Just looking at a route from Tattershall in Lincolnshire to Mablethorpe on the coast, via Alford. I'm trying to avoid a route with too many steep gradients (towing). I know that the route from Horncastle to Louth (A153?) has a couple of HUGE hills on it - whenever driving that ...

Had a puncture at 70+ on the M6 yesterday and wrote off a tyre. Was a bit miffed to discover that the spare wheel on my Renault Grand Scenic was only rated for 50mph and limited distance. I was assured when I bought the car that the spare was full size (which it is) and had ...

| tyre inflating foam | 29 Aug 2006 14:13 GMT | 7 |
As part of the bit of kit I carry round in the boot I came across this tyre inflating foam by Car Plan in Asda the other day. It's used as a 'get you home' in the event of a small puncture. To use it you first deflate the tyre completely, then attach the nozzle to the valve and ...

Has someone been nicking your tyres? Why every two weeks? I would expect them to go at about the same time, as they should have had the same amount of wear.

Not too happy about early this morning.. Driving back from Suffolk, I decided to take the A14 all the way along to the start of the M6.. Where the A14 splits off the A1 near Huntingdon, they've got some roadworks. Now. These deserted roadworks

Who saw the recent TV program showing cars being confiscated for crushing? Did you see the delight on the faces of some of the cops! Some of the police on UK's streets would not pass psychological tests, take the 159 mph driver for example.

| Insurance is a scam | 28 Aug 2006 17:19 GMT | 47 |
Ok if you think about this for a minute it m akes no sense. You basically pay "them" incase s**t happens and if your lucky nothing happens so they should give you your money back or at least some of it after they take a small admin fee. Is only fair. But nope you get nothing, you ...
