Green Car Guide Live -- like Eden's show, but oop north and free

If you're unlikely to make the Eden Project's green car show by 31 May, Green Car Guide Live! could be for you. Billed as "the UK's largest green motor show", the event takes place on 12 June 2008 at Liverpool's Arena & Convention Centre and promises to be a jamboree of low-carbon cars.

Eden's Sexy Green Car Show is tough competition as it's in its second year running and has big-name sponsorship from Co-Op Insurance, but Green Car Guide Live! has a few aces up its sleeve. In addition to the cars, the promise of a rally version of the Honda Civic Hybrid (review), Lexus' high-end LS600h hybrid (review) and BMW's low-carbon 118d have got the SmartPlanet team hot under the collar. The show will feature 36 different 'greener cars' in total, with brands including Toyota, Saab, SEAT, VW and Smart.

There's also the intriguing unveiling of a new technology apparently capable of capturing CO2 from a vehicle and turning it into biofuel using algae -- and then using that biofuel to power the car. Far-fetched? Sounds like it, but we'll have to wait and see.

Tickets are free so long as you register online in advance.

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Weleda Edelweiss Sun Lotion SPF 15
It's a very good, honest sun lotion and we appreciate that -- we're excited about Weleda as a company, but not overly so about this particular product
LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
