Title: What Car?
Post by: Lizzie_Zoom on 06 December 2008, 17:23:46
I been following the new version of Survivors on BBC.   I saw the original in the 70s and not sure if this is better or not. ::) ::)

Anyway, regardless, can you imagine what you would do if you were one of the 1% of the population still alive?  Would you bother anymore with a car? :-? :-?

Or, if like me, would you select from the millions of cars laying "spare" around the country, chose the best and go driving down the empty motorways; zzzzzzoooooooooommmmmmm!!  8-) 8-) 8-) 8-);D ;D ;D ;D

Anyway, seriously, assuming you could extract some of the billions of gallons of fuel sitting in garage forecourt tanks by some means (no electricity to run the pumps!!), what car would you pick?   Then how long would you keep it for before finding another one?

Would you pick a pratical car (4x4), coach, lorry, or a supercar?  Would you only consider a fuel efficient car (given petrol will eventually go "out of date") or a gas guzzler thinking "what the f'ck!"

No, you wouldn't worry about the emmissions of each vehicle!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Lets say you could select six vehicles at any one time; what would you pick?? :-? :-? :-?

Also if one of them, that you "fall in love with" requires repairs would you bother finding the parts required, or just grab another vehicle from the endless supply?

All this of course with some nasty people floating around, protecting "their" recent acquistions and themselves fighting for survival! :o :o

No idea about the cars -- but one thought did occur to me while watching last (just the one !) ..... with petrol being so difficult to come by, why are they all driving the real gas guzzlers ????

only problem with this is you need a minimum of 3 people to work it properly ,a driver ,gunner,and loader- commander ,but still a good idea

I love that choice dbug! Very sensible! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) :D :D :y

You can kill off anyone attacking with your tank, use the truck to bulk collect from supermarkets, the 4x4 for travelling across fields to gather farm produce, the Ferrari for pure fun, and the miggy for 'best' on Sundays! 8-) 8-) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

PS: dbug you can pick one more if you like! ::) ::) ::)

A De Lorean............a real time travel machine.

I could travel back in time and fill up with petrol when I need it.....and then travel forward again to empty roads and no speed limits.

Yeah ....Yeah ...I know that the De Lorean was a real sack of sh#t....but it is the only car I know capable of time travel. :y :y :y :y :y

I'd have aChallenger 2 and a crew who know how to use it.

A few 4x4s something easy to fix like Defenders.

A nice luxury car

And if I had a plane it would be Harrier with FAA or RAF pilot
