• 1 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  I wish HJ would stop banging on about left-foot braking, amongst other things. By his logic, manual car drivers must be lethal yet we never hear of such a case. It is just a case of old people driving automatics who should not be driving.

• Citroen - DS 17 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  All this discussion about old cars has made me nostalgic for these. Have had several Citroens - in my view the 'quirkier' the better (apart from the XM). But the DS - should I? Could I? Buy one and afford to run it that is.

• Old man with a mission, but no hat 24 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  Yet once I was past, I saw at the next village he was back to driving at 20 with a queue behind him. I have seen other examples of this behaviour. Once I was deliberately baulked by an old man who indicated right whenever I tried to overtake. I don't mind old men in hats in comparison to this kind.

  I'm about to buy another car, so my previous will sit on the drive until it gets sold. The insurance will be transfered to my new car and the old one now uninsured. For arguments sake I'm unable to sell the car for a while and I need to get it MOT'd.
• Additional security on new cars 20 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Do you use additional security on your brand new car? I am referring to cars which are less than 5 years old. These cars tend to be fitted with immobiliser and code transmitter in the key fob which makes it hard to hot-wire a car. Just wonder if anyone use stoplok etc.
