Thats Right!!

Prince Charles has converted his beloved Aston Martin DB6  ( a 21st birthday present from the queen, nice eh?)  to run on surplus Btitish wine....

From:  Dailymail.com...

Converting the Aston Martin played a small but symbolic role. The Prince's chief aide Sir Michael Peat said: 'Charles only travelled two or three hundred miles a year in the Aston but he wanted it to be environmentally friendly. It just happened that our bioethanol supplier makes the fuel from surplus English wine.'

The car - which is kept at Highgrove and clocks up just 300 miles a year - averages ten miles a gallon, the equivalent of 4.5 bottles of wine for every mile.

At £1.10 a litre, the bioethanol is only slightly cheaper than conventional petrol, but is estimated to produce 85 per cent less carbon dioxide.

The grapes used for Charles's fuel have already been fermented into wine on an English vineyard near Swindon, Wiltshire.

Its owners bottle all they can, but cannot produce more than their EU quota. Rather than destroy the excess, the vineyard now sells it to the Gloucestershire biofuels supplier Green Fuels, where it is distilled.

The green prince has also introduced a raft of environmentally-friendly measures at his homes, such as reed bed sewage systems and wood-chip boilers at Highgrove and Birkhall, his Scottish residence.

He even tries to have his cows fed on grass rather than grain - to cut their flatulence and minimise their emission of the greenhouse gas methane...

Maybe Chollie is starting to do what so many green "hippycrites"  fail to do, Which is walking  the walk, not just talking the talk.

Heck, he's even got his cows burping and fartting less!

Sadly, like many "hippycrites" he has a long way to go.

" Do as I say, Not as I do!!...

What a Prince... cough cough. Too bad he hasn't done anything about polluting the earth with that ghastly face of his or that of his horse faced wife. I really got a chuckle when they were over here a couple of years ago... Dubya gifted them with saddles... all I could do was get the visual of Chucky boy saddling up ole Seahorse Cammy and riding her back across the sea to England.

One of his reduced farting cows must have been nearby...

No kidding Tom! Good, hopefully, I'll be able to watch. What ever the topic, I'm sure you'll give good advice, just like in your blogs.

He only drives the thing about 300 miles a year!

I guess the rest of the traveling time is spent on planes and yachts...

What do they run on? his cow's milk?

Guns, it's consumer reports type of show that's done on the local fox news broadcast. If Tom's is going to be on, I would venture to guess that this report will be along the "high tech" lines.

Starting to feel like Texas up here, my friend!

Move...every prince has a purse?

Tee hee Jimbo.... you can't enjoy Texas until you have been the recipient of a good old fashioned Texas BBQ.
