Terrible news! According to genuine, reputable outlets, Britain is facing an imminent shortage of beer, at the very time our nation needs it most.The problem, it seems, is a nationwide shortage of carbon dioxide, vital to give beer its fizz. One of the UK"s two CO2 manufacturing facilities is closed for maintenance, and with demand soaring thanks to the warm weather, the World Cup and the necessity of distraction from the increasing certainty that humanity will soon destroy itself, that means we"re facing a beer-drought.And it"s not just bad news for beer drinkers: CO2 also puts the spritz into soft drinks, and is used to keep meat and salad fresh (and presumably slightly fizzy).Now. Top Gear would never claim to be the last word on matters scientific with the exception of Paul Horrell, who not only managed to finish A Brief History Of Time, but also understood nearly a quarter of it but we feel we may have the solution.Because and correct us if we"re wrong here cars produce carbon dioxide, right? Quite a lot of it, in some cases. Generally regarded as a bad thing, but right now, with CO2 stocks dangerously low, that"s surely the answer. Use our most polluting cars to fizz beer!Now, we"re not exactly sure of the process for getting CO2 from the tailpipe of a car into the molecular structure of beer. We"re guessing: length of hose, one of those old-school coffee filter paper things, and maybe a large conical flask.Tiny, technical details. What we need to know at this stage is: which cars will most quickly put the fizz back in our nation"s beer? Which pump out the most CO2? Or possibly the most CO2s?So here, without further ado, are the Ten Best Cars For Solving Britain"s Beer Crisis.
