  • Safety conscious? Riding vs driving 1 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    I do a lot of miles in a year and never would have considered myself a careless driver - in fact, I try to remind myself to be aware of my driving style, my position in the road, hazard perception etc. I do my best to keep safety uppermost in my driving behaviour and be conscious of how I'm "managing" the car. Since starting to ride, I have come to realise just how removed from the driving environment the car makes me.
  • Modern Small Cars 15 Jan 2006 (Forum)

  • Small earthquake in Chile: no casualties 25 Jan 2005 (Forum)
    I was lucky enough to be going on a date last night; on the way there I made a diversion to a Chinese Take-Away for later collection on the way back. Driving down the road to the Take-Away, in the back of my mind, I was considering the best time to ask for the Chinese meal to be ready for. This banality was rudely interrupted by the sight of a car driving fast towards me: on MY side of the road.
  • Not your usual dilemma! 12 Nov 2004 (Forum)
    And that would be to get rid of both the Porsche and the Peugeot and get a much newer "proper" sports car with decent driving involvement, mod cons and that I can drive all year round. (I will still have a Porsche to drive because my other half has got one, and he also has a Passatt estate so we have a practical car too!)
