• Car technical advice - Tech Section V Magazines 20 May 2010 (Forum)
  You wonder how some of the `mechanics` mags hang on really, don`t you? Considering the depth of information - the sheer through-put of interesting topics and quality of advice - much from working techs - in this forums Tech section. It`s the first time this month that i`ve not handed over
• The persistence of learnt behaviour - pedals. 10 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  rather than the `stair climbing` motion typical of Europe and the West. Further more, Far Eastern peoples in Europe often also have that `flicking` lower leg action. Why? I put it down to observational learning in childhood and that once `patterned` by the brain, it`s a lifelong behaviour

• Polished yet neglected - modern care (pathetic ;-) 7 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  - warmer days - damp mornings, salt still embedded in road surfaces after little or no rain.
