• Writing about motoring 5 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I`m having trouble thinking of a single new topic now - not really writers block, but more burnout on the subject. Perhaps it`s better if you`re more into debating. I was never really into that - it was more about attempts to create `stand alone content` - to generate a little good feeling. Mostly
• Chrysler PT Cruiser (2000 - ) - Parts not exactly free... 28 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Had to abort a trip to Sussex last Sunday at Roehampton Vale, where I became very aware of a dragging brake. In the petrol station there, the o/s front wheel was nearly too hot to touch. The AA sent a local proxy with a get-you-home truck which got us back here. On Monday took the car to my fine

  figures, particularly regarding some of the contemporary quite efficient lowish CO2 petrol cars? My Mondeo has averaged about 1.5mpg less than its official combined figure, on that basis - a couple of options because I am not sure on budget yet - a Golf GT DSG?s combined figure is 47.1 MPG, could I

  surged forwards.... Squelch popped bladder hop... Evolution had not prepared them for 165 70 R 14`s - let alone the 1,000kg, or even the lights as the road writhed behind and hopped in front to the insistent diesel drone superimposed on the slithering and crawling sound of a far greater work.

• Now the salt lays round about deep & crisp & even 3 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  - salt scattered in bulk at speed - as though bombing the continent a couple of decades earlier. A hint of frost? A thousand gritter lorry raid. Top speed, chunks of salt like bullets, whole piles of it in the gutter on bends as though waiting to accommodate a load of Cod. Salt flung out so hard, it`s
• BMW 3-Series E36 (1991 - 1998) - 1997 2.5 vibration from rear 13 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  About 3 weeks ago I replaced both rear tyres on my BMW 323i touring with a new set of Avon ZV3's. When I drove down my local dual carriageway there was a vibration from the back, pervading the whole car and through the feet. I took the car back to the tyre dealer and had them rebalanced. Still
• Would you stop for anyone these days? 27 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  Clearly broken down that is? It just seems appreciation of the effort, at best, is worse. Used to carry a big toolkit and spares, from the 60`s to the late 90`s. In the early years helped lots of folk out, with punctures, points etc. Once rewired a blokes trailer board at a motorway services
• A bargain,am I missing something? 20 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  / ABS / CD etc. Am I missing something? I realise a Focus would give a better drive and look nicer, that is clear, but as my wife does only 3,000 miles a year, driving pleasure takes a back seat against value and safety. Also the most savage depreciation has passed and it is likely only to lose 100's
• Corolla vibration 30 May 2007 (Forum)
  and it flew through the emissions test with flying colours at the MoT. Performance and fuel consumption are good (although the best torque is found much lower in the rev range than I would have expected from a 16valve Toyota). The best way I can describe the sound is that it?s like a sheet of thick plastic
• Saab 95 Aero estate airbag deployment 19 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  On 1st April 2007 the driver?s airbag suddenly deployed when I turned on the ignition while parked. In taking this up with Saab I was told that there was no evidence of a manufacturing defect or any other subsequent cause and that as the car was well out of warranty, it was my problem, not theirs

The song is about red-haired Molly and James, their love of the Vincent Black Lightning of the song?s title, James?s death from gunshot wounds and his gifting of the bike to Molly, as he lies dying and sees ?angels on Ariels in leather and chrome?.
