Commented last week that all this additional exercise allowed was dangerous since I had slipped/tripped but other tha a sprain had got away with it.

I'll be honest, I only joined this forum to post my GoFundMe. It is directly related to driving and I figured if anything could appreciate my circumstances, it would be those who can drive.

I'd get the assessment done first before thinking about going ahead with it and trying to raise money for it as it may not help enough.

Last week I had a major fail.

I left the light switched all day and my battery went dead. With a set of jump leads in the boot I thought now problem. Until I realised the is no way to get into the car as it has no manual key locks. I search the net and people spoke about one on the passenger door. But not on this model. There is no hole or cover.... Read more

So all of this was just in order to come back with a dodgy link.

It's frightening that this sub-human species has the vote on whatever country it lives in.

If it is considered safe to enter a supermarket, a bank or a post office, why not a showroom? Unlike any of these, car showrooms could easily operate an appointment system to prevent overcrowding. Read more

Quite right.

If people are going to be earning less, or losing their jobs and having to find less well-paid employment, why should their tax contributions be used to fund the profits of unscrupulous manufacturers like VW (and their ridiculous, arrogant, defence of 'dieselgate' regarding UK customers)?...

I’m with axa, unlike a lot of companies they have done nothing to help during this time of covid, I know a lot of companies are giving car owners a refund of £25, I know it’s not a lot, but at least it’s something

Hi! I'm a car fanatic with a lot of you but recently I want to buy car gadgets which is a mirror for the windshield but I can't find it anywhere. I would like to ask your advice to see if you can get it somewhere because I can't find it. I'm waiting for your answer. Read more

You could polish up say, an empty tin of spam, to prroduce an unbreakable metal version. I bet that would fit, though it;d take a bit of time,

A day or so ago I ordered some LED lighting online. Low and behold, today I logged into the HJ Forum and the section of advertising were not cars but LED lighting.

Spooky or what?... Read more

I understand that ATS ( who are my local BC filter), BC and Michelin are all under the same ownership which might part explain why it usually works for me. I think the internal invoice I saw on the workshop desk to fit and balance two tyres was £20.
