Did they pay a lot of money? HECK YES.

An email went around through the Envy shops about it as one of the branches had to shut early because of it, or something along those lines.

Would have been funny to watch live though. Wonder how they got the skidmarks up from the floors! ;)

Strange, there isn't a shop called "envy" in festival place basingstoke. ;)

Think you'd better look twice (christmas joke intended. Failed.), Might not be on the inside as a fair few now aren't.

Appears it's a sub devision in FC. :)

Haha that was a mint episode. I have no Idea how that fiesta managed to crawl out the sea window deep in salt water though!!! Looks a good car, the ST version should be quite nice, its good to see its not as heavy as the shiter one before it. Fiestas have been going downhill since mk4 though.

The cleaners going to have a f**king heart attack, the ammount of rubber he's got to clean off the mall floor :lol:

I think simps' is orange? Im pretty sure the pics he posted of one before he got it were orange, which may suggest it is orange, since he may have found a green one if it was green...

I personally dont like it, Im sure its a great car in terms of practicality etc. but being a (slowly) developing petrol head its too large/ugly/modern for my liking. Not to say that if I was given one for free I wouldnt willingly accept...

Good stuff, if you think about it these hydrogen cars really can save us but not in the way most would expect.

The reason fuel prices are so low is because due to the financial crisis, the demand for fuel is dropping. This is what will happen when cars like that Honda become more common. Secondly, you'll use one of these daily which will be cheaper and cheaper to run once they figure out a good way of "collecting" hydrogen. And then when you want to have fun, you jump into your combustion engined sports car, get some cheap fuel and enjoy yourself blasting it around a track or in the countryside.

Can't think of anything better to be honest.

totally agree, when i first saw the news of the FCX in the summer i was astonished, finally a motor company actually doing something that will change the world of motoring for decades! it's very clever, sustainable form of energy (if capturing hydrogen is low energy consuming somehow). the tesla i thought was clever in 1 way, but its just pointless, loads of power, great but too expensive and might as well just get a petrol, it doesn't solve any of the problems we're having today.

really hope the new technology can be introduced in the UK or all around the world as soon as possible. i'd definitely get rid of whatever i'll be driving at the time for it.

and the overall episode is OKAY, i thought the last 10 mins was the best, proper road test seeing into our future.

p.s. not sure about electric motor noises, kind of cool but just weird, maybe they should record petrol noises and hook it up with speed of motor and a loudspeaker (Y).
