Re-use trumps re-cycle, better to continue to use an older car than to buy a new one.
Most cars generate more in emissions during their manufacture than they do in use thereafter.
With that said, I went running today and I can really tell the difference moving from side-road to main-road, I'd love it if every vehicle was electric, or hybrid running on electric in town.
My replacement for the C55 will be electric I have little doubt, I'm looking forward to it.
I'll continue to bugger about with 996's though, I've been offered a 996.2 GT3 engine (needs a rebuild) and a brand new 997 GT3 gearbox for £12,500 the pair, which is tempting but the timing doesn't really work.
We're putting our new tappet chest into my engine next week - a bit of a (to quote the man himself) squeaky bum moment putting a large, untested chunk of metal into a working engine - but nothing beats empirical research.
