  Many years ago I spent some time working in Ziare. As you can imagine the roads were pretty poor so most of the company cars were LRs.

• Driving in Norfolk 4 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  So been driving a lot in Norfolk the last few days. It's like another world. For one they have lots of one-way roads, but everybody and I mean everybody just ignores them and drives both ways up and down them. I am genuinely staggered at such widespread wilful disobedience of one-way roads. Many

• Automatics - I'm a convert 21 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  I have always said that I wouldn't have an auto gearbox at any price and that I really enjoyed driving a manual. I did have a couple of autos back in the late 70s, a Jag XJ6 and a Volvo 164, but I never really got on that well with them. So what has changed my mind? Well we were in the US in June
• Do you ever feel 'fear' whilst driving? 20 Jul 2007 (Forum)

• Small lorry test 17 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  My dad's broken his heel and won't be able to drive for some time. Since we breed horses this puts a bit of a crimp in plans for taking my sister to events and delivering and collecting horses, for example. I'm 21 and have been driving for over 4 years now, which I assume means I can take
