  • Mystery Motorway Exit... 17 Nov 2003 (Forum)
    The other day my curiosity got the better of me so I decided to take the exit. But I was quickly met with a large locked gate (not exactly 'works' traffic friendly!) and just an 'End of Motorway' sign. There was a police car near the gate also who was very keen on watching me, although he didn't actually talk to me. Anyone in the know care to spill the beans?!
  • Huawei car 6 Jan 2022 (Forum)
    For phones nobody cares what model you have. All people care about operating system - whether you are Android or iOS camp because it is OS which affects overall user experience of the phone.  I think EVs are going to exactly same path.

  • The demise of PAG 5 Sep 2006 (Forum)

  • Gas struts 15 Mar 2002 (Forum)
    The Gas struts on my Scorpio estate have suddenly become almost ineffective. They wont hold the tail gate up. Can they be repaired or is it a throw away and visit the scrappy at the weekend to find some newer ones?.

  • Lambing time 18 May 2009 (Forum)
    Anyway, driving through Westmorland at the weekend we came across a pair of lambs which had got out of their field. They hadn't strayed far but we couldn't tell which field they'd come out of (gate on each side of the road). So we stopped the car and waited. The lambs then ran to one of the gates and, after a struggle, got back in and were reunited with their mother, and trotted off happily (anyone got a lump in his throat?).

  • Speed humps as punishment? 17 May 2009 (Forum)
    Has anyone else on here driven over the new speed humps in Park Road, Teddington, near the Bushy Park gate? They seem to have been designed to damage cars. Is there any way of mounting a campaign to get these removed?
  • Buy of the week? 23 Aug 2025 (Forum)
    Obviously I haven’t looked at this particular car in the metal, I’m just using it as an example of how much value can be had with used EV’s now. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202508015052141?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios-app
