• A Christmas Story - the older motorist 24 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  The silver A class had just moved onto the chemist`s forecourt and as I reversed into position beside him, I noticed him pause as he opened his door and then smile slightly as we made eye contact on getting out of our vehicles. I would place him in his late 80`s - moving slowly into the chemist, white faced and without much colour in his lips, let alone face.
• Trade £340 quote - to £3 triumph of DIY Lock 24 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Then a quote from a Fiat dealer - £340 to fit new locks. because Fiat don`t supply single locks and you have to buy a `lock set`. Then there`s labour - and this is cheap, up North labour. What to do? So back to the scrapyard that`s been there since youth and you still strip parts yourself. You start to strip a passenger door - wanting that side for the likely pristine tumbers..
• Renewable Energy and Cars. feeble renewable... 25 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  (Excluding the cost of the equipment) selling spare to the grid to compensate for windless periods? Renewable doesn`t work in other ways too. I was looking at torches today. Hand cranked one`s can get twenty minutes or so if you wind the handle like mad and get 3 or so dim LEDS. Or you can buy a 20 LED (3Dcells) torch that will last for 100 hours full on. (OK if there`s a nuclear winter and so on that`s different, but then there would be other issues beyond hand cranking a feeble torch) It all just seems to highlight the actual trivial power outputs of this sort of generation and solar equipment.
• Crimewatch 27 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  On Sunday 28th September 2003 Rachel and Richie Turk were travelling along the A4130 (on Gangsdown Hill near Huntercombe) between Henley-on-Thames and Wallingford with Rachel?s children. Rachel, Richie and one of the children were killed after a head-on collision with a Subaru Imprezza. A red mini, with either a white roof or wide white stripes, overtook the family?s car at a place where overtaking is prohibited.
• Fiat Panda 1.1 Review - "slower than a cockroach" 18 May 2010 (Forum)
  Anyway, she seems to be right because comparing the speed over the ground - and in particular away from a standing start, the giant oriental cockroach can move it`s own body length in a fraction of a second, where the Panda cannot. (It`s a slug away from lights compared with the old `torque by cylinder capacity under 1,000 revs` 1.9D.) It`s reported to be "great on ice and snow" and first experience of a car with ABS was very positive.
• Netflix - Whines for Christmas 18 Dec 2022 (Forum)
