  • Highways Agency vehicles 27 Sep 2006 (Forum)
    I've recently seen several Higways Agency vehicles on the M6. They are 4X4's and have police traffic vehicle style colours and blue flashing lights. They usually scare people into keeping to the speed limit (not a bad thing!) but I was wondering what their status is with regard to traffic offences

    195/60/R15 88V's. Need two replacements...the one's on that back (that are staying) are Goodyear Eagle NCT5's. I was wondering what other people think of their tyres, such as the Bridgestone Turanza E300 and Vredistein Sportrac 2 - or if there are any other brands you feel are worthy or to avoid

  • The Miller Cycle 7 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    I see the forthcoming replacement for the Suburu Imprezza uses the Miller cycle technology, which increases efficiency by 10 to 15%. If it is that effective, it seems strange that since this development has been around since the late 1940`s, why other manufacturers have not adopted

  • Select Automotive 29 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    I know this may sound like spam, but anyway... select-automotive.com have got the most unbelievable deals on new Land Rovers- anyone dealt with them before? Their contact address looks a bit dubious, so I'm wondering whether it`s too good to be true. Any advice etc...
  • Devices in Mercedes front wings 13 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    Around london I have noticed small circular black/silver things sunk into the front wings of mercedes cars. I think they may be some kind of security device as they mostly seem to be on s-classes possibly used to transport vips. Does anyone know what these are?

  • Single occupancy cameras 28 Jul 2004 (Forum)
    First Safety Cameras, then police ANPR cameras and their cousins congestion charge cameras. Now, single occupancy monitoring cameras. I guess Two Jags\'ll still be okay though, as he\'s usually chauffeured! http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/video/40429000/rm/_40429175_camera07_foster28_vi.ram
