• Lost goals - England, Football - 66 & all that 29 Jun 2010 (Forum)
    So what`s the informed insight into that? Should the hands be better held thumbs inwards, down, or what. What next?  And why was David Beckham wearing a suit? I remember laughing when the Old Man tried to get me to watch the match in 66.

• What are your habits? - Dipstick 13 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  Of course I`m more careful after that - and suck it out of the dipstick tube with the sucker if it`s a matchstick width over the top of the hatching. other news. I posted a link to a utube song `The Vicar Of Bray` this morning but it got deleted for breaching site policy. Sorry about that - if anyone got the chance to see it.
• Torque v 0-60 times 29 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  I'm a bit mystified though how that doesn't relate to better 0-60 times (that probably sounds an incredibly stupid thing to say) and wondered if anyone could explain to a mechanophobe (is that a word?) For info: Smart = Engine Size 799 cc Cylinders 3 0-60 mph 16.3 s Power Output 54 bhp Valves 6 Torque 130 Nm 96 lb-ft Top Speed 84 mph Fiesta = Engine Size 1388 cc Cylinders 4 0-60 mph 12.3 s Power Output 78 bhp Valves 16 Torque 124 Nm 91 lb-ft Top Speed 103 mph
• The VERY simple electric vehicle - why not? 19 May 2009 (Forum)
  I have a friend who used to get into town in a car. Now he`s in an electric wheelchair and still gets into town, along the pavements. Standing between the chair and the car is the mobility scooter. I knew someone who came up a steep Pennine hill and five miles into town on one.

• What defines a 'modern classic'? 3 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  No doubt it's a very subjective matter, but I'd propose that the following do fit the bill: Rover SD1 'Twin Plenum' Vitesse Alfa Romeo GTV6 BMW 635CSi (the 80's type) Audi Quattro whilst these do not: Rover SD1 2000 ('O'-series engine) Alfa 6 BMW 850 Audi V8
• Kia Opirus 9 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  The BiL had hired 4 cars for the wedding transport, all were newish Kias. 2 were Sorentos ideal for the roads here & the others were Kia Opirus, which I'd never heard of! It's a big saloon looking vaguely Merc or S-Type.Interior is quite nice, not as much dead cow skin as my S-Type but nicely screwed together with lots of real tree wood & the leather looking as synthetic as any far eastern car. Full dual climate control, 6 disc CD & tape, with Infinity brand speakers & music.
• 307 Diesel - Under Bonnet Fire 25 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  However the dealer has said that 307's do have a tendancy to catch fire in the fuse box or if an electrical connector near the power steering pump gets wet. Surely if there is a known problem with an connector getting wet and casusing a fire this should warrant a recall?
• Sunblinds for rear doors. 13 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a Ford S-Max and now that the sun has arrived i really need some sunblinds for the reardoors to stop the sun going in my babies eyes and to keep her cool. The problem I have is that the door windows are HUGE on the S-Max and a standard sunbline covers only about 1/3 of the window!!!

• Colt vs Yaris - reassurance needed! 16 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Trouble is, turns out my wife had decided (but not told us) that she thought Yaris T3 would be a better bet. The unknown nature of the Colt (there really aren?t many around here) plus the Yaris T3?s nine! airbags were significant factors in her mind. OK, you?re looking at more like 10 grand than seven and a half (which is significant to my daughter but neither here nor there in my wife?s mind) but I?

• 'Metal' interiors 21 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  My nephew has the same model, same year, same specs, same Turkish wonder (though with an autobox ? that?s the only difference) and... green ?strips? around not only ?B?, but also ?A? pillars. People do notice such things. It?s OK in cheap cars, but not in expensive ones. Looks nasty especially when in contrast with bright body colours, like red or yellow.
