The quick question thread

About 3/4 months ago while at my brothers house..

Me, my brother and my sister all received parking tickets.

From P4Parking.

At the time I was like, don't pay it as its a private firm etc etc.

Since then they've bothe received 2 letters through the mail about it and I've received none... (Probably due to the fact they class my car as a red Volkswagen, when in fact Orange Fiat being more accurate)...

Naturally they're starting to get a little concerned about it and was wondering whether or not the concept of "ignore as its just an invoice..." still stands....?
 
So toyota are issuing yet another recall...cause for gloating or possibly evidence of how little fiat gives a crap?

Relates to electric power steering failure four cars have failed so far and they've thrown a recall. Dread to think how many punto mk2 electric systems have gone with no action.

What type of failure though? Probably something life threatening like failure of a complete fly by wire system meaning the wheels comes completely detached from the steering wheel?

I thought it wasn't possible to do fly by wire steering, thought for safety reasons manufacturers need a mechanical connection :confused:

Nope, saw somewhere online (might have been auto express so could have been BS) but first manufacture to do this will be Nissan within the next 18-24 months.

Some tractors have been fly by wire for years, and more safety issues there if 40 tonne looses control on a road.

Although I think it's possibly going to end in tears on cars (n)
 
Is there such a thing as a black wild rabbit? Me and the fiance went for a walk round the derwent reservoir, hundreds of rabbits given its a warm summers night but there was one that stuck out like a sore thumb, as it was jet black with a brown tail. It wasn't an escaped domestic rabbit as it was very young, also was about 10 miles to nearest area of houses so wondering if the odd colour mutation happens which we were lucky in seeing before a predator weeded it out as it stuck out a mile off.
