Hope you had a good day & take care

Even my 74 year old gran with no interest in cars knew they should have just opened the doors, got out and said "bug**r!"

The soaps never have been too good at getting the technical details right with cars.

2 Corrie examples include

1 back axle oil in a front wheel drive car. - damn, forgot to check my back axle oil in the Xantia!

2 A faulty starter motor that seemed to be turning the engine over quite happily but not firing.

I suppose it all ads to the drama.

....or have I got these wrong?

HF - are you slowly becoming nocturnal ??

I noticed the lack of airbags, as well as the ridiculous storyline involving trying to cover up a "crime" that she would never have been convicted of...

HF - Volvoman has a good point, have you got a new job on a nightshift with access to a PC? You certainly manage some strange posting times. :)

Hi Blue and Volvo,

Yep I am definitely becoming nocturnal! Not a nightshift Blue, just a very weird body-clock that would prefer at the mo to be awake by night and asleep during the day!

Hence the extremely bizarre posting times!

Early night tonight though, tis only just gone one o'clock and I may just turn in soon :)

Hope all is ok with you both

'Fraid so. I wondered about the airbags too. Even sadder - I only watched that episode because of all the stalker mystery. Won't watch it again.

So even sadder - did anyone else notice that when Sonia broke down in the hospital room at Jamie's bedside (he's a car mechanic - motoring link), she flung herself directly onto his supposed mangled liver? (damaged in road accident - motoring link) The morphine must have been good, he didn't even flinch.

I should get out more.

The final collision was sideways, rolling into the ditch, not frontal so the front airbags shouldn't have activated.
