nut.
Many say why, a few say why not.
#9 Hervey Bay for the furriners.
(Why in blazes would anyone want to watch a whale?)
(Like the rip-off penguin parade at Philip Island!)But how can I pull my boat with a Smart Car?

Here’s a smash test of a Smart Car. The car comes out quite well, the concrete block even better, but I’m not too sure of the occupants.Yes, I know the feeling of being embarrassed in places. I once owned a Honda City many moons ago, a two seater Honda. When I drove it to the farm for the first time, everyone looked at me like I was a city wanker. They were probably right.
One car I had was a V8, a Kingswood (HZ model). Where else in the world would you have a car called a Kingswood other than Australia ... none!
Cheers’n’beers ...
#20 The best car I ever owned was 1955 Chevy Delray Coupe. I put in an aluminum block ZL-1 350 (from a Corvette that had been broad-sided), Muncy 4-speed, 438 rear-end gear, coil over springs and ladder bars (to accommodate the 40s), Holly 1100 cfm carb with electric fuel pump (of course!), Isky racing cam, 202 heads. I had to put a 200 pound sheet of plate steel in the truck to even get traction. The power was intoxicating and was WAAAAY too much car for a 16 year old. It would boil the 40s straight into 4th gear.
The only thing that will make the Greens happy is the bloodless extermination of at least 90% of the human race, sparing only themselves, their fellow Greens, and the most beautiful humans of the opposite gender (to be kept as sex sl- er, breeding stock) of the Green making the demands.
Posted by Tatterdemalian on 2007 07 06 at 08:04 AM • permalinkdean martin ... OK ... but you never had a TV Sitcom named after your Chevy Kingswood Station Wagon, did you. We had a TV show called Kingswood Country. named after the GMH Kingswood. Beat that seppo!
Wouldn’t it be awesome if all those parts of the earth that are covered in cold, lifeless ice would once more be covered in lush forests? Bring on the New Interglacial, I say—everyone out to your cars, start them up now, and don’t turn them off until every last ice cube on earth has melted!
What?
Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2007 07 06 at 12:06 PM • permalinkOf course, the best car in the world is built right here in Australia.
Eat your livers out, Seppoes!
Quoth our sovereign Lady Andrea:
Bring on the New Interglacial, I say—everyone out to your cars, start them up now, and don’t turn them off until every last ice cube on earth has melted!
But… but… but… such heat would render all of southern California a parched and abandoned desert, devoid of any vestige of human civilization!
Umm… wait a minute…

Seriously, this is a word to the wise:
There is ONE and only ONE resource that is absolutely finite and unreplacable -
TIME
.If I need to spend a megawatt to save a minute of my life, I will do so.
Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2007 07 06 at 08:19 PM • permalinkI read on a BBC thread site:
We must take the CO2 out of the atmosphere and, like, you know, vacumn it out of the atmosphere and kill everything.
This idiot, such as all BBC allowed commentators appear to be, had no understanding of reality. Reality actually is that an increase n CO2 will produce an increase in biological growth.
