  Anti-Speed Campaigners and the Lessons of History 20 Nov 2001 (News)
  The Conservative Poll tax was deeply unpopular and attracted a lot of criticism but the instigators were elected representatives and not faceless public servants on a mission as is the case with the New Speeding Tax. Are politicians s concerned that the public have lost confidence in them? Could it be that unless they represent the interests of the public that elected them by retaking control of the country from these marginalised groups, history will record many failed political careers and even a democratic systems that we used to know and love?

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 9-5-2015 9 May 2015 (News)
  . After a half hour break I restarted, reversed and then drove off, but could hear and feel that the car was in Sports mode.  In my old Octavia 1.9 that would have signified that I'd pulled the gear lever beyond D to S; however, as you know this model has a single gear lever D/S position. The readout in the small panel above the wheel confirmed that the car was in S: yet when I pressed the Mode button, on the main screen ECO was still ringed as selected. I tried pressing Normal, then ECO, but this had no effect. I stopped and restarted the engine, and this time it reverted to ECO mode as normal. Is this a known fault or may it just be a one-off?

  Why was this decision made? Much speculation about William Lyons’ personal involvement with the P8′s death has been made, but an ex-employee of AE-Brico, Peter Wilson, shed some new light on this in Jaguar World Monthly magazine. ‘I arrived one morning to find a large group of engineers, all with long faces, surrounding a P8, which had been subjected to a 30mph frontal impact test at MIRA as part of its proving programme, Peter recalled. ‘The reason for their consternation was all too obvious.

  Is this Britain’s cheapest car? 24 Mar 2017 (News)
  And the deal was made even sweeter on the realisation that there was enough petrol in the tank to get it home – well over £3.19’s worth, indeed. Result... The downsides? Well, it was filthy and for the first few miles of driving it, I did think it was destined to be a breaker - although it ran well, the heater was refusing to generate any warm air.   Given the K-Series engine’s reputation for head gasket failure, my automatic mindset was to think the worst.
