• Subaru Legacy - 62 J issued 2 Nov 2012 (Forum)
    He was keeping well in as it is a busy highstreet.  Once the other car had left the garage, he reversed back into the space on the driveway, off the road.  For the very short time he was waiting to reverse, a camera van must have taken a picture of his wheels.  This seems so wrong and as he was not issued with the ticket at the time he had no opportunity to take pictures of his own, or gather any evidence, let alone explain things to the traffic warden!

• Car Recommendation 22 May 2018 (Forum)
  I want it to be slightly luxurious, no bigger than medium sized, ideally an automatic (but no biggie), petrol, and more importantly have all the extra such as pano roof, heated seats and sensors or reverse camera. Honestjohn recommended a Kia Venga/ Hyundai IX20 but are there anymore recommendations? Something more luxury feel?

• 2012 Toyota Auris Hybrid - CarPlay unit no longer showing rear cam on screen? 11 Feb 2024 (Forum)
  Hi all, i bought the above unit , 3 years ago, so its outside of warranty. It was working fine with Iphone, but recently , the stock rear reverse camera, isnt being displayed on screen in dash, just the generic centered lines are visible! Its a pioneer unit, DAB, bluetooth, NAV, etc, but the rear camera feed is no longer showing! Its a small car, granted, but it doesnt have rear parking sensors, so 'she' can sometimes struggle parking the thing!
• Audi A4 - Car Claustophobia 12 Jan 2022 (Forum)
  Maybe to comply with new safety regulations but how unpleasant to be a rear seat in passenger in modern  SUVs such as the Toyota CHR and Mazda CX3. Drivers now have to rely on rear view cameras and revering in the dark is a nightmare with the minimal reversing lights. Perhaps something you get used to but how pleasant it is to return to an older car with a high seating position and command post view out.
• Detailed car choosing website? 18 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  Does anyone know of a website where you can enter what features you would like on a car and it would list the makes and models with those features. I'm talking of things like power folding mirrors,heated seats,reversing camera,heated steering wheel etc. I know that sites like autotrader can give you options of engine size,fuel type and gearbox etc but I am trying to find somewhere that lists all of the features on a car including optional extras and then lists all of the makes and models that have those features?

• car park incident 2 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  At lunchtime, I was accused of reversing into a car in a shop car park. The accusation was made by an employee of the shop who was in the car park at the time, who said the car belonged to a customer who was not present. Though there was no sign of damage to either car, I gave the shop employee my details.
