--- Quote from: DavidA on May 07, 2015, 07:24:28 AM ---Pete, ..The best part is the cost of the 2 vehicles was 1 carton of Coopers sparkling ale, a locally brewed drop.. Not even Fosters ! You did well. Dave :beer: --- End quote --- Fosters is only brewed for export and those that don't know what beer is. Coopers is very popular here and its currency for a lot of stuff here. A fair bit stuff is costed by slabs of beer. saves cash :ddb: Pete |

Maybe this: --- End quote --- How the jings do they see to drive safely, especially when they were first pulling off? - they could almost do with guidance like an aircraft pushback! |

Well we know now, "up to 40 times the pollutants advertised" http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/22/business/the-wrath-of-volkswagens-drivers.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news But probably only 20 or 30 times here in Europe. :palm: Only VW at the moment but I expect pollutant levels are higher than expected from many other makes. |

Caught with their pants down and until caught they don’t care, it’s all too easy to apologise after the event, I would not be surprised if other brands are in the same boat. After all, all manufacturers analyse each others products and will be aware of what is going on, I bet in the end there is a moratorium a few wrists are slapped and they pick up where they left off pay a few lesser fines and carry on. The thing is at what point do you buy VW shares? |
