Thats only an option when all cars are the same size . Cant have tiny plastic cars sharing roads with big gas guzzlers, just too dangerous. |

| 1222093 | 2011-08-10 07:22:00 | The catalytic converters on the horse drawn vehicles were notoriously ineffective, and the keen gardeners are soon sated with recycling. Not only that, the horses' job of covering the place with effluent is now efficiently carried out by politicos. Unfortunately it is easier to retrain the horses to become jugglers than to teach politicos to stop spreading stuff about. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||

They have a bit of trouble with the horses getting my stuff across the water to NZ :punk :punk Just look at the Swiss Guard, I think they pre-date horses upload.wikimedia.org |
