scary

We were coming back from a holiday on the boat today, Norfolk to Lancashire. At that place where the M67 joins the M60 (I think, I was driving, directions by my husband), there was a lovely '15 Merc with two of those sort of triangular exhausts standing stationary, with a Merc Rescue Van behind...

Was travelling on the A102 towards the Blackwall Tunnel today, slowed down for some traffic, and the car completely cut out and couldn't be re-started. Almost rear-ended by two buffoons who weren't looking where they were going - very scary, waiting for the impact. Anyhow, 4 hours later, I'm...

BBC News - M6 wrong way lorry driver Pal Korbely jailed I can't begin to imagine what this must have been like!

Hi I came out this morning this morning to find the drivers side front tyre on my S211 flat. No problem, I'll just take it to the local tyre place and see if they can repair it. When I got there and they put it on the ramp they told me "you better come and see this". The Conti Sport Contacts...

Just had my car mot. Garage spotted that brake discs and pads were different sizes with pads too large for discs! Fitted discs were wrong part (280mm fitted but should have been 320mm if memory serves me correctly). I looked back through the service history. Pads and discs changed about 3...

On the way into work this morning I had to get Diesel for the works van . The light had come on on the way home last night , so I didn't want to chance going too far with it and went to the BP station in the local village . Part way through filling up I noticed the numbers were ramping up...

Today in Dumbarton a Lorry made a nice big diesel spill all over the Barloan Toll roundabout. Strathclyde police were quickly on the scene to divert traffic away from the roundabout via other routes in Dumbarton, and they also took control of managing the traffic as opposed to the lights. The...

I am 15 and have my restricted licence in New Zealand, I recently went for a long drive to get out of the disfunctional household of mine and i found myself being folowed for 1 hr by an undercover cop on the motorway. The scary thing is that I was exceeding the speed limit of 100Km/h by 20km/h...

Not getting any luck with a decent 190e so have been looking at BMW 3 series and the reviews are terrible for reliability and cost to repair:(:(

Driving down the motorway the other day & making a beeline for a favourite curvy offramp, I hit the brakes quite late-ish to knock off some speed & the pedal goes nearly all the way down with very little braking going on. Pumped it a couple of times VERY quickly & pressure returned enough to...

Hi, Sat in my office today, which is in the area of a scrap yard, and bored I used a website my friend had let me know about. It basically tells you the make and model of the car, and whether it is insured (or at least on the database) or not when you enter the registration number. I entered...

Hi Everyone I am a comparatively new member to the club and this is my first post on the forum. As a non-mechanic, I will try to explain my recent experience and hope that you can understand what I mean. I have been a fan of W124s for many years and after a great deal of looking and research, I...

This is posted on PistonHeads. Not sure of the provenance of the photos, quoted speed or the assertion that the driver emerged unscathed, but LOOK AT THE STATE OF IT! :crazy: That is some serious impact force. However, since it's a LHD car the exact driver's seat area appears undamaged...
