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…

Hi Guys & Gals I am thinking about pre booking a Holiday to Portugal Next Year , Has anyone a favourite place, I always go to Majorca but next year I am thinking of a change of scenery, I have a young Family so will be looking for a Hotel near the Beach with Hotel Activities i.e. Large Pool, Water Slides and activities for the Kids, I would like to book an all Inclusive Holiday for about a 10-14 days as Kids are always snacking and drinking on Holiday and can if not careful cost a fortune on food and drinks, so Inclusive seems to be the way to go. We live near to Bournemouth so again Flights to Portugal from Bournemouth Airport would be a bonus as less travelling…

Sun, Sea and I'm too old to remember what the other was, Brazzer RN 1 will know!! You all enjoy yourself I'll like after the shop!! My old dad use to use his hanky as a sun hat - tie a knot at each corner and off you go..... I can remember as a kid having a knitted looking/feeling swimming trunks, ok till they go wet, and when you came out of the water the crotch was full of wet sand and round your knees.... My mother used to put Baby Oil (steady it's my mother) on as sun tanning oil - it was all the rage! Then when we were all red as beetroot we were covered in Calamine lotion that turned into a white powder.... Happy Days

With all the doom and gloom that our lords and master are creating, what happen to Statemen (or women) that lead this country?? Hope you can have a laugh if this opens. Alan One for the girls!.mp4

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee si…

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??????

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 think in respect of the BMW Driver who sadly died in the M27 Accident on Friday I must change the Topic Heading to a SAD TRIP and send all our condolences to the Drivers Family

Today I'm giving a Friend a lift to Southampton Docks as She is off on a 14 day Cruise to New York on the QE2 , I have never been on board the Ship but to all accounts it's like a floating Luxury Hotel . My time at Sea was spent in the Royal Navy as a Diver with small Ships and a couple of Submarines not as Luxurious as this . but with good Friends and saw the World. BAZZER RN 1

You get put inside for 17 years for something you didn't do and when you get out because they made a mistake, there's talk about you paying for accommodation etc. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! out of any compensation you may get.

Having been around a good few years I wonder why they no longer fit indicators to such cars as BMW and Merc's, why people around here drive in the centre of the road and park on corners, and park in 2 parking bays, yep had a bad morning!!! Alan

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

Hi, I own a 2005 hinda frv. It has developed a persistent shake. So much so you can't see from the rear view. I've had the wheels checked for ballanced but the shake remains. From what I've read, inner cv joint could be the issue. I'm looking to replace both front drive shafts but I'm having a rough time try to track some down. I'm hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. Also I've had fault code run to check for possible miss fire which was all clear apart from my persistent kick sensor fault code .

As a recent Administrator I would like to wish all Honda Owners a Very Happy Easter and trouble free Motoring Best Wishes to All BAZZER RN 1

I got pulled over for no tags, because I'd just got the car. The officer then proceeded to breathalyze me! Imagine his surprise when not only did I supply the proper paperwork but also pass the breathalyzer test. I was profiled because my del sol is red and I'm a relatively young driver. What's your worst story?

Do any of you have nick names for your car? Berty, Gerty? Mines christine as it’s got a mind of it’s own LOL

Do you folks think law enforcement cameras are an invasion of privacy?
