    When We Run Out Of Petrol..

    What do you recon will happen to cars when we run out of petrol? will limited edition cars actually keep there value if they cant be driven? and how would the engines be correctly lubed etc?

    Im sure they will find an alternative. but would it be viable to convert classic cars to operate with it?

    Just a thought. as personally i wouldnt want a classic car if i couldnt enjoy driving it.

    Hmmm. Not to sure I'd be keen on a battery powered Willy. Having said that I'm yet to drive a petrol one!

    water would be the obvious choice.......but then........all the designs that have worked, have already been snapped up n bought by the oil companies.......lol


    like fords ceramic engine that will apparently never wear......will never go into production cos the losses thru after sales of parts will probably bankrupt em lol


    the oil companies will do evrything possible to keep quiet any other form of fuel for their own gains.....again they have us over a barrel
