I think it might have been in iceland , off roading on icy terrain like glaciers. I want a picture or even better .mpeg video of this. Any ideas? links?

They are always telling you that you shouldn't keep your engine running or use your cell phone or get into your car while pumping gas. Haven't studies shown that it's extremely rare that any of these things could really start a fire at the pump from sparks or static electricity?

I would like to buy a car that is economical in terms of fuel... i.e. diesel. I would also like to know the CSD (Canteen stores Dept.) price for the car. In my opinion, Tata Indica would be most appropriate here. however, i have heard that its not a good deal in the long run. my only concern is the fuel, as we travel a lot, and offcourse the budget as well, which is strictly 3 lakhs. Please suggest, what would be the best option for me here (including the 2nd hand ones). Also, would anybody be knowing the CSD price for Tata Indica.

I got a letter from the police about my car being involed in an incident and have been asked to provide the usual details. Thing is i have somehow missplaced my insurance cover note - when i rang them they refused to give me a replacement with out any more details of why! i won't get these details till i give my insurance in- the lady at the station was shocked by my insurance companies behaviour sayaing they should have given me it. Now i will prob get prosecuted for not be able to produce my insurance aswell as the other thing! What do you reckon?

P.S. admiral are ruining my life! my opinion is nobody should insure themselves with admiral!
