It was never going to appeal to the same market as a G-Whiz, after all when leafing through The Guardian Classifieds for a green, zero emissions car with daisies growing in the exhaust - this was hardly likely to appear. Every animal it passes breathes a sigh of relief as it rolls effortlessly by, powered with recycled grass clippings, pausing just to drip water from its exhaust onto parched soil.
Personally I prefer a petrol V8 that needs its own oil well - could wake the devil with a thunderous roar to put an F1 car to shame.
If it causes the planet to get warmer overnight - it better be a convertible.
