2011 What Car? Awards


From a very young age I have had interest in cars, as I was growing up I would buy a toy car almost every week. For all my birthdays and Christmas present it was usually a remote controlled car and it always made me smile.  After I got married my wife wasn’t very happy with my passion for cars, as I would drag her to every car show and events with me.

The most recent event we went o was the What Car? Awards, which I really enjoyed but my wife didn’t at all. So she made me promise not to take her to any other car show events or anything related to cars.

This year’s What Car? was really good, I was surprised with some of the results, but the one that didn’t surprise me was when that announced  the Vauxhall Ampera has the Green Car of the Year 2011. The Vauxhall Ampera is a very good and nice car, I want to buy it for myself and get rid of my used Vauxhall Lisburn but my wife doesn’t like it.

After they announced the result, What Car? editor-in-chief Chas Hallett said: "The Vauxhall Ampera represents a massive step for alternative-fuel cars. It offers all the benefits of owning an electric vehicle with virtually none of the drawbacks. It gives motorists the ability to dramatically reduce their emissions without changing their lifestyle, which is exactly what green cars need to do."

I made sure my wife heard what was being said, so I can get the car but as she had no interest, she wasn’t even paying me any attention.
