That was NOT expected!
Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:28:39 GMT
I followed a little red Nissan for ten miles down tiny little N Yorks
back roads this morning.
I usually expect these cars and their owners, not to make much if any
progress, but this one was not only making good progress, its driver
knew how to make full use of the sight lines to maintain speed and
safety ...

Mitsubishi Colt AMT
Tue, 3 Nov 2009 22:41:58 -0000
Can anyone advise on the reliability of the automatic 1.3 petrol Mitsubishi
Colt (2004 to 2009) ?
We are thinking of getting one but what little reviews from owners exist on
the web some folk say it is great and others go as far as to say it is
dangerous when pulling out of junctions.
Any reasonable advice ...

I am receiving a torrent of snailmail addressed to a former tenant of
mine, apparently relating to issues with his car due to unpaid fines,
debts etc - I understand from one bailiff who I spoke to when trying to
convince him that the individual moved two years ago, that they will

Lorry drivers not moving forward in a queue of traffic
Tue, 3 Nov 2009 15:01:46 -0000
I've just passed the scene of an accident on a dual carriageway (I was going
in the opposite direction). Two lanes were filtering into one, while a
crashed car was being recovered from the nearside lane, with cones and (I
presume) "Police Slow" signs.
For about a hundred yards before the cones, there was a qu ...

D/Driving question?
Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:56:06 +0000
Scenario: A driver has about 4 pints of beer and
proceeds to drive home. After a short while, the
driver thinks to himself, maybe I am over the
limit and may get stopped for DD. Now if the
driver pulled over into a layby and threw the keys
into a hedge and went to sleep in the
back(thinking...I'll find the ...
