http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=42010 Sorry Noddy...looks like even Ford are dropping the dedicated gas for diesel. Roger > http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=42010 > > Sorry Noddy...looks like even Ford are dropping the dedicated gas for > diesel. Just the correct natural progression of things. Good. However it should be the petrol version being dropped, and just offer dedicated LPG and diesel variants. >> http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=42010 >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > However it should be the petrol version being dropped, > and just offer dedicated LPG and diesel variants. f.ck diesel. Cancer causing foul sh.t should be banned. > >>http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=42010 > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > f.ck diesel. Cancer causing foul sh.t should be banned. Then err, why is Europe taking it up in large volume rather than petrol - need to read the article more carefully. Petrol and SI engines are just wrong for so many reasons. After I switched to a turbo diesel vehicle after owning petrol sh.tters it was bliss on a stick. A friend of mine who thought diesel was shite, I convinced to buy a turbo diesel - he has owned around 20+ petrol sh.tters before getting a turbo diesel and thinks the same as me now. SI engines are a f.cking hack. Recalcitrant peices of shite that have to have spark plugs to ignight the fuel, some sort of fuel that they actually like otherwise they may self destruct. f.ck that. Been there done that - hated it. I can pour used engine oil in my fuel tank and it will run perfectly, not to mention kero, petrol to a %age and any number of other fuels, even used (filtered) veggie oil. So if I run my diesel on veggie oil you would have to ban Mc Donalds and other places of fried food?

Because most Europeans are tight arses who don't want to pay for petrol. If they could get coal burners to deliver satisfactory performance they'd use those. > Petrol and SI engines are just wrong for so many reasons. No, they're not. There is *nothing* wrong with spark ignition engines and 99% of the world's car driving public doesn't have a problem with them. Yes, the fuel is flammable and yes it is dangerous if spilled, but *so* is Diesel and it is just as bad. If you want to make a bomb, you use *diesel* and amonium nitrate, not petrol. If petrol and spark ignition were anywhere near as bad as you seem to think it is, it wouldn't be used for aircraft engines. As it is you can count the number of diesel powered aircraft on the fingers of one hand and have enough change to play the piano accordian. > So if I run my diesel on veggie oil you would have to ban > Mc Donalds and other places of fried food? No, as I couldn't give a flying f.ck what you do. If diesel floats your boat then good luck to you, but the world doesn't share your view. -- Regards, Noddy. > So if I run my diesel on veggie oil you would have to ban Mc Donalds and > other places of fried food?

Yep, all those places are a scourge on society designed to lure in the young and impressionable at a young age in order to get them hooked on their unhealthy shite. It's the smoking of the new age... >>> http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=42010 >>> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > f.ck diesel. Cancer causing foul sh.t should be banned. If only people would maintain their vehicles... Reality is, they don't - so I tend to agree with you... (Apart from old Magnas) Almost every smoke belching vehicle on the road is a diesel of some form. Either some simple minded tradesman in a van or ute, braindead Mums in an excessively sized 4x4, public transport... and of course, trucks. BTW, yesterday out of sheer curiosity I did random surveys whilst driving in the Illawarra, and *on average*, for every 9 cars in the opposite lane there was one truck. Signaturehttp://fun.drno.de/pics/english/rooftops.jpg > BTW, yesterday out of sheer curiosity I did random surveys whilst > driving in the Illawarra, and *on average*, for every 9 cars in the > opposite lane there was one truck. So you are saying that only one out of ten vehicles on the road needs to be there and the rest should be using public transport, sounds correct to me:-) Daryl >> BTW, yesterday out of sheer curiosity I did random surveys whilst >> driving in the Illawarra, and *on average*, for every 9 cars in the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > be there and the rest should be using public transport, sounds correct > to me:-) Perhaps if you're a bacon and egg eating steering-wheel attendant :) What we really need is a decent rail system to take the load off the roads. >>> BTW, yesterday out of sheer curiosity I did random surveys whilst >>> driving in the Illawarra, and *on average*, for every 9 cars in the [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > What we really need is a decent rail system to take the load off the > roads. Bloody hell - haven't we been here before?? But. We had one, once... Hard to believe - the roads were 'upgraded' in the sense of being slightly less fatal -and the rail-lines were remorselessly removed. SignatureToby > Perhaps if you're a bacon and egg eating steering-wheel attendant :) Lol :) > What we really need is a decent rail system to take the load off the > roads. And decent roads. -- Regards, Noddy. > So you are saying that only one out of ten vehicles on the road needs to > be there and the rest should be using public transport, sounds correct to > me:-) No, he's saying that if that truck's cargo was on a train we'd fit another car in every ten and get people to work on time :) -- Regards, Noddy. >> So you are saying that only one out of ten vehicles on the road needs to >> be there and the rest should be using public transport, sounds correct to >> me:-) > > No, he's saying that if that truck's cargo was on a train we'd fit another > car in every ten and get people to work on time :) In 90% of case the cargo can't go onto a train but the people driving the cars usually can, cars outnumber trucks on the roads 100's to 1 so its obvious what needs to be done to free up the roads for commercial traffic which is the only traffic thats necessary.

Where in the article does it say Ford are dropping dedicated gas? Daryl > Where in the article does it say Ford are dropping dedicated gas? I never read the story in the link, and it probably doesn't say *anything* other than Ford are "thinking" about a diesel option. Still, Woger being the numbnutted c.nt he is, that's all he needs to think that it'll be in the showrooms tomorrow. -- Regards, Noddy. >> Where in the article does it say Ford are dropping dedicated gas? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Regards, > Noddy. this little quote says it all really "He said that diesel was "a very real option across the entire range" although the company had not yet committed to diesel Falcon and Territory models." PR speak for "when the public make enough noise about it, we will think about it" Mitsubishi PR is "We will tell you when you need it" Signature"Calling Atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair color." Don Hirschberg >>> Where in the article does it say Ford are dropping dedicated gas? >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > PR speak for "when the public make enough noise about it, we will think > about it" And Holden already have a diesel Commodore option in the works which no doubt is a motivator for Ford to do the same. >>>> Where in the article does it say Ford are dropping dedicated gas? >>> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > And Holden already have a diesel Commodore option in the works which no > doubt is a motivator for Ford to do the same. I hope that their (that's GM, not GMh )efforts are superior to what they cobbled together up in the last 'fuel crisis', I really do.

What was wrong with the 4cyl Commie? .......................Only joking ..........before this gets carried away. Roger >>>>>> Where in the article does it say Ford are dropping dedicated gas? >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Roger yeah asking that question could lead to a VERY long thread indeed :-) SignatureGod made me an atheist. Who are you to question his wisdom? > http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=42010 > > Sorry Noddy...looks like even Ford are dropping the dedicated gas for > diesel. And you're apologising to me because? I don't make the things, nor do I have shares in the Ford Motor Company, so I couldn't give a rats what they do. For what it's worth, Ford's implementation of the LPG system on the egas Falcon is *pissweak*, and it's no one's fault but theirs that it hasn't been an astounding success. Makes not one iota of difference to me Woge, as I'll never own a diesel powered car as long as my arsehole points south. -- Regards, Noddy. > http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=42010 > > Sorry Noddy...looks like even Ford are dropping the dedicated gas for > diesel. > > Roger Welcome to 2007. |
