Children around the world have simply the best imaginations. They are not fettered by the chains of an adult existence and when it comes to imagining the future direction for cars, there is simply no stopping what they can come up with. It’s a pity more of us don’t look back at that to see […]
Car Articles has previously covered the issue of apparent handbrake failure in some makes of Vauxhall car in two separate articles, namely here – http://www.cararticles.co.uk/uk-vauxhall-hit-by-renewed-faulty-handbrake-alarm.html and here – http://www.cararticles.co.uk/uk-vauxhall-handbrake-problem-part-2.html It looks as though some of you may be getting some satisfaction, though granted this is some years on from the original complaint.

Poor weather is on the way. This includes wind, rain and there’s a forecast for snow this month too (I know, after this sunny reprieve as well!). Cars do not simply maintain themselves.
