Wonderful place.

Nice. Where are you from?

Sehr schönes Video, danke dafür. Das beste Auto, das ich je hatte. Mein kleiner ist nun schon 19 Jahre und 120 000 km alt. Bisher war nur eine Lambdasonde defekt. Seit vorigem Jahr geht das Fahrerfenster nicht mehr richtig. Das ist alles in all den Jahren! Sonst nur Spaß, vorallem in Kurven. Grüße nach England, greetings from Germany

great video, more content wouldve been great

Hello all - just a quick one form me to say I have not been paid in any way by Drift Energy to make this film. I just heard about it, thought it was cool, and wanted to make a film on it for my blog! more at lawrencedsilva.com 🐸

Why generate it under a sailing boat, thereby decreasing the performance of the sailing boat/hydrofoil boat. If one opts for generating hydrogen better do it directly by generating electricity in tidal flows, rivers, wind turbines, PV, etc. This approach is just complicating things.

So cool!

MAKE SURE to watch this video on my blog for the full article and to see the exhibits: www.lawrencedsilva.com/post/future-of-the-car

just get an mr2 mark 3 better in every way possible

Great review, if the looks of the roadster puts anyone of there’s always the coupe version, a remap taking them up to just over 100 BHP makes all the difference, if you want a Smart roadster in your life when buying get it checked out before parting with the cash there probably one of the most reliable cars you can own, but there getting old now better to pay a bit more for a good one.

have recently heard rumours that Halliburton are planing to frack in the Scottish borders , Canonbie to be precise, also a lot off lease holders have been told they have to vacate by Buccleauch estates , investigate this , and who is getting back handers.

to serve and protect, to protect who ? seems like protect greedy gits to me, profit before people and clean water. an even bigger worry is britain the police state where we lose more of our rights

I really enjoyed this review. I did fancy one of these as a runaround/weekend car but I now live in Canada where these things are pretty much banned I think. I feel the Coupe has much, much better styling at the back. One day i might be able to take one for a spin.

Simply put, fracking is pumping nuclear waste into the ground. This waste always, and without fail, always surfaces in a few years, weeks. Our food takes it all. Also a distraction from the well hushed chemtrailing toxic killer.

Nice Lawrence - since you made the video, the economics has shifted further, as has the internal debate - the Kenyan Energy Regulator has indicated it is not in support because, actually, there is not enough energy demand for the energy this plant will provide (they also advise against one of the new geothermal plants for the same reason) and this surplus supply will increase prices for consumers...

I really enjoyed this Lawrence, thanks for your efforts. Some lovely drone shots of Yorkshire - what a beautiful place at risk of being tarnished by this pointless industry. One of the real factors that the government seem to have overlooked is that none of the shale companies in the US have made any money! Even in areas where the resources were deemed to be abundant the companies are now going bust having wracked up massive amounts of debt. Is this the model we want imported to the UK? Jeremy Legget has some really interesting facts on this if people want to find out more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHyzk2tqgaiDf9U

we can't do nothing regarding our own land yet they can bore huge holes in our planet earth. They really do think they can do what they like. Yes it's us & them

A really well produced documentary on the subject I have shared to a number of fbsites local to me .perhaps other viewers of the video could do the same as its rather good indeed.

I would love to see them do another one as an EV now. To really show off how fun electric is when it’s in a car like this. I think it’d be so much fun.

Vote in the FRACKING survey link (Oct 2018): www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Q33MHF7

powerful and balanced doc. Have you offered this to BBC Three?

Wait till we have Rees Mogg as prime minister. You'll be locked up just for thinking fracking is a bad idea.

This is a technology that has more myths than realities, many of the myths have been created by people who are unaware of the hydraulic fractioning. I hope that in the near future we can have more real information and accurate data on different soil types.

Pena que não tem no Brasil triste 😢

As an American we are very comfortable,to supply the UK with many of its Energy needs...America has found low natural gas prices give American companys that Energy intensive are given a hugh advantage cost wise .The type industrys steel,plastics,glass,ect..Lead,follow,or be left behind Economically..Methane is produced in mass by Farms,do they plan on banning farms?

The trees and hedges in Yorkshire have long gone.... the loss of which effectively kills life and air, because both essential life. We are as ever so busy killing our forests and hedges (in the Amazon alone -the world's last remaining real rain forest - we humans are cutting it down in increments the size of the Belgium per month) All of Mother Earth's natural flora and fauna is in decline / extinction. So defending that one real essential to all life WATER - keep up your brave good work - we live in a strange world whem defending such is deemed a criminal offence.

Thanks for your review. I have used it for deciding get a second hand Roadster. Regards from Spain!

Great review thanks!

They are told that there is an abundance of water for fracking - are they using primary water to do this? primary water www.stopthecrime.net

one of the best reviews of a roadster thanks

excellent presentation lets hope the rest of the country WAKES UP if you want to do another presentation just google MELANIE SHAW and see what they are really covering up

look at where it has been done like in Aussie the land is ruined and gas pop up from fields and from rivers

Recently bought a remapped brabus coupe version puts out about 131 hp now... not back breaking but wow... such fun! Cornering is improved due to the wheel and suspension tweaks... just a shame about the leaking issues. Definitely a 'garaged until sunny' kind of vehicle. Great toy... at a reasonable price!

Thank you for this :-) See you at PNR? :-)

Great documentary, thanks for making and sharing this.

good luck to all who stand against this carry on, the landscape already provides the energy needed fracking needs to be banned everywhere and anyone who signs off on it to be done needs to be sued drag it into the courts and keep it in there until you win, thanks to all who refuse to allow it happen. be safe folks and never give up.

A very balanced and informative documentary which clearly shows the dangers of the fracking industry to our health, our countryside and the climate. Please share widely.

Impressive documentary highlighting the main issues with fracking in England. Please note though that Germany hasn't banned fracking outright, there is a moratorium in place. The following countries have legislative bans in place: France, Bulgaria, Albania, Ireland and Scotland. Details here: bit.ly/FrackingBansEurope

As far as I can tell Fracking is a Very Bad idea. We must stop it before the big companies do ven more harm to the Environment.

Nice one Lawrence. Thanks for getting this information to a wider audience. The mainstream media is very compartmentalised these day with the fracking issue only ever being dealt with on a local TV level.

It's great to see a recent review of this car. I bought a coupe version 6 months ago and just wish I could find more roundabouts and windy roads to drive it on! Great value at only £3100 (11 years old in 2017). Its been very reliable so far. If you look to buy one, lift the carpet behind the seats and check for a puddle of water, or signs of significant damp.

Drone shots of Spiaggia Portu S'ilixi and some and some shots around town in Cagliari, Sardinia. The beach is quite awkward to get to (which makes it more fun). In mid October it was still very warm. Hiking up to the top of the mini mountain at the top of the beach takes around 20-30 mins of steep clambering. At sunset it was one of the most spectacular places I have been. Quite creepy coming down in the dark and seemingly no one around.

Professional level review. Good job

Am thinking of buying one very soon I found one for £1500 and seeing this vid just make me won't it more look like a really fun car and cart wait to get one

Very fair, however you do get kind of used to the gearbox. You have to plan ahead a bit.

Panasonic GH5 Slow Motion Test. 180fps. Shutter Speed set at double frame rate. It was a sunny day but I stupidly left the ND filter on. At such a fast SS the images would be a bit less noisy without it. First time I've tested the slo mo. Not being able to record sound at the same time is a bit jarring. Overall really impressed with the camera though! For comparison, cricket is a similar speed to a baseball batter. (P.s bowling machine half volleys 70mph - joyous)

Well done Lawrence. I've had ... I wont bore...lots of serious sport cars. Simultaneously, I've kept one of these at holiday home in warm place. It's 13 year old I've had it 8 years, it's never let me down, it's my favourite car of all time. I thread this thing at speed on smooth very twisty roads in the mediterranean, It's brilliant. If you can't get to grips with the robotic auto and paddle shift..get another hobby, coz you ain't no good. Comparisons with the Elise are reasonable but this is better made and much more comfortable...it is something you can use every single day. Now I'm looking for it to be made over completely, because I love it and I've mistreated it but it just keep coming back, smiling, for more. Wonderful B road sportster.

Good review I have the Brabus model with a 120bhp its great fun to drive and still get around 47mpg

Wonder if I can shove a v6 in the boot

A good movie with facts on this poisonous white elephant Amu coal power Plant !
