That's some wedding car.......!

[Kerrmudgeon]

Nice of Dad to lend the happy couple his Aston Martin DB6 on their special day. Prince Charles had it converted to burn bio-fuel made from wine! Dumbass.
It was a gift from his mother the Queen on his 21st birthday.
Not too shabby....:drivingskid:

Converting the Aston Martin played a small but symbolic role. The Prince's chief aide Sir Michael Peat said: 'Charles only travelled two or three hundred miles a year in the Aston but he wanted it to be environmentally friendly. It just happened that our bioethanol supplier makes the fuel from surplus English wine.'

The car - which is kept at Highgrove and clocks up just 300 miles a year - averages ten miles a gallon, the equivalent of 4.5 bottles of wine for every mile.

At £1.10 a litre, the bioethanol is only slightly cheaper than conventional petrol, but is estimated to produce 85 per cent less carbon dioxide.


:shots: Holy shit.............


The grapes used for Charles's fuel have already been fermented into wine on an English vineyard near Swindon, Wiltshire.

Its owners bottle all they can, but cannot produce more than their EU quota. Rather than destroy the excess, the vineyard now sells it to the Gloucestershire biofuels supplier Green Fuels, where it is distilled.

The green prince has also introduced a raft of environmentally-friendly measures at his homes, such as reed bed sewage systems and wood-chip boilers at Highgrove and Birkhall, his Scottish residence.

He even tries to have his cows fed on grass rather than grain - to cut their flatulence and minimise their emission of the greenhouse gas methane.

I wouldn't necessarily do any of that stuff either, and I can't say that I'm in harmony with ANYBODY going to that level of extreme, but you have to admire him for doing it himself, not just expecting everybody ELSE to sacrifice while he goes on his merry way. Lead by example.

I'd bet that Buckingham Palace has been green-ified as well to some extent.

Imagine the size of the feck I do not give.

It is very easy to be "green" when it doesn't cost you a fuc%ing farthing.

I remain unimpressed.

[Gina]

Are y'all seriously whining about environmental crap when there is sweet Aston Martin and a hot chick in the pic?

I worry about some of you.:rofl:
