That is very cool but also seriously HFM given that you can get a decent Turbo R saloon for less than £15k these days according to the article about them in last month's Practical Classics..

You've also got the problem of their not being so many drug-fuelled rock'n'rollers about these days, more's the pity. They've all turned into shandy drinking vegetarians. I think that's the main thing wrong with the world. Too many Chris Martin types..

That'll be the article they rang me for advice with ;-)

Troo.

What you need to do is catch them on the way up, when the fresh record=20 contract advances are burning hole. Then you make it so excessive and=20 get it some TV/Magazine/Internet coverage across the world. Then watch=20 them flock. Run it on LPG and even the environ-mentalist superstars will=20 like it. All we need is for someone to get a workable algae performance=20 petrol in production.

They can already grow it for crackable oil for diesel, and low=20 performance petrol spirt, and for ethanol.

An E85 made entirely from algae, grown on spare land next to the=20 effluent and exhaust pollution from power stations would give higher=20 performance in the vehicle, not rape food stocks, use land that=20 otherwise might be ignored, not use fossil stocks, and clean the=20 pollution from the powerstation.

A small scale test in CZ has a biodiesel rather than cracked oil diesel=20 algae plant running off the exhaust from the council incinerator. The=20 bin wagons bring the waste for burning rather than landfill, the algae=20 is crushed for oil then it is made into bio, and is used to run the=20 trucks. Any excess is sold to taxi drivers.

The left over algae remnants can be added to cattle feed, or pressed and=20 burned as solid fuel.

If I can make all that work, I could be onto a winner.

Oh, here's a thought, how about a V8 superlimo, running big turbo and=20 supercharger, running mix of E85, batteries, and CNG from a waste=20 digester, battery at low speed, switching to CNG to move arround town,=20 switching to E85 when boost builds and it needs to go some.=20

Variable valve timing, a low boost supercharger with a bypass and=20 switchable pully and high boost big hoofing turbo should sort out=20 compression/timing changes for the different fuels.

Ah, so it's all boloocks then.

Definately.
