• Inertia Reel Seat Belts 3 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  My father, Frank Loraine, was a toolmaker working for a small company in Edgware Middlesex in the 1960's. He was taken to the London Motorshow in the early/mid 60's, I believe 1963, and I was told it was because he had designed an automatic seatbelt which Britax were launching at the show. I believe this to be the Inertia Reel Seatbelt.

• The next `show stopper` in motoring? 14 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  It surely must have caught people out as it seems shares plummeted in Sat Nav companies on the announcement. 2) Now here`s the question. What`s next? The next big surprise in cars or motoring - that will have an effect on shares, or transform something already established. As an imaginary example - an `ever lasting` self cleaning spark plug about to be announced made out of a new alloy.
• Upgraded Lightbulbs 8 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  As I transition from the Altea (leaves my care 5th Jan) to the Lancer (arrived in my stable November 28th) Its hard not to do side by side comparisons. One of which is lights. The dipped beams on the Altea (H7's) are superb. Bright white and sharply defined. The lancer (H4's) are not bad, good beam definition, not patchy, but not quite as good as the Altea. So upgrade bulbs to be slipped in. (access to the bulbs is super, nothing much in the way - probably classed as just a "one knuckle" graze) Now I have determined from the web that the Philips x-treme +80% or the philips vision plus +50% are the bulbs to go for for performance.

• Mercedes Benz - What did they do with the stock? 25 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  In the up to one year old E280Cdi category there were dozens of matches, and the prices certainly reflected the effect of reduced demand with lots of good spec models under 5k miles at around, or even under, £25k. Mercedes have ?updated? their search interface this week (in the usual way of progress it?s fussier, clumsier and less easy to use than the one it replaced but that?s another matter.) Where has all the stock gone? Using the same criteria today it returned precisely two matches. I wondered if they?
• Need a Motorway estate to replace my 03? Focus est 14 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  But my role for the car has changed, and I now am doing about 500 miles per weekend on the M1/A1. (Oh joy). The little focus isn?t really in it?s element here; it?s a bit noisy, vibrates a bit too much, and the journey is a bit more tiring than I think it needs be. I initially had the car given the once over; and it needed rear shocks, a wheel bearing and tyres: this helped a lot, but I still can?
