    4000rpm limit

    noticed occasionally over the past week that the car (W210 320cdi) wont rev past 4000rpm whilst driving. If you take it up steadily then it will stutter and then drop off. But if you drive it hard then the engine seems to just die - well not quite but the revs drop to about 2500. Normal...

    Limit on garage size reversed to bring drivers back off the streets

    Good God. An outbreak of common sense involving cars! :eek: "A decade after the Government ordered developers to discourage car ownership by making it difficult to park, a local authority has produced new guidance that acknowledges that the policy has failed. Far from reducing car usage...
