Had an issue with my (Mazda) dealer today: The Service Manager had gone home (4 pm) as she only works "school hours"..."Would she be able to ring me by 9:30 tomorrow...? "...Erh NO she won't have started by then....! Nice job ay..?

For those of us who remember it: Comander Jeffrey Sinclair from Babylon 5, shuffled off this mortal coil to the great space station in the sky on Friday.

The new Toyota Auris is going to cost.....

Just had a can of pop containing 41.3g of sugar !! That is 46% of an adults GDA. Not sure if there are any side effects of so much sweet stuff in one go.? will let you know when I come down from the ceiling ! Memo to self: read the bloomin' label before buying/drinking !

It has certainly gone very quiet over in the "Skoda Retailers" section....have you all got your quotas in then.....?

Just noticed that that the "SL Shop" (classic Mercs) in Redditch, Worcs (M5 J4 ish) are advertising for a: Dev Mgr, a Detailer & a Tech. If it's the right job in the right part of the world you never know......might be worth a punt for someone..?

"Autocar" magazine.......

Has just discovered Oreo's...mmm.

Are there some members who only ever post in the "Introduce Yourself" section......" Well hi & welcome...."

How long before a 90's Rover 600 is a collectable classic....? just spotted one in a very overgrown garden. I just know in a few decades time it will be worth a fortune.....or maybe not.

Just for us couch potatoes today......an afternoon of live motor racing from Mallory on Motors TV UK from 1pm.

Mmmmm better watch out for that global warming then...........

Just seen my 1st VW Up ! "on the road" well in a Coop car park & sadly it had a flat ! Do they get a spare or is this an early job for the squirty foam....?

Dacia is urging new & used purchasers to put their buying decisions on hold until they launch on June 28th.....H'mmm...

Just been to my local dealer who have about 12 Octy vRS's in their compound....anybody still waiting...?

Sky Sports F 1 debuts March 9th & I forecast it will be great !...but then again I know nothing......

Creak...rattle....squeek...lurch...thump thump thump...that will be my Fabia vRS then...and you know what ? I still kinda like it....!

Just been observing a "Community Payback" team clearing an icy footpath at the local Country Park. 12 blokes managed to do 30 yds, they then had a fag brake, got into 2 minibuses and went off home. There is no doubt this scheme is a major deterrent....!

Mmmm Seinfeld hasn't worn too well has it....?

My neighbour has just bought the make/model of car I suggested from the dealer I recomended !...suddenly feeling very responsible if things go awry..!

Anybody spot the all black Rolex Pro-Hunter in this months "Car" mag..?. A fine looking item, sadly the price may be a slight stumbling block.......!

How is it that my elderly neighbour looks ok driving his new 1 series cabriolet in a baseball cap but I look a complete and utter tool wearing one in the Fabia......?

New "Smooth 70's" DAB station is pretty good but boy does it make me feel old....!

Just spotted my "old" vRS LE No 58, looks like it is being looked after too....irrelevent I know but makes a fella feel good.....
