Number one - the diesel engine is dead. Thanks to high fuel costs, tough-to-meet emissions targets and growing competition for scarce fossil fuel resources, the engine once championed for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness is finished. Number two: you are what you eat. And in the case of the oil-burning powerplant, which chomps through a by-product of long-since-extinct dinosaurs… Well, you get the drift.

Is this the key to never getting lost? The Freedom Keychain GPS SiRF III may have a big name, but it’s the most compact sat-nav receiver in the world – and it’s small enough to attach to a car’s keyfob. It uses Bluetooth technology and can connect with smart mobile phones and PDAs to provide location data for their navigation software.
And as the dinky receiver has a loop to fit to your car keys, you’ll never leave it at home by mistake – something which can happen with other separate GPS receiver systems. The tiny unit weighs only 30 grammes and costs ÷£59.95. It has a 10-hour battery life and can be charged at home via the mains or on the move using the 12-volt adaptor provided.
It’s just a shame you can’t locate the Freedom receiver via GPS when your keys go missing – Bluetooth only works over a range of around 10 metres!
