    mismatched tyres or a bad tyre can also cause this

    FRV +1 here as well, big enough for six adults, front centre and 2 rear outer seats have isofix. Boot with rear seats down big enough for 5 bikes if loaded correctly. 😉

    Look for a seller called hobby mounts. Paul and Beth are official gopro stockists and will see you right. Their website is http://www.hobbymounts.co.uk if they don’t have any cameras on their eBay store.

    Do a network settings reset and then a hard restart by holding the home button and power button until the apple logo appears. The. Try reconnecting.

    Also sounds daft but have you tried restarting your router as well

    The annoying beep and light in my fathers car that indicates when the drivers seat belt isn’t fastened. He’s not allowed to wear one for medical reasons. 10 seconds in a scrap yard with a stanley knife and a knacked seat belt sorted it. Cut the belt fastener off a belt and inserted it in the normal place.

    I only spent 30 minutes in the car with him before it annoyed me, he’d been putting up with it for 3 YEARS.

    Dannyh, I’d love to join in one evening. Only problem is making it on time, I work over in long eaton and sometimes don’t get out until 6:30 which is pushing it a little for time.

    First thing to try is start in safe mode and do a system restore to a few days previous then reinstall the iTunes update again.

    Well cannock was not that bad mud wise. Some puddles as to be expected but overall fairly unmessy. Had a great ride. 2 laps of the dog and 1 of the monkey with coffee and cake inbetweeners.

    Funny moment of the day: blowing my front tyre of the rim on the last rock of rock and rollers on my last lap of the day. Perfect timing for a flat with just a couple of hundred yards to push the bike to the car.

    I’m interested to know what the BMW driver did that made you leave the motorway (other than tailgate).

    PS. Glad you didn’t die.

    He ended up trying to pass while he was too close and tapping the rear corner of the car very hard which forced me in to a spin. The road was very wet with lots of standing water which didn’t help matters.

    Thank god i’m still here though.

    To be lying in a hospital bed with your 5 year old in floods of tears is not a nice place to be at.

    That particular day though I was driving a Honda FRV with plenty of metal, in the Smart i would have probably missed everything down the hill and floated down the stream at the bottom LOL.

    Drop me your address and I’ll send you a bigger spade.

    Fair point steve, granted the stock handling is cack but stick some proper wheels off the Brabus edition on it and decent rubber and it’ll stick to the corners like an angry cat on a shagpile carpet.

    The Mini still turns heads and always will as it’s an iconic car that most of us grew up with (well those over a certain age anyways).

    Sorry for the rant but that day was very scary for my daughter and she was in floods of tears as her daddy nearly died in a car accident the year before by some prat tailgating me like that. I was forced off a motorway at speed by a BMW, down an embankment and ended up rolling the car several times before coming to rest on the side (roof) against a very large tree.

    He was tooting and flashing to let you know how stupid you were for buying a Smart car and taking it on the motorway. Given you were doing 50 he was probably aware it couldn’t go faster!

    I resent that accusation. I was driving the wifes daily driver and it’s a great little car. It WILL do more than 50 mph all day long if I wanted to be an idiot and break speed limits all the time. Granted the car is no full out performance item but it does its job day in and day out with hardly any running costs to mention.

    I ask you this….. Have you ever driven a smart? If not i suggest you try one and see for yourself.

    Next you’ll be having a go at me for mentioning one of the other cars i own… a 1965 Mini Cooper S….. cause it’s too dinky and only got two doorsand a sub 1L engine.

    I was once tailgated by a Boots lorry on the M62 near Leeds in the roadworks, I sat at 50 all the way through it and he got that close I could only see part of the grille in the rear view mirror.

    In any car that would be fairly worrying but when you are in a Samrt for 2 with your daughter in the passenger side it’s terrifying.

    He was flashing and honking all the time to make me go faster and break the speed limit.

    Little did the tw@ know that all of his antics were being captured on HD camera mounted to the front and rear screens which were promptly forwarded to his employers after advising them of his appalling driving standards.

    Revenge is sweet. 😀
