A74 24 Hour Closure 23 Dec 2004 (Forum)
Are we deliberatly keeping away from this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cumbria/4119961.stm ) story, lest it becomes another police bashing thread? I honestly don't believe all the people phoning into radio programs and news stations to say that there were no warnings of the closure -

4x4's to be banned in.....Paris 15 Jun 2004 (Forum)
Yep, apparently it's true according to a radio news programme I heard this afternoon with a Labour MP - Paul Flynn ? - 4x4's will soon be banned from Paris! Given Red Ken's recent comments about 4x4's, I think if he gets re-elected there's a good chance he'll try the same tactic in London -

Car Speed Limited by GPS 3 Jun 2003 (Forum)
Did anyone else just hear the article on Radio 1's Newsbeat (12:55)? Was about a car that uses GPS positioning with a database of speed limits, to limit the speed of a car. The reporter was in a 30 zone in Leeds and put his foot to the floor and the car wouldn't go above 30! He said that you can -

Golf PD 150 - why? 27 Mar 2002 (Forum)
Ok so this is a reasonable car. But it is still VERY noisy and it still vibrates a LOT. And it costs almost 20k in 5 door guise with metallic, climate, and a decent radio/CD added. Golf build quality isn't streets ahead of the pack anymore. Lots of middleweights handle better and have more space -

Ex-company cars 6 Feb 2002 (Forum)
Listening to radio 5 on way home tonight. There was item about new tax changes to company cars this April. It seems that a lot of drivers of larger engined cars are to be hammered with tax increases of the order of £1200 p.a for something like a 2.5 Mondeo. This leads me to assume that the lease -
