Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:28:52 GMT
Steve enthuses about the joy of two post ramps. What is a two post ramp you may well ask?
Ever tried parking in Brighton? Steve gives us a wonderful example of why the parking regulations in Brighton, UK are more like a type of Human Error tax. Enjoy!
PAC#5: The Strangeness of Control Modules
Thu, 22 May 2008 20:21:31 GMT
Steve tells us about how modern cars can behave very strangely when their controller units go wrong. We hear tales of a Vauxhaul Vectra with a dead indicator switch and gauges, and a Kia Sedona with an accelerator pedal that refused to function, until a completely and apparently unrelated issue was resolved. Strange indeed.
