		<description><![CDATA[This site isn&#8217;t really meant to be taken too seriously but judging by the editing of the images, a fair bit of work has been put into it. As it says on the tin (phrase from old UK TV advert), it is a look at many cars (past and present) in the UK that are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some great photos from a bloke who got an insider tour of the Lamborghini factory at Sant&#8217;Agata Bolognese, including non public areas where they build the cars as well as the museum. Of course it takes away some of the iillusion about them but hey they are just cars, albeit rather expensive and fast! Link [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Diesel (or PetroDiesel to distinguish it from BioDiesel) is derived from distilling Petroleum. A gallon of gas (sorry Petrol) has about 15% less energy than a gallon of diesel and in cars the difference can be 40% more mileage for diesel engined vehicles than petrol. Of course Petrodiesel is a fossil fuel. It takes millions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This runs in a Java applet so you need Java installed. Being a computer programmer with a strong interest in computer science, I&#39;ve always found simulations interesting.&#160; Things like optimising lifts, checkout queues and road traffic. This simulation has cars and trucks moving on 6 different tracks with variable simulation speed, traffic flow, on ramp [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine fitting jet turbine engines (small ones) to the likes of pickup trucks or Sinclair C5s. Ideal for racing boy racers off from traffic lights though somehow I cannot see these as being exactly road worthy. That&#8217;s what this website is about- with photos of descriptions. Fancy a turbo jet go-kart? There are also videos [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a sort of car construction limbo dance to see who can build the world&#8217;s least tall street legal car. Briton Perry Watkins is now the current holder (it&#8217;s an unofficial title but I might be wrong) with an amazingly 19&#8243; tall car &#8211; the Flatmobile. The picture is a grab of a Youtube video, [...]]]></description>
