Due to scrappage schemes all over Europe people are buying small cars

I don't think that's entirely down to scrappage. I know in Czech all
diesel sold has to contain a percentage of Biodiesel (Cz Government
concession to the EcoMental brigade), which tends to fuck pumps an
injectors on most common rail things.

Another factor is diesel fuel waxing in winter. If it's -15 deg C out
and the car won't start, the car isn't much use. Manufacturers charging
a few hundred quid for fuel heaters etc doesn't really help.

So the intelligent people out there are going back to petrol, and good
on 'em ;-)

Yeah! Petrol engines rock!

Fuck diesel!

No.
No, I am not upset by the absence of that from our roads.
Now if we can just convince people to stop buying Mitos

That Mito thing is fucking horrible. There's one I see regularly on
the way to work. Puts me in mind of the ice cream van that used to
come round our way when I was a kid - it was one of those funny little
fiat vans. Awful. I want to stop it and ask the driver if he bought it
out of choice!

They must have looked long and hard for such a tall ugly tree.

Yikes. You are a man of, um, unconventional tastes. I respect that.
Please don't be offended if I don't shake hands.

Clearly, it's so much more hideous and ill-proportioned than an X6 or A5
Sportback or Focus folding tin-top or any of a squillion other vile
abortions from "cool" makers...

It's not bad from that angle. Apart from the front. Which looks like it's
off a car 3 classes bigger...
