Much as I completely disagree with everything the EDL stand for, I find it slightly ironic, that during an EDL "march" it appears that 2 EDL members were arrested, while 150 people protesting against the march were arrested. Makes you wonder who the law abiding citizens are? EDL leader...

Given the events of today which shall not be mentioned (lest the forum descend into riotous political "debate"), I was wondering, is it still considered bad form to speak ill of the recently departed?

Parked up at our new house this morning (being renovated before we move in) to take some photos of the front garden being dug up and heard an almighty bang! Thought "what was that" and then realised a car had hit my car from behind! The other guy's insurance company (Same group as mine) have...

Car in the garage for an MOT and has just failed on unbalanced front brakes. MOT tester says however the cause of the imbalance is one of the brakes is "grabbing". They will try to look at it this afternoon but I am impatient and wonder what the cause (and possible cost!) might be? Car is...

When I bought my W203 2 years ago, I bought some new floor mats (it didn't come with any). The ones I got (not original Mercedes) looked good and looked to be hard wearing. One of the things that attracted me to them was that the driver's mat had a decent "heel pad". Great I thought as this...
