Having just filled up my 200tdi 90 at the Tescos filling station I started the engine back up to drive off with the usual small puff of engine startup smoke. Just before I pulled away some woman in her late
50s/60s started shouting at me "the smoke that thing puts out is bloody disgusting", I said "it's a direct injection diesel, it's just a characteristic of the engine, they all do it", she then started screaming abut how irresponsible it was to drive "a car like that, it's criminal" I said "look it's only a small puff at startup is it smoking now?" Then she went off on another rant so I told her "to go f**k herself and drove off" (wouldn't usually use such language to a member of the public but she seriously pissed me off). The fact that her brand new nissan micra produced more pollution being manufactured than running a 200tdi 90 for 10 years didn't seem to concern her, was tempthed to reverse over her and her stupid toy car. Is there a Land Rover certified taser weapon I can purchase to teach these people a lesson or would it be hazzardous to use such a device on a filling station forecourt?Fergus
