  • A motoring diary`snapshot` - you, yesterday 4/6/09 6 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    Cleaned rubber hoses with a wipe of degreaser and rinse. Test run, top up antifreeze. By now it`s 5.00pm - and the evening is spent reading History - watching TV and using the Eee pc.... on The Forum. If I were to keep a recording diary of yesterday - that`s the `motoring context` it would reveal - of the day and typical of me in retirement - (garden excluded) Do you want to post your own snapshot of (preferably) 4th June.
  • Old vw beetle for potential restore. 9 Dec 2003 (Forum)
    It\'s been sat in one place for several years now, on its wheels. The tyres are completely flat, the exhaust has pretty much disintegrated, and the body work is coated in green scum. Am I too late to save it do you think?
  • Transport 2000 Mission 7 Nov 2002 (Forum)
    Cars are a good thing, if used appropriately can be enjoyed by those that wish to use them well into the future. But liking cars does not mean liking sitting in them in heavy traffic. So what?s wrong with using cars less? 2. What?s wrong with using public transport (o.k. need to encourage an improved public transport system as part of a better transport system). I commute by train on a 110 mile round trip every day and this is a preferable alternative to a rush hour drive (even in these Railtrack days) ?

  • Jaguar X-Type 2.0d SE, 2004, 170 k miles - Bangernomics 17 Jul 2017 (Forum)
    (When the time comes it'll be a new Dacia for me) Took the car in yesterday morning having heard an unusual noise which I thought might be a broken/missing exhaust bracket.  Good news, the bracket was fine. Bad news, needed new f+r o/s wheel bearings, plus rear pads and discs. Done in the day, total cost inc. VAT £320. Spoke to guy who'd actually done job - f/o/s bearing was completely shot (shown) so well worth having done. I thought that the cost was entirely reasonable.
  • Toot Toot !! 16 Jul 2017 (Forum)
      I never was able to afford a car so expensive, let alone one with so oversize an engine.   Do the BRs think that the young man was a victim of the s/s salesmen ?   There used to be one of those irritating notices in the back widscreen of old cars, "I know it's old, but it's paid for".
