I had to go to Sutton last Friday and on arrival found a suitable parking space on road.
Having no change I went to teh bar I was going to do work in and changed a £5 note for £1 coins
On arriving back at my car the warden was placing a ticket on the windscreen and when i explained that I had just gone for change he responded with a 'no you haven't you just want to get off' and carried on photographong my vehicle.
I was under the impression that a reasonable time had to be allowed by wardens for this type of activity and seem to remember reading that 5 mins was deemed reasonable with 5 mins allowed for each hour of parking purchased at the end of the period for over staying the time paid for.
Any one know the law on this point?
I still bought a ticket and then did the job I had arrived to do.

I just bought a car and the seller said it has a remote starter but he doesn't know how to work it. It has a Code Alarm CA-425 remote system with a CA-145 remote. I only know how to lock and unlock the doors with the remote.

I have a '99.. Sometimes when i try to start it, it won't start. it maks a loud annoying noise! Some times it'll do it once, but other times it takes forever to start! I've been told to get a new starter, but I'm afraid it would still do it.. and that's a lot of money. Does this happen to anyone else, or do you have any tips? Thanks.

NO GAS...On May 15th 2007
Don't pump gas on May 15th
In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in
protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.
If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
If you agree (which I can’t see why you wouldn’t) resend this to everyone you know. Subject, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"
PLEASE PASS ASAP

I was thinking of buying a class 8 Semi truck to tow a 53' box trailer converted into an RV. I got the idea from seeing the NASCAR team's rigs, which are very nicely equipped. I think a big rig would make a radical RV, but what kind of hassles will I be faced with? I'll need a commercial license obviously, but what about tax and licensing? When I travel do I have to stop at truck weigh stations? I currently own a 30ft standard RV, and I travel all around the country. I live in AZ. Will a Semi be a good choice for stepping up the size of my rig, or will I be biting off more than is worth chewing? How much does it cost to get a commercial license anyway? I can afford the truck, but how bad will my operating costs be? I hear stuff about semis paying huge taxes. That's only for commercial use though right? The NASCAR guys don't pay commercial rates cause its a privatley used rig, right?

I know NOTHING about cars! All I know is that I should check the pressure every month, but I bought my car in November 2006 and I haven't since.

Does anyone know where I can go to get this done? I know I can't do it myself. And I don't have any friends nearby who could do it for me. Can I go to some full service gas station where a mechanic could do this for me???

Best answer goes to the person who can tell me a place near Redmond/Bellevue, WA!

I started driving a manual car again recently and i have been wondering about two old habits i have while driving stick. Is it ok to

1. Skip gears while driving. Such as going from 2nd to 5th?

2. Put the car in a high gear while going slow. Such as putting it in 5th while going 25 or 30 mph? Also, would that save gas?

We're trying to finance a new car together. We're wanting to do this because we'll both be using it, although he has another car he uses (for work).

The finance department states that he doesn't make enough money, but I do. My credit isn't that good, but his is. Why can't we both do this together?
