@ Fatbloke: hybrids are a nonsense. Dust to dust is how a car's impact on the environment should be measured. The energy used in creating a battery big enough to power a car, the amount of working parts to go wrong and the resale value of something that has so many things that can go wrong seriously reduces the viability of this approach. Better off sticking with a normal car, with properly pumped up tyres and minimum weight inside it. I think on a dust to dust basis, land rover defenders rate about the best - people are driving them 30+ years after they roll off the production line. I'm sure Le Car will be able to correct me tho...
