I am in a bit of a predicament at the moment with what to do with my car. My current car is a company car which I chose from new when I was working in a highly successful and profitable company. However, things have changed since then and whilst I still own the car, I am not in a position to be able to afford a new one!

My car is ten years old and having it from new has been a real luxury. However, It’s in need of a lot of work now and I don’t know which route to take in order to get some return on my current car.

I have been having a look at used car websites like www.usedcarluton.co.uk as ideally I would like a used car, with not a lot of mileage and not too may owners either. (more…)

I’ve been thinking about getting Car Recovery in Luton for some time now. After recently passing my driving test and getting my first car, a bad break down experience left me wondering why I hadn’t just paid for the recovery service before!

Having got up early and gone shopping on my own one Saturday morning, I found myself broke down at the side of the motorway without a clue of what to do or who to phone! (more…)

I decided it was high time that I learnt to drive. I did start to learn when I was seventeen years old but had a bad experience with my driving Instructor and ended up stopping them. I have managed to put it off until my ripe age of thirty. It doesn’t feel good when your little sister has started driving lessons before you. (more…)

What parent doesn’t dread their teenagers learning to drive? After going out in the car with my 17 year old daughter once, I realised that I’d have to find a driving instructor and quick or our loving mother-daughter relationship wouldn’t last very long. (more…)

The drawback about having a child at university is helping them to pass their driving tests.

Before he went away he had ten lessons and was not far off being ready to take his driving test. However when he came back weeks later he had forgotten many of the things he had been taught so he had to have about five lessons as a refresher. (more…)

I am now at that age. You know the one, where you are still young at heart but your limbs are beginning to ache a bit when you get out of bed in the morning.

Just to prove that middle age is now upon me, I bought a Harley Davidson bike. (more…)

It does make me smile when I see a sticker on the back windscreen of cars, which reads, ‘Kids Taxi’.

It makes me smile because it is so true.

The amount of miles I have covered over the years driving my son and daughter about. (more…)

It’s about time I had a new car. There is nothing wrong with the one I have at the moment. It drives well and looks good but it is now six years old.

I appreciate cars are built to last but I am beginning to notice one or two things are starting to go wrong. A rattle here, the odd warning light now and the fact I have to put more oil in than I used to is beginning to make me feel a bit nervous. This has all resulted in it going in for repairs more often. (more…)

I can’t ignore it any longer. The light on the dashboard that is. The one that looks like a spanner and indicates that my car is well overdue its service has come on!

It’s not that I can’t afford to do it although, knowing my luck, they will find something particularly expensive that needs replacing. The reason why I have put it off until now is the inconvenience of not having a car for the best part of a day. (more…)

It took me three times to pass. Each time I was just one or two minors over the limit, very frustrating. I was just so nervous.

Now it all seems more and more complicated, what with all the theory, awareness tests and having to have knowledge of what actually exists under the bonnet. Much better I say… I’m just delighted I didn’t have to go through all of that. (more…)
