    This may have already been mentioned in here (I find it hard to believe
    that it hasn't, as it's a Digital maintained page).  I found the
    address in the Electronic Telegraph.  It's for information and progress
    reports about the attempts to break the land speed record with THRUST
    II.

    Having spent a while reading the Car in its electronic format 
    this morning i must say it is really well put together with
    all the usual Car mag stuff including road tests and the best
    recent articles taken from the magazine eg. Flat out in the Sahara
    in a Ferrari and Ten Supercars that shook the world!
    
    If you have access then definately take a look
    
    Cheers

     In addition they 've set up 3 different "Chat Forums" with
     varying topics, the input coming from readers of the pages,
     but more interesting is their AUTOPILOT page which takes you 
     to hundreds of "web" car related sites and topics ranging from
     2cv's, 4X4's, Exotic Cars, Military cars.
    
     Cheers

There's a live feed from Traffic master (moterways and some trunk roads) which
is accessible from the Vauxhall home page ( http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/ ) or
directly from http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/vectra-cgi/traffic

You get a map of the UK, and you pick the area you're interested in on that.
Then you get a blown up area with more details plus the jams etc on traffic
direction North and East with a switch to get South and West directions.

Have a look

    Malcolm,
    I keep getting "Document Done" and a blank page! No matter how I chop
    and change the address, and it always puts a back slash on after .uk. 
    
    Help Mr "I.S" Wallah (or do I have to log a call?)

    It only seems to work with Netscape, and then, on my B&W VXT2000, it's
    all black except for two graphics I can't see properly cos they're so
    crap. However, under the picture of the magazine cover, is a hyperlink
    (invisible!) to [welcome] and that leads off to the main stuff. No sign
    of Murrayisms yet though.
    
    Cheers, Laurie.

    Laurie,
       I am using Netscape. I just tried it again and was told "Document
    contains no data". I will see if anyone has problems before I give it
    another go. Or I may use a search engine!
    
    
    		Cheers anyway,
                     Stretch.
                           

    
    Got through OK on Netscape.

    can't see it"

    Here is a WWW site that may interest some people.
    
    http://www.SpecialCar.com/
    
    All sorts of links and info. It seems to be updated monthly. I have not
    looked into all the areas myself so if it is dire/boring/waste of time
    etc let me know and I will delete the note.

    Linked off the last notes page. Some very funny (and true) examples.
    (Except what they say about Mantas, of course)
    
    
    For example, here is a perennial favourite....
    
    Volvo (any): 
              
    Indicator stalk removed from steering column to disable indicators. 
              
    Wing mirror surfaces colour coded to body so they are unusable. 
              
    All readouts to be in braille. 
              
    Cruise control set to 28mph. 
              
    Set all foglights to on and remove foglight switch. 
              
    Outside-lane following attachment for cruise control, with variable    
    distance (1m - 10m) settings.
