Meredydd Hughes, who is head of road policing for the Association of Chief Police Officers is to be prosecuted for speeding, after doing 90 mph in a 60 zone in North Wales in May. 3 points on his licence maybe? A fine in line with the speed he was doing? Or will he get away with it on a technicality or by coming up with some story that will let him off the hook?

im completely in love with audi TT for its roundly shape and cute design. but its 2 door and doesnt seem much efficient
so i considered getting audi a4 which is about 5k cheaper than TT but of course the design is worse than TT (in my view)
and im also looking at those BMW 3 series but im completely disappointed its newly redesigned models especially the sedan, the coupe looks ok but '08 models are not in market yet and the design for 08 might change
above all of that i m eager to buy infiniti g37 and i asked quote and it turned out to be way too expensive though it has higher technical performance (like v6 which i dont need)
and also i highly value the acura's TL and TSX but their design look sick..
Benz C class's interior design also looks kinda cheap (some say C-class is not even considered as benz lol)
lexus models have kinda aged fashion

so my top list is those audi and infiniti but there are some obstacles as i explained above

what would you suggest (plz no other manufacturers

I have a 2001 Saturn SL2 that I bought in June it's been nothing but a headache. Recently I thought about trading it in because of all the money I've put in it. Outside of a tune up and two oil changes, I've gotten a new starter and a new water pump (more than 800 on everything) and the service engine light is back on. Also the first time I washed the car, the paint on the hood started to chip off (and little pieces are still coming off) I'm thinking I should trade it in soon because it's getting cold and I need a dependable car since I drive more than 100 miles a week just going to college and back for the two days that I have to be on campus. I don't want it break down on me and I don't know if I should invest anymore money in it. My mom says pay it off first because I still owe $4000 on it but my safety is a big concern for me. What do you guys think? I've put more than 6,000 miles on this car in only 6 months but I did take one big road trip (about 300 miles).

Im want to add some L.E.D.s to my car, and I wanted to do it in Parallel, I know in speakers it reduces the impedence of them. I was wondering if it has some kind of similar effect for lights, or if its just a straight wiring and adding a resistor to each of the LEDs. (12v car battery with 470 Ohm resistors for Blue LEDs)

Hello all :-)

So I have a 1997 BMW 528i, 83K miles. Last January, I noticed the temperature gauge work towards the "red zone" when I was stopped at a red light or in traffic, and when I accelerated it went back to normal. Carmax replaced the thermostat and bled the coolant, and replaced it with new coolant. It worked for 3 months, and then the same thing happened again. This time, Carmax replaced the cooling fan clutch. Now it is doing the same thing again. What is going on? I also have started to hear a roaring noise when accelerating from a cold start, and although I recently had the transmission replaced, there is still a sharp kick when switching gears.

Okay, I just bought a Blue Ox Advanta tow bar and while I've yet to print out and study the instructions, the set up looks pretty self-explanatory. I've also read the manual on my Jeep Wrangler on how to set up the tranny for towing, etc., so no problem there. Electrical is set up, too. My question is this: Any magic to setting the tow bar with vehicle "free wheeling" behind it? In other words, (like I did on a different Korean War Jeep), just pull it with the steering on the jeep free, right? Also (subject to my review of the Blue Ox plans when I print them), any particular set up needed when I hook the receiver in, hook the pins and safety chains up, etc.? Please only those that have experience towing like / kind. Thanks

I am having an issue with my 05 Cavalier randomly starting or stalling. I would turn over, then when shifted into gear it would die, wait about 15 seconds and then try again, and it would fire up and run with no issues. it got progressivly worse, changed the relay switch for the fuel pump, fuel filter and even the battery (that I killed on my own though). After changing the battery that seem to clear up the issue for about 4 days and it is back to the same old scenario. I can hear the fuel pump engage when I turn on the battery, but it wouldn't start now. Any ideas if it is something wrong the fule pump or fuel injectors? Also when I got the battery replace I had Autozone do there free code read and that came back with no error codes.
