This isn't really a NEW thread but an update on my last;) For those who didn't read that: I took my 7 month old Fiesta S1600 in to local Ford dealers as I thought one tyre was showing excess wear:amazed: On the ramp I was told that I needed 2 new alloys:blink::amazed: (they are painted white and...

In replying to misenthrop I noted that I had looked on a site which gave Tests for the driving theory etc. I did the multi-choices and the hazard Tests. I did OK. Anyone fancy trying them?? Don't cheat by re-doing them and see how you get on. The site is: driving-test-success.com The only thing...

While I did the aptitude test I also thought I might add this. Would someone like to check my hypothetical maths theory? The ad for Michelin tyres It states that these will save you 80ltrs over the life of the tyre! There is NO lifespan applicable as driving styles, construction materials etc...

Following an interesting thread on the Record breaking speeds of the new Veyron and SSC Aero I got thinking. A 300mph car IS pointless on the roads and the technologies for tyres as well as other components might put practical limitations to it. Where it may be of use to the 'ordinary'...

Hi guys, If you noted we have been on hols!! We went to France. Starting from Avignon Airport. It is the only airport we have been to with only one plane on the ground:lol: We had hired a car from Avis. The online site offered Fiestas but we got a citroen C3. Not a bad little car, good Aircon...

Whilst I was finishing this other quote reply re "Which lane correct?" I was ready to have lunch. I started to watch TV (The Saint) During the commercial breaks there were 4 ads concerning cars. One for the Land(range?)Rover Sport. It brought to mind a quote as "whats the point?" Maybe HDI might...

Hi, We haven't spoken for a while here hope you are OK:D You will no doubt be glad to hear of a brand new motorcycle that is to be introduced into the world markets soon. It is the Yorimutt 2000! It is quite similar to present bikes in that it is paperthin and can slip through a door without...

Re: Describe the skill of anticipation Q If there are NO road signs what is the speed limit? (I'll give a quote reply AFTER some one answers):blink1::blink1

Hi again All:lol: Just looked thru the HC threads and will be coming back to them soon but as we have had a death of a relative to be dealt with as priority it isn't today:sad2: I DID want to mention something I read about on hols. A guy wrote in to a motoring supplement with this! It seems that...

I have to apologise to everyone:embarrest::embarrest::embarrest: Having asked members to give fuel prices in their area I went online to see IF there were sites where you could find that info! I should have looked first and asked after!! It seems that there are quite a few. It might STILL be an...

Hi all, In these discussions/quotes it seems that most if not all members agree that the HC needs an overhaul. I wonder if you would agree with another of my suggestions?? In whatever form the new HC takes that for each Rule and Law there follows a section which gives the penalty for disobeying...

Hi, As I am always banging on about good & safe drivers this may seem a strange request lol:embarrest: I have said that it can sometimes be a safer option to speed up rather than braking to avoid a crash/prang/ accident about to happen and so..... Other than bombing down a Mway at 2 am (in a...

Hi, I often post in general chat but I recently 'thought' I had added myself to this subsection. There isn't any sign of my initial hello So just to keep updated we have a Zetec S1600 Limited edition (late 10 reg) anyone got any info on facts, views, probs with Zetec Ss??? Cannot get it to...

Hi to all, Especially anyone who has any ideas as to how to repair dent in PLASTIC!!

Re: Fast lane or overtaking lane Would you agree with me that the PM ought to look at a scheme whereby drivers take another Test after say 3 yrs? So that standard are kept up and road safety and deaths altered for the good of all. In closing this Yes I DO agree that the HC needs a radical...

Hi, I have decided to join this forum because we have just bought our ford Fiesta Zetec S1600. The limited edition white with blue stripes. I am not a petrolhead. Not interested in the Top Gear style of driving (though I DO like JC) I just thought that, perhaps; talking on a forum as to what I...
