    Tyre hotels

    Just reading up on winter tyres and it seems the popular thing to do is storing your tyres at the tyre fitters or somewhere else for six months until you need them again. Its a popular thing in Europe and something I think I might use. What do you think, is it a service you'd contemplate...

    Number plate question.

    Just wondering if anyone know the law for grouping letters on a number plate. I've been reading the DLVA section on the directgov site regarding the rules for number plates but I can't find a answer on grouping letters. It says any plate made after 1 September 2001 must show the letters in...

    Car park dings.

    Come back to the car today to find not one but two dents in the door & a paint chip, I could have cried. :( In all the time I had the MG I never got one dent. Some people just don't any consideration when it comes to other peoples property. :mad:

    Well the MG's gone.

    Don't get me wrong the car was great to drive but I never really 'clicked' with it & as a result I just couldn't work up enough enthusiasm to do anything with it or spend any money on it. Add the fact the fuel economy was starting to do my head in and it was clear it was time to get rid :amuse...

    How will you buy your next car?

    When your in the market for another car how do you go about it? Do you set your heart on a certain model & read up all you can about it? Or are you more of an opportunist & have a mooch around & see what's available for your budget?

    Speaker baffles.

    This a new one on me. Closed cell foam pockets that you sit the speaker in before mounting it in the door, the idea is the baffle will protect the speaker from water & dirt. I like the idea but... won't that ruin the sound? :confused...

    Do you wave?

    Back in the day when Smarts were still a novelty (& I was mad enough to own one) there was a good club atmosphere & fellow owners would flash & wave when seeing another owner. Do you get the same camaraderie when out in your car or do you think it's become a thing of the past? :)
