    Freelander to Mondeo and back again. Am I mad?

    I got a 55 reg Freelander Sport 6 months ago and can honestly say it is the best car I have had. We drove from Aberdeen to Birmingham in February and even though my wife is disabled she said it was the most comfortable journey she has had. It is half leather and the seats are heated. The only...

    Caravan Club Shambles

    Alan. I`m with you on this one. I have been using CC sites for quite a number of years and have no trouble booking in. As you said most sites tell you to find a pitch and then let them know the pitch number.

    green flag recovery arrgh!!

    We had a puncture on the M6 between junction 6 & 7 last year while on our way North with the caravan. When we contacted Green Flag for assistance they asked why I could not change the tyre myself. I explained that we were on the busiest part of the M6 & there was no way I would attempt to...

    Travelling fraternity on site

    We had the same problem at a CL in Perthshire. They had phoned to see if there were any vacancies and gave their Caravan Club membership number. It was only when they arrived that the owners realised they were travellers. They must have had about 4 or 5 caravans. Surprisingly enough we...

    Spacelite Awning

    I have one of these and you have to supply your own skirt & wheel arch cover. I was lucky I had an old skirt which I cut to size.

    It's enough to make you spit blood!!!

    Surely the local council has supplied them with Portaloos & skips for their rubbish. It`s the first thing our council does. Something to do with human rights.

    ok enough is enough !!

    Have to agree with the majority. We have been caravanning from over 20 years and still get great enjoyment from it. Granted we only go about 30 miles up the road to a CL for a weekend break but it is great to sit in the awning in an evening and all you hear is silence. On our summer break we...

    Just an observation.

    Just thoughtI would throw in my tupence worth. I have a 2 year old Freelander Sport which I tow with. I also use it in the course of my employment but the main reason for having one is because my wife is disabled and she finds it is easier to get in and out of the Freelander than any other car...

    Causewayend School Aberdeen

    Alan. You have my support. This council has to be the worst we have ever had. I see they are now cutting number of school crossing patrollers to save money yet they want to build an arty farty gallery at Union Terrace gardens costing millions. They also want to build cycle lanes which if...

    Automated Number Plate Recognition

    Ray (c) When the insurance company is giving you your insurance policy they automatically send a copy to DVLA at the same time. Therefore if the driver has a copy of his insurance with him, there is also a copy at DVLA. It works the same with an MOT. They are all electronically operated now...

    Lightweight awnings

    We bought a Porchlite Plus from Waudby`s a couple of years ago and find it excellent for weekends. I can put it up myself within 10 - 15 minutes.

    NO MORE TOLLS in

    I do not understand the thinking of an environmentalist. They claim there will be more pollution now that the tolls have been scrapped but surely there won`t be the same pollution now that cars will not have to stop and pay to cross the bridges. Is it me or have I missed something.

    Automated Number Plate Recognition

    I work for Grampian Police and when Traffic Officers stop a vehicle for whatever reason, they ask the control room for a PNC, which is a direct link to DVLA. After giving the registation number they are given details of the registered keeper, whether the vehicle has insurance and if over three...
