• Carbon Taxes 7 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  - if I travel from Birmingham Airport to Malaga which way produces more emissions? 1. Taxi to airport, low cost flight B to M, taxi to my hotel. or 2. Drive B to Channel, ferry across either to France or North Spain, drive from Calais or Bilbao to M. Apart from the 4 days travel involved in the drive my guess is that flying is way better for the b***** environment than driving my car!
• Out of control Auto 7 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  He admitted that he had accidentally touched the throttle rather than the brake. (Okay easy mistake to make) My point is that there seems to be a misconception that driving an auto requires less skill than a manual and that if you can drive manual then naturally one can drive an auto without much difficulty. Having driven both types I think that there should be some additional training/instruction given when somebody wants to drive an automatic.
• Karting in the street... 28 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  A group of local kids have somehow got their hands on a powered go-kart - quite a decent one by the looks of it. However, they have taken to driving it up and down the street and often further - on to the surrounding streets via a moderately busy road. Now, I'd be surprised if any of these are old enough to drive and certainly the majority of those driving it are nowhere near 17.
• Civic Type-R Owners (Leatherpatches) 31 May 2003 (Forum)
  Thanks for everyone's suggestions for a sporty car for £16000. I am currently following up some of the suggestions & going for test drives. I went for a test drive in a Honda Civic Type-R yesterday and as a result it has gone straight to the top of my list, although I do still have some other models to try. Unfortunately on the test drive the dealer didn't allow me to leave the city so I could not see what the car was like at higher speeds or crusing.

• Toyota Yaris 1.3 - Auto gearbox intermittent no drive 31 Jan 2022 (Forum)
  On one occasion the car failed to select reverse, then forward and after three attempts she switched the engine off a few times and eventually she was able to get drive. Having a baby in the back was obviously worrying for her . Has anyone an idea if this is potentially a terminal fault or hopefully something simple to fix. The car is in good condition and has had nothing , yes nothing gone wrong in the last four years and passed its MOT every time.
• Renault Talisman 160 edc Initiale Paris estate - Left Hand Drive Car Insurance 1 May 2021 (Forum)
  I want to register my Talisman in the UK, but as Renault did not sell this car in the country, there is no compatible right hand drive model in the database of insurers.   I do not want to register the car in the UK if it is going to be difficult or very costly to insure. One insurance company has offered to insure the car based on its VIN number whilst it is transferred onto British plates, but the cost is nearly £700 for the first year’s insurance.
• Driving while stoned 25 Nov 2018 (Forum)
  Or approach the driver and politely and calmly give them an earful? I’m disgusted that someone would drive under the influence.
