    I was nearly hit on a roundabout this morning when I decided to pull out just as the engine decided it wanted to turn itself off to be 'green'.

    There are some things in my car I don't want to be automatic.

    Yes. I seriously hate that in cars. I remember on a press trip once test-driving such a vehicle in the streets around Jaguar's plant in Coventry. I found it utterly disconcerting.

    I sometimes used to have this problem where the car would decide to speed up as I am turning a corner.

    On a side note. My car has been recalled
    Of course they can't fix it during the weekend and they close at 6pm so I will have to take time off work to get it sorted.

    I have the same with mine, it's the airbags, so I've just left it.

    Apparently they need wrap some wires with shielding on mine otherwise it's a fire hazard or something.
    On the letter it says it will take approximately 30 minutes.

    After calling them they said oh no it will take a day and there is something else we need to do too.

    This will cheer you up, f. It's the Tube's 155th birthday today.

    I know because my phone just told me for some reason I don't really understand.
