yes i expect them to be the new car of choice for banger racing. or cheap track days. buy one for a few hundred and strip the interior out completely to save weight. sounds good. what models would you look out for?

engineers need to get onto making mini domestic garden or shed refineries. then we could have petrol at 30p a litre. no tax is applied as its not being sold or purchased for car use.

An ikkle oil refinery quitely bubbling away bargain-basement, fingers up at the taxman Brent Crude. Just what everyone wants in their back yard. I can just imagine the excitement on the kids faces (if I can still see them through the smog).

You've finally lost it, beach. That is way, way out there.

you would have only about a millionth of the smog of a national refinery though.
for when we have battery cars we could also have mini nuclear reactors aswell.
or how about a mini hydroelectric turbines that simply plug onto your water taps, free power whenever you use running water. ahahahahahah.

Honda has already developed a domestic hydrogen-production unit, fed by natural gas, which could also provide heat and electricity for the home.

The idea is that the HES sits in your garage and overnight uses a catalytic system to convert piped gas into hydrogen, compressing it to fill the tank of a fuel-cell car.

I hope they control it properly - the idea of some sort of Heath Robinson set-up in next door's garage doesn't bear thinking about.....

They will still tax you for it. I believe if you dig a well in your land for your on use you still have to pay the relevant department.

are you sure, how can tax be levied on a non existent transaction. its not possible. there are no figures to base a tax deduction from,no money has gone anywhere. if revenue asked to see your books you can send them a document with a big £0.00 on it.
