We’ve had all sorts of car-related problems but yesterday we had a new one. I got in the car for a short trip and found a bird had pooped on the windscreen (I suspect a pigeon – more about that later). So of course I just tapped...

They agree with us!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 5 Feb

Modern cars are being made with more and more gadgets and electronic gizmos to allegedly ‘help’ the driver. Well yes inbuilt SatNav could be handy, if you were going to a strange place and it was easy to use, but otherwise I don’t...

The Right-Hand Drive Car

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 24 Oct 24

Right-hand drive cars shocked me when I initially arrived in Hong Kong. It makes me feel this way at the time because I'm accustomed to seeing things the opposite way around in my nation. I pondered whether switching from...

Last week, I had my jeep into the shop to get it diagnosed and fixed. Now that it's back to normal, I'm free to drive it around town without any 'strange hick-ups' or stalling. This vehicle has been my favorite vehicle. I talk...

Bensen32 @Bensen32 (28658) • United States 20 May 24

I just read about another Mass Collison. This time a Dodge Ram pickup and a Chevy Van. Seriously, we need stricter laws or to ban them all together, background checks or something. I mean who really needs vehicles? Six dead...

A mixed sort of day

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 25 Feb 24

@TheHorse asked ‘How is your Sunday shaping up?’ so here’s a report of my day. I woke up early, but I was so warm and cosy I didn’t want to get up, so I snuggled down again hoping to go back to sleep. But of course I didn’t, just...

Gosh he has a good memory!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 18 Jul 23

I just called my local garage to book my car in for an MOT test. In the UK all vehicles over three years old have to have a test of ‘roadworthiness’ to check brakes, lights etc. once a year. Without the test certificate, your...
