OK amigos, Leon did post this months ago but I can't find it but it's worth bringing to everybody's attention again. The Government is determined to shaft anybody who drives a car by raping our @rses with the tax they levy on fuel and sadly there's f*ck all we can do about that other than tell Gordon Brown to feck off and keep his sticky fingers out of our bank accounts and vote him & His Tonyness out at the next election. What we can do however is use the purchasing power of us all to negotiate a bulk discount on petrol buying

Ben Scammell has long championed the cause of car drivers and the raw deal we get from the powers that be, he has started the ball rolling on this:

www.pipelinecard.org

Get yerselves signed up kiddiewinks and also your wives/girlfriends/mates/husbands or whoever, email it to everyone you know, post it on other forums etc etc

It's not a secure site at the moment but not a problem as they don't want bank details or anything, and since I signed up I've had no extra spam or junk mail or anything so I for one believe this is all totally reputable and above board

get signed up! :nod

b@stard bloody link doesn't work, must be the new forum rules about advertising so you'll have to cut & paste www.pipelinecard.org and do it from there

mods/webmaster if you wanna delete this i've no issue with that but please remember this is not an advert as such, this is something which could benefit virtually all of us and SAVE us money not COST us money

Latest e-mail from Pipeline:

Dear Members

Welcome to all our new sign-ups and 'Hello Again' to those of you who
joined way back in November. So much for everything going quiet over
Christmas - our Pipeline servers have been red-hot with new registrations.
We now have over 90,000 registered members and we should definitely be
in a position to start issuing cards by April or May.

Petrol prices are slowly heading North again - as we predicted - and
are set to increase further, so we need to get Pipeline off the ground as
soon as we can. Press interest has continued and we have now been
featured in The Guardian as well as some more car magazines. I have also
done two more BBC Radio interviews - see the updated media page - although
I still haven't got around to talking to my local paper in Reading!

Once again, thank you to everybody who has done their bit to help us
grow, Whether it's simple things like telling your mates, or more techie
things like posting advertisements on websites and forums, it all helps
to boost our bargaining power - which means cheaper fuel for everybody.

If you haven't done anything yet, it's not too late. We still need a
lot more members. Just tell two people about www.PipelineCard.org today
and we could triple our membership! Use the recommend page on the
website if you like. (www.PipelineCard.org/recommend.html)

Please continue to write in with your queries, suggestions, and offers
of help. There are only two of us to answer you - and both of us have
other jobs - so please continue to bear with us if it takes a little
while for us to respond. We always read every email and we regularly add
new material to our FAQ as a direct result of your feedback.
JUSTICE FOR THE 96

Why don't you come up with a nonsense reason for invading an oil country, then take their oil and you get to pay cheaper petrol prices.

I walk to work and use trains, don't even own a car so "ha, ha" - although trying to get laid in the back of a bus (especially with a bird who looks like the back of a bus) is frowned upon (apparantly)
