| Paging SteveH: that electronic ciggy you bought. | 10 Jan 2009 19:42 GMT | 10 |
Is it any good. I'm trying to quit again. Patches don't always work for me and sometimes the smoking craving is too great.

| Pay at pump - selfish drivers | 10 Jan 2009 19:34 GMT | 301 |
The Shell garage I use is busy (it's a lot cheaper than everywhere else around here). All the pumps (except the LPG ones which is a slight annoyance) have a pay at the pump credit card reader, yet I almost never see anyone bothering to use it. Instead they all selfishly queue ...

| "Foreign" cars being towed away if not taxed after 6 months in UK | 10 Jan 2009 19:31 GMT | 124 |
As seen on the BBC this morning. What's this all about, then? What difference does it make in being able to trace a car's owner if it's been here six months or one week? And isn't dependence on cameras at the ports of entry a little unreliable in establishing how long a

| What did she mean? | 10 Jan 2009 03:20 GMT | 3 |
'twas a bright and lovely Saturday in Coventry. I was returning to my parked car when I saw two well-worn cars stopped in a roundabout with two ladies bickering. It seemed that the inner one wanted to leave the roundabout and the outer one wanted to

Two major accidents in / around the Leeds area. One on M62 between junc 26 and 27 westbound. Another on the ring road near Dry Salters pub. Heard the M62 incident was someone had 'fallen' onto the carriageway. If anyone is planning a journey to Leeds, be aware both incidents ...

Had my car in for it's yearly service & MOT today, it failed. As the current MOT does not run out till the 4th of Jan what is the legal position of driving it till then? Can't get the car in to do the repairs until next Monday but may want to

| The morning scrape..... | 08 Jan 2009 20:05 GMT | 154 |
Being retired, and used to sleeping until somewhere between 8am and 8.30 am, I become increasingly irritated by my thoughtless neighbours who insist on leaving their cars on their driveways, rather than use their garages, and then wake me up at regular intervals from 5.50am ...

Steve, you mentioned earlier that you'd rather wait for the rescue services. So you'd prefer to wait for help, possibly an hour or so? What would you do in the mean time? sit in your car or stand in a field. It makes much more sense to either pump the tyre up(2 - 3 mins) or

| Fuel cell question | 07 Jan 2009 19:53 GMT | 115 |
Is there any technical reason why fuel cells that use petrol can't be build (I imagine diesel would be too thick)? I realise this means they'd still release CO2 but wouldn't the fuel consumption would be a lot less than piston engines because of all the advantages of being

| Is Safespeed a charity? | 07 Jan 2009 08:42 GMT | 4 |
A thread started to highlight the credibility issue of safespeed supporters is probably not best served by linking to a forum used by safespeed supporters who think a drunk driver killing someone is funny. We've already had a post from here that claimed a cyclist

| Car washing | 06 Jan 2009 20:15 GMT | 7 |
Why on earth did people decide that yesterday was a good day for washing the car? Not only would it have been a bitter and unpleasant experience, with the temperature reaching the giddy heights of freezing (yes, that's a MAXIMUM of
