• America - Pollution 28 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  In one particular town almost every vehicle was a 4x4 on steroids & when they were parked next to a BMW X5 it made the BMW look like a dinky toy & most of there 4x4's are V8+ and 5.7 ltr upwards !!!!! On American TV everynight in the Hotels was BP & the spill all night everynight! now I do sympathise with the spill & it should never of happened & if it did a contingency plan should of been in place BUT the American goverment approved the drilling in the first place & they still allow then to run around in 5-10 ltr 4x4's by the million.

• Funny experience on the way home.... 9 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  But then funny thing is, after about 2 miles the road goes into a 70mph dual carriageway and when we reach this, the BMW driver sits in the inside lane doing about 60mph. I just find it strange that some people will risk lives on the road for nothing and there's no real urgency to get anywhere. Chris

• car servicing scam to end 17 May 2004 (Forum)
  These restrictive clauses, which affected 49% of new cars sold last year, have now been removed following pressure from the OFT.
