I was looking at one, I opted for the Hyundai I40 Tourer instead as it came with pretty much everything! Decent mileage as well.
I hope that you can do a better parking job than the guy in the picture. What a douche bag

Holy shit is that real?

Doubt it.

large quantities of some sort of phosphorescent moss

Phosphorescent moss. Yeah. It's like fucking warcraft down in that pitch-black mine. And moss grows so well with no sunlight. It photosynthesises the shit out of the dark...

I want to get a new car when I get back from my holiday, mainly cause I want one and my current car is on its way out. At the mo I'm really fancying a Volvo C30.

Anyone owned/driven one?

I have driven one a lot (mom owns one). It is at least one of the most comfy cars I have driven. I have no interessest in boy racers so don't know how it holds up there. But it got good Acceleration. I still maintain that Volvo still is the only company that know how to produce a drivers seat for people above 1.80cm. I recommend it :)

The only crap thing about it is that it is just 3 doors. And the side doors are very long and quite heavy as well making them annoying when parked uphill.

They are our company cars and the engineers love them. The only problem so far was that one had the air con go in it at 98,000 miles and it was over £1500 to repair it. So they drove it for 2,000 miles and traded it in instead. But it looks like maintenance costs can be rather large.

Story is fake, but, the phosphorescent thing is real; I've seen it in Waitamo in New Zealand. Whether it would be edible or not I have no idea.

You might find your shit glows in the dark afterwards, only after your liver and kidneys have packed up I imagine.

I'm about as far from a boy racer as anyone could possibly be, I would like a car that's a bit more powerful than my current 1.2 Corsa though and this seems to fit the bill. Knowing it's comfy and works well for tall people is also great news! I did notice the heavy doors when I went to the dealership yesterday, had to be very careful cause it was parked right next to another car :p

Brilliant, so far I really haven't heard many bad things about them.

The three door/four seat thing isn't so much of a problem, I don't have kids and rarely ferry people around so as long as me and my front seat passenger have room I'm happy. I did notice the boot is absolutely teeny tiny though, that's not enough to put me off though.

There are non-photosynthetic plants

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myco-heterotrophy

Moss is extremely resilient to different conditions and can be found in extreme low light. (Not sure about zero light though!)

Yep, there are non-photosynthetic plants, but afaik they exist where there's other life to be parasitic on - which is unlikely in a zero-light condition. They're more likely to exist like those orchids in the article - with ready supplies of other materiels.

It's not to say life doesn't exist without light - but plant life is a no-no - like the hydrothermal vents. There are animals, but no plants IIRC.

Was there *any* light at all? Also - I can see lichen growing, but not moss...

Its pitch black and deep. The only light came from the moss (or lichen - not sure) and phosphorescent glow worms. Its actually pretty amazing to see. There's an underground watercourse and you can float along it on a rubber ring and the roof of the cave looks like a starscape.

Looking up the caves, looks like there's fungus and the glow worms feed on that, so not moss...

Watercourse and limestone, so enough for cave fungi to grow.

The glowworms feed on other insects. Its a really long drawn out lifecycle because there's obviously so little food.

yeah apparently the story is fake, although a guy did live trapped in a mine for 17 days or something

I don't know shit about moss though
