• N.E. France from 'above the Midlands'? 17 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  Worst part of the drive is getting down England. Driving is a delight over there with large empty dual carriageways. The Weymouth to St Malo fastcats stop at Channel Isles and so no real benefit. Similarly the Portsmouth St Malo is overnight and tediously slow going round Cherbourg.

• Ford Focus - driving a diesel 17 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  what is the correct way to drive a diesel? I always put the key in and foot on clutch and allow the lights to come on the dash and wait a few seconds for the to go out, always wait for the glow plus light to go off too in warm or cold weather. i tend to give it 10-15 for the engine to settle before i make my journey.

• MINI Countryman - Text & Twits on new Mini! 27 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  As a motorcyclist I often pass people (mainly girls/young women) with a mobile glued to their hand and the ones that are busy texting often give themselves away by their driving style.  I'm in favour of the death penalty for anyone texting whilst driving.  
• Honda Accord 2.4 type s 2003 75k miles - bearing type noise from Accord 16 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  I have just had both front wheel bearings replaced to cure what was taken as an obvious bearing problem. the noise continues, it sounds like a worn bearing but i am now advised that it may be a problem with the drive shaft. the drive shaft has now been removed for testing and no problem has been found. Drive shaft has been replaced but still the noise continues. Mechanic suggests waiting untill noise becomes more accute and then possiblt replacing drive shaft.

• Volkswagen Eos Coupe Cabrio (2006 - ) - VW dealer test drive 20 May 2009 (Forum)

• Drive off - Seatbelt on whilst pulling away 15 May 2009 (Forum)
  Often see people get into a car, start up, pull away, then struggle to get seat belt on with one hand whilst driving away, or even steering (probably) with knees whilst using two hands to tug on the belt. I know some one will say "stupidity" but I am interested in the deeper reason. I have even seen someone drive off whilst putting belt on one handed whilst half turning in seat to clump a kid in the back.
