Clockers do you think this new law will stop the dealers messing with the clocks? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/8640108/Crackdown-on-clockers.html

Always thought this sumed up things very well when it first appeared.... Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). …

I hope all Members have had an enjoyable and trouble Free Motoring Coronation Weekend, back to the Grindstone unfortunately on Tuesday. Best Wishes to All BAZZER RN 1

I was just looking on You Tube at this video ! I love cruising, but this would put anyone off ! :P

This is just no good for me at my time of life, I now need a few strong drinks and a lay down in a dark room!! After logging on this afternoon the first thing I see is an ad for Ann Summers!! I can vaguely remember most of it where it went and even how to remove it but what came next has completely gone!!!! 🤣

What is your worst experience with a main dealer? Any stories to tell?

Do you think there is too many disabled car parking spaces in supermarket stores etc.. ? Or should there be more?

Just heard on the news they are doing away with handbrakes on new cars and just relying on the electronic brake system, That should be good fun on Hill Starts. !!!!!

Has anyone been on the driving awareness course? Was the driving awareness course beneficial or a waste of time?

I get most of my execise thses days from shaking ny head in disbelief £8m a day for hotels for asylum seeks, Wilco to reopen, looks like away of getting rid of all the old staff and recruting all new on minimum wage of course, why not its been done before including the armed forces and police get rid of the experience and replace with ???????????????

Hi Members For my own interest sake I have just carried out an experiment on Petrol Fuel with my 2008 Honda Exec 1977cc Mk 3 Manual Gear change Vehicle after having a full service done with new Spark Plugs ,All new Filters and Engine Oil Changed. So to begin with I nearly emptied the Fuel Tank which was showing Low Fuel and then filled up half way up with a well known Supermarket Brand Unleaded Fuel ,It seemed to be okay, few little starting problems which I put down to the weather and a couple of hiccups from the Engine which had never happened before, Then after the Tank showed Low on Fuel I filled up half way again with Esso Unleaded Petrol of the same grade…

See the fuel prices are on the up again, same every year at hoilday time the prices always go up. Many years ago I managered a service station (Chevron Oil Co) !!! and the prices were always increased at those times because people are normally going out and about more. Remember - Texaco, Regent, Total, anymore??????

I had a fun day in a Lotus Evora at Castle Combe Circuit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGEsYTHz6Ak We started with an 8.40 briefing then it was time to hit the track at 9am. After scoffing down a hearty breakfast and a strong coffee we then went for a trial run of the track with one of Castle Combe's safety guys, who was a racing driver in his younger years! The car used was an Abarth Punto with 4 of us inside, we did 2 laps at a steady pace but then this saftey guy (who was in his 60's) floored it. We were amazed how this guy could keep up with Lotus Exige and a Jaguar XK-R and how good the car handled. This guy really knew how to throw a car around and he looked so re…
