Gordon Brown is not ruining your life, you are. Yes, you are to blame because you're not even blaming the right people. All politicians are just puppets for the people who are really ruining your life who pull those strings.

As for the Gumpert Apollo, if it's fast it's beautiful.

utterly, utterly pointless.

If you're going to foist such irrelevancies on the world, at least make them pretty.

A purely engineering solution (a fine engineering solution it has to be said) to a question nobody's asking.
