Science ponders 'zombie attack'

Quote:
If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively.


No, really?! I saw Night Of The Living Dead years ago and could have told them that. And the lead researcher - Professor Robert Smith? - has punctuation as part of his name. The "?" apparently 'distinguishes him from Robert Smith, lead singer of rock band The Cure.' Well that adds an air of respectability to this research which otherwise might seem a waste of time and money.....

22mpg and they're calling it 'eco'? :o

My 15 year old Saab (not particularly noted for being frugal, even from new) can do way better than that.

And it's frickin' hideous, too. It makes the Cayenne look pretty. :roll:

For some sauce??? Don't think they offer that. The retailer may refund you and you could buy a bottle of Daddies instead.

Easily. Saab haven't ever made a pretty car.

I think they suit the look of the car, the SPG model wheel looks much sleeker (IMO) on the car than the horrible US 900 Sedan. Perhaps I should just go shiney black chrome wheels and hit the white-wall??

Fair point, but it's the style of the era. In that sense, it looks right.

I've seen too many old cars fitted with modern alloys, and it rarely works IMO. Best to find a wheel type that matches the age of the car (for example, my TR7 has Wolfrace multi-spoke alloys that would look horrid on a modern car, but look just right on the '7)

But as for saying that Saab have never made a pretty car, you're probably right. They don't make them 'pretty' (they leave that to the French ;) ), they make them good looking in a handsome, manly kind of way. Grrr.
(Post-GM takeover, rebadged Vauxhall models excepted of course. They're all boring, except for the one with the Dame Edna headlights, which looks stupid.)
