    "Crap" on TV

    Apparently Steed was a bit of a reluctant driver....but regardless there are lots of really nice cars from this era usually on display in the Avengers, unless you are easily distracted elsewhere of course..

    That new Toyota SUV Hybrid thingy , surely it has been "designed" by a 10 yr old with an etch-a-sketch and a blunt pencil..?

      Refreshing to see something different and if it is not your cup of tea you just avoid.

    The local Garden Centre seems to have seemlessly moved from "Its Summer BBQ time" to "Its Christmas Time" overnight.

      They've done it before October. I believe you are legally obliged to burn the store to the ground now.

      I'm afraid all us retailers are at it. Apparently, customer research dictates that we all want to buy baubles and trees now...

      Boots was starting to load shelves with Xmas crap at lunchtime. I'm going back later on with some petrol and matches.

    Honestly.....the "BBC Weather App" is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard.

      Guy in the BBC just sits there looking out the window and presses another button if weather changes

      If I click on the 'map key' Eastbourne apparently has a light risk of snow today (it's currently 26c in the coolest part of my house.

    Having now seen about a half dozen Jaguar F Pace around and about I can confidently confirm it sure looks like a Kia.

    Having spent a lot of time recently in new car showrooms I have been shocked at the gigantic proportions of some SUV's.., no doubt this explains why some drivers of them truly believe they are "kings of the road"..!..?

      Some of these folk drive SUVs as though they're in a Sherpa tank. Last week one of them jumped a red light on a busy road, which I was about to join from the minor road. Silly me, fancy imagining that a green light gave me the right of way??? Thank goodness for seat belts, or my sudden heavy breaking would have caused my head to make a dent in the windscreen.

    In todays "tyre kicker & new car showroom lurker report"....I can confirm to any interested parties that the new Suzuki Baleno is a nice shape and relatively roomy but a bit doo doo inside..my money would be on a Fabia.

    Hi Dave, I am sure that others will have touched on the technical side of the ownership experience, from my brief tenure with a VRS estate (only a few months ) the stand out negative issue to be aware of is the surprisingly harsh ride. It isn't a problem for many but certainly check it out before purchase would be my advice.

    My neighbours Fiesta is 3 yrs old this month, his road tax renewal letter included a "this vehicle requires an MOT" note in the info section, so in essence a reminder....?

    Just finished clambering all over the new MG GS SUV at the local dealers...I have to say for the money it don't look half bad.

    According to the lady doing the voiceover in the latest TV/Radio ads there is now an "R" in the middle of "Fabia"...anyone get the memo about this change.....?

    One phone call and a bit of a whinge results in a 50 quid reduction in the car insurance premium..isn't it a bit bloomin stupid that we have to do this dance every year...?

      Apparently it's "too hard" for almost any company to give their best deals to continuing customers.

      Made the same phone call to my insurance company and got the same result. Was told "It gives the Company the opportunity to review individual circumstances". Yeah... sure...

      Never have to do it with my insurance broker (though I ring others for comparison), they give their best quote first time and generally beat others :)
