    This Years Formula 1

    There is a lot of nationalism and immaturity in Sport. UK, is as bad as any other when it comes to the nationalism, witness the pro McClaren / anti Ferrari stance in these columns and the reverse view in Italy. This is generally echoed by the Press and disappointingly, also, what I would like...

    Comand Is Rubbish

    and excuse me for not having read all posts but an original system is not going to get stolen nor will it be the cause of the car being broken into. My mother in law parked her Golf for one night outside her house instead of in the garage and it was broken into because of teh Tom-tom holder...

    snake oil anyone?

    Years ago I had an American colleague, an engineer, who rigged his car up with a Squeezy bottle containing water, on the dashboard, connected by a tube to the carburettor. He would drive along and occasionally give the bottle a squeeze. It may have worked but this was just considered to be...

    Auto trader - responses!!!!

    When I clicked on the Auto T link there was only 1 picture. You need every angle and teh inside covered to show that the car is perfect. The pano roof could be a good selling feature - can you get a photo that shows the benefits of it. Your car looks like all the others and pictures help the...

    Plasmas and LCDs - Ecowarriors at it again!

    I guess our homes favourite log fires are very ungreen but there I was thinking we were being all eco. What I really enjoy is splitting all those logs. It keeps me really warm but I may let off one or two unexpected gases as I try to split a big one. There it goes again, wallop, bang, pfft.

    Don't worry, I am sure your friendly tax inspector will think of something that satisfies him.

    Build some classic Mercs again

    I remember watching a programme some time ago where they reviewed the 300 SL Gullwing that fetches mega prices today. It said, of the Gullwing 'It was produced at a time when Mercedes was not doing well and was an attempt to build an attractive image for the marque. It was put together mainly...

    This Years Formula 1

    What would be the difference in lap times and results if you sacked half of today's F1 drivers and replaced them with the top half of F3 drivers? Let's say give them a week to do some test driving and practice with their team. I say the top half just to eliminate any playboys with too much...

    How strange I had just sent a submission to an agent when I saw this. You can get a list of agents on www.writersservices.com. It is an extremely useful site for writers. I also have the Writers and Artists Yearbook but most of what you want should be on that site. I have just finsihed my...

    Quite agree - no opera singers, pop singers or gospel singers, let the crowd do it. It will be the rousing, inspiring Marseillaise against teh rather dull God Save teh Queen. Any chance of Pomp and Circumstance?

    Top Gear

    Years ago I tackled some mountain passes, as shown in the prog. My idea now would be a smooth, quiet, automatic, power steering, oodles of a/c, some decent music and ideally a train onto which we could drive to take us under or round the pesky, irritating obstacle. If that woudl then allow me...

    Useless diesel's

    Does it matter? Some of the best racing that I can remember was many years ago watching Jim Clark's Lotus Cortina, battling it out with a Ford Galaxy (American) V8. Why do we have to have cars following identical formulas that end up with giving cars more or less the same characteristics when...

    I think that both we and the French are very lucky to have got this far. Last time we were an on form team, getting better, just like the All Blacks and Aussies. I am still scratching my head. The amazing thing is one of either England or France will be in the final. Some of my colleagues do...

    Be consoled that it was we English (amazed at our own success) much preferring a game against Les Bleus, who refereed your match. And a great pity that Fiji could not eject the jolly old 'boks. They must have nervous spasms now when it is suggested they play an Islands team.
