Grumpy Old Motorist: September 2009
http://grumpyoldmotorist.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
The thoughts and rantings of a 60-a-day (miles that is) British motorist. Thursday, 24 September 2009. Called to the bar. Practically every car I've owned since the late '80s has had its tyre pressure - both in the handbook and on the sticker on the door pillar/fuel flap - quoted in the metric 'bar' measurement. So it puzzles me that every time I use the air line at my local filling station the readout has always been switched to the PSI scale. Why? Sunday, 20 September 2009. They've got your number.

The thoughts and rantings of a 60-a-day (miles that is) British motorist. Tuesday, 7 September 2010. Do not enter the box unless your exit is clear. What's difficult to understand about that? So there I am this morning, sitting in my highly-trained Korean hatchback at the head of a red light queue waiting to turn right. When the lights change, traffic tailing back from temporary lights further down the road I want to turn into means that half a blue van is already in the box and my exit is blocked.

Grumpy Old Motorist: More think tank idiocy
http://grumpyoldmotorist.blogspot.com/2010/01/more-think-tank-idiocy.html
The thoughts and rantings of a 60-a-day (miles that is) British motorist. Monday, 25 January 2010. More think tank idiocy. Here we go again. According to the Telegraph. Something called the Sustainable Development Commission thinks that all motorways should be monitored by average speed cameras to keep people to 70mph and save the planet. Unsurprising when it was set in the 60s and your Ford Anglia or Austin Cambridge would have struggled to go much faster. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Grumpy Old Motorist: March 2011
http://grumpyoldmotorist.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
The thoughts and rantings of a 60-a-day (miles that is) British motorist. Friday, 4 March 2011. DRLs, driving to disaster? As we approach 2012 and the introduction of daytime running lights (DRLs) for all new cars it’s interesting to note that, unlike older Volvos, the latest models have lights at the front only. Of cars I’ve seen lately Citroens Audis and Toyotas all only have DRLs at the front. Let’s hope it falls by the wayside like other strange EU lighting ideas – dim-dip, anyone?

Grumpy Old Motorist: Sigh...
http://grumpyoldmotorist.blogspot.com/2009/12/sigh.html
The thoughts and rantings of a 60-a-day (miles that is) British motorist. Monday, 21 December 2009. Why can't anybody drive in bad weather any more? Watching people struggling to get up the slope out of our office car park was like watching the Keystone Cops. Far too many revs and bags of wheelspin, culminating in getting out to push each other's cars. Then they look astonished when I chug past in the highly trained Korean hatchback with no drama at all. I blame global warming. View my complete profile.

Grumpy Old Motorist: August 2009

The thoughts and rantings of a 60-a-day (miles that is) British motorist. Monday, 31 August 2009. DABbing it here, DABbing it there. Not strictly motoring related, though it will affect car owners and so is just cause for grumpiness. The government is to switch off analogue radio and force everyone on to DAB by 2015. The FM frequencies being sold off for "ultra local" stations. So the treasury can raise a few bob by selling off frequencies - that will then be used for content hardly anyone will listen to.
