Leaving cars unlocked  in Driving

19 July 2007, 10:23 AM

Eek. You don't see THAT much these days. A bloke got out of his last-generation 3-Series coupe outside a newsagent's as I was walking past. He left the engine running and the car unlocked.

  • Horns of a dilemma  in Driving

    10 September 2007, 10:47 AM

    There are two good uses for your car's horn. One, the gentle prod, is to encourage the person in front of you to notice that the lights have turned to green. The other good use, the louder one, is a way of saying 'please don't kill me'.

  • Rules? What rules?  in Driving

    11 October 2007, 12:34 PM

  • Great car, so long as you don't drive it  in Cars

    8 May 2007, 10:37 AM

    The latest Land Rover Defender has just gone on sale, which reminded me about a disturbing episode from 10 years ago. I thought I'd succeeded in blocking the memory out, but now it's back.

  • I have seen the future, and it's just round the corner  in Cars

    21 March 2007, 3:31 PM

    You may be familiar with the John Carpenter film Dark Star, set on a space ship in which much of the equipment fails to work much of the time. I blame that movie for making me instinctively distrustful of technology... well, that and my Fiat Uno, which didn't have very much technology, but everything it did have went wrong.

  • Blow me down  in Driving

    21 September 2007, 10:16 AM

    Your life just got better, although you may not know it yet. Why? Because the loos at Toddington services have been fitted with Dyson Airblade hand driers. Everyone dries their hands, and everyone goes to Toddington services sooner or later.

  • Are the greens going to turn us into zombies?  in Environment

    3 April 2007, 3:58 PM

    Zombie movies - from 28 Days Later , which is on Film4 tonight, to Shaun of the Dead  - are back. But this time it's not nuclear fear that's helping us identify with the living dead, it's global warming. Just like 30 years ago, some people are saying that the only safe, responsible, forward-thinking response to the threat is to stay at home and keep your head down.

  • Raikkonen 'n' roll  in Media

    9 July 2007, 10:00 AM

    Like the Arctic Monkeys, Lewis Hamilton has moved on to the big stage in a state of near perfection. A winner! A champion! And everyone wants to be associated with him, from P Diddy to Jackie Stewart, in much the same way that everyone from the Sugarbabes to Tom Jones has been busy covering I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor.
