Yes, I thought that was the whole point of "smart"motorways and variable speed limits - not just "add a lane" and let it go to ratshit. I’ve noticed that they’ve stopped calling them Smart Motorways , the signs now say “ Preparing forDigital Motorways” Makes me think back to the...

That Escort on the ferry looks like it might be a Harrier. Not taxed since 1983 barely made its first MoT, either nicked and rung or stripped crashed, rallied or More likely all of the above!

This is an aspect of Cabbies Corner that could very quickly start to sound like a Carry On or worse a Confessions Of film. When I did this sort of thing I was a a lot younger and fitter also it was dark so my ( and their) ugliness wasn’t an issue, for that reason I’m taking The Fifth. I’d agree with...

Well, that bit of RSJ certainly did it’s job, presume it was to stop wagons knocking the end off the wall not high speed Passat, though.

I haven’t done an honest nights work on a circuit since 1999 and then only in genteel Milton Keynes. I’m sure I’ve recounted my 2 serious incidents before, but I liked a bit of a ruck and some excitement as much as the next youngish man, full of piss and vinegar. Getting to drive like a twat to the ...

Canuck Yank. https://uploads.carandclassic.co.uk/uploads/cars/ford/13362393.jpg https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1247106 That’s lovely and not a bad price. But it’s a good job the seller didn’t visit Canada in 1963 , because they didn’t and most of Canada never did drive on the left. I think pr...

I hate these twatty scooters as much as the next man, and hopefully the cunt on the M3 will get properly nicked, but calling out a 16 tonne recovery vehicle to a motorway probably cost the taxpayer £2/300 , there is no way this or presumably the time they sat on the hard shoulder waiting- most dange...

And down the road lives the BBMF at Coningsby, two Lancs a few miles apart. When we visited the BBMF one of the other visitors asked where on earth you went to for Lancaster bits, the guide said that there was still a surprising amount of new stuff about but if they got stuck they knew 2 brothers w...

I don’t take any notice of the 70 limit, so why would I obey the 60 ? Saying that, it seems Essex have got their “smart” cameras set to 70 when there’s not a lower limit in force. Most of the country , slowing down to 80ish for the cameras is safe enough. This will mean more people slamming their br...

191 inches versus 186 inches length, at least according to Wiki.
None of this metric bollocks in Chaddersville.

Predictably a new Insignia Sports Tourer is bigger , at 193 inches.
Much the same as a Mondeo dwarfs Granny’s and Zodiacs.
