What on earth is wrong with leather seats? Good ones are lovely.
I've never been in one but I've always liked the wool interior of the Toyota Century.

Are vegans allowed wool?
Stolen from sheep, surely?
Possibly the most impractical material possible for car seats. Apparently Toyota are now working on Velcro upholstery.I, for one, look forward to scrubbing my children's vommit, dropped food, melted crayons, mud, dog hair and other family accessories out of woollen car seats....
Why?Leather is a dreadful thing to cover seats with even if you don't care about cows.
He's talking from his flank, is Frank.Why?
All it needs is a faux fur dash covering.
Makes me think of the wonderful Fiat 130 interior. 70stastic.
Velour was the poor man's leather in the 80s wasn't it. Drop a fag on it and that was that.
Last time I checked, wool was an animal product.
Wool is a by-product of the meat industry, you fucking idiot.And sheep famously die when you shear them

Mulesing
The world’s largest exporter of wool is Australia, where mulesing is a common practice. This barbaric procedure—in which farmers carve huge chunks of skin and flesh from lambs’ backsides using tools resembling gardening shears in a crude attempt to prevent a parasitic infection called “flystrike”—is typically performed without any painkillers.
Shearing
Shearers are usually paid by the sheep, not by the hour, which encourages fast work without regard for the welfare of the animals. Sheep commonly suffer from injuries ranging from nicks to complete amputation of their udders, ears, penises, and other body parts. Says one eyewitness: “[T]he shearing shed must be one of the worst places in the world for cruelty to animals … I have seen shearers punch sheep with their shears or their fists until the sheep’s nose bled. I have seen sheep with half their faces shorn off …”
Export and Slaughter
When their wool production begins to decline, most sheep are killed for meat. Many are sent on a long journey in a severely crowded, multitiered ship to countries that have few if any animal welfare laws or regulations. These sheep—millions every year from Australia—are often slaughtered by having their throats cut while they’re still conscious.
I think it's known as 'lip service'. Pretending to give a shit about a something so you can feel smug.

But Frank isn't a vegan, is he?
You know the way you rub a child's head in a patronising way when it says something stupid? I feel like doing that to Frank. I think he thinks sheep are vegetablesNo, just a veggie.
Literally worse than Hitler, who was only veggie cos his constitution couldn't handle meat, rather than some Guardianista style bullshit reasoning.
Oh dearAnd sheep famously die when you shear them
His statement stank. Extremely rank. I think Frank's a crank. Perhaps a plank? On that I'll bank.Oh dear
That was wank, Frank.
and kebabs don't forget kebabsA happy by-product of wool is lamb cutlets
My car has leather seats, first one I've owned that has, As a material it is far superior to anything man-made, comfortable to sit on, invunerable to spilt liquids and super easy to clean.What on earth is wrong with leather seats? Good ones are lovely.
Living where I do leather seats are dreadful. They get too hot for comfort. However, suede seats don't have the same extreme problem. But this is offset by the staining/cleaning issues.My car has leather seats, first one I've owned that has, As a material it is far superior to anything man-made, comfortable to sit on, invunerable to spilt liquids and super easy to clean.
God's design bureau is a long way ahead of anything humans have come up with yet.
Yes it has but I've only used it about twice in 12 months since it has an SD slot as well. The last car I had that had a tape deck was an Escort in the mid-90'sBut, has it got a CD player.....
