Cars & Transportation - 11 July 2006

I heard that it is pointless to store a car for two or three years because all the gaskets will dry up and rot away? It is true? I have a 98 Explorer, which is paid off, under 70,000 miles, but I like it. I am willing to store it in a indoor storage unit. Will it be okay if I come back and run it for a week every 6 months or so or is it best to just give it to charity or sell it? What are the disadvantages to storing it...if any? Thanks so much for your help with this!

Do police officers have to make themselves visible to raod users when completing speed checks. Even if the car is marked or unmarked. And if requested do they have to produce there calibiration certificate.

They usually seem to be pointing at the middle lane of the motorway from a bridge, sometimes there are two (one above the inside lane and one over the middle lane). There are similar looking 'cameras' (if that's what they are, they don't look like normal CCTV cameras) at the side of the road on blue posts, usually with two cameras mounted on top. Are they cameras? If so, what are they being used for?

Is it a legal requirement to have caravan insurance to tow it on the roads, I know to repalce it etc you need insurance but just to tow an old van for one weekend a year is it worth it, other than to be legal on the roads.

I'm relatively afraid of heights, and I hate the feeling of free-falling. Flying in an airplane- like a commercial jetliner, not a Cessna- is scary for me. Scary, but I'll do it. Now even though I love helicopters, I've always been too afraid to fly in one. Is a helicopter flight more likely to give you that terrifying, zero-G feeling you get on an airplane's descent? Oh, and when I say I love helicopters, I mean I'm SUPER into them! Am I totally wrong to think that I'd be too scared to enjoy myself?

For the cost of a caravan you could take many expensive long haul holidays around the world.

But no - instead people would prefere to pay thousands of pounds for a tin box on wheels that they have to tow around with a maybe more expensive vehicle that they would possibly buy if they had no caravan to tow. They pay daily parking fee's at caravan sites to park this wonderful tin box - and park on a site with hhundreds of other mobile tin box owners -and they piss off every motorist on the road in the process.

I've got a BMW M3 with SMG II gearbox and the latest 2006 software. Seems to be jerky on moderate speed take offs. Upshifting helps a bit . Throttle seems top make things worst.
