| (134) 01-Sep-2005 Norton IS issue | |
| After much investigation of what appeared to be a some non working pages, It has come to our notice that Nortons Ad blocking feature uses very unsophisticated methods. namely if the url has the string /adverts in and or various other terms it strips the web page of its content, causing some very strange effects. It strips not only banners but also buttons and text links, no matter how innocent and unrelated to banner advertising they are. Strangely Symantecs own banners seem immune from blocking. Whilst the object of the software may be admirable, the methods used are sledgehammer to nut and very intrusive. Use of this feature of the Norton software suite may lead to not seeing parts of web sites or as we found complete non functioning of aspects of websites, for no other reason than Norton is blocking the websites naming conventions. |

| (161) 14-Jun-2005 Shock Horror as XJ get diesel lump | |
| Jaguar has shoehorned a diesel engine under the bonnet of its ever elegant, XJ saloon The introduction of the 2.7 litre twin-turbo Diesel to the XJ range means Jaguar now offers a diesel alternative across its entire saloon range. V8's V6's Diesels, whatever next. RIP Sir William. |

| (167) 13-May-2005 MG TF TO BE SAVED? | |
| A rescue plan for MG -- but not Rover -- could be on the cards. Chapman Automotive Limited is in the final stages of putting together a bid to purchase assets related to MG from the administrators of MG Rover Group and Powertrain Limited. Strangly the TF is worst/lowest rated MG/Rover in the 2005 JD power survey. |

| (171) 10-May-2005 Choose your colour carefully, Black the new Silver | |
| In residual value terms, the best performing colour in the upper-medium prestige sector is now metallic black. Silver used to hold the top spot, but the large number of silver cars on UK roads has meant the colour has now fallen back. An average one-year-old metallic black upper-medium prestige car is now worth around £200 more than silver, At the other end of the spectrum, an upper-medium prestige car in white typically has a trade value up to £2,500 less than a car of the same specification in silver.

| If you're a driver in Scotland and you've forgotten to renew your car tax, beware. You're more likely to be gaoled than if you committed burglary, according to figures released by the Scottish Executive last week, which showed that 1,574 motorists were gaoled in 2003, but only 1,252 burglars. |

| (178) 27-Apr-2005 SPEEDING OFFENCES SOAR BY 44 PER CENT | |
| There were 1.9 million speeding prosecutions in 2003, according to Home Office figures released yesterday, up a massive 44 per cent on the previous year. Of all speeding offences, 93 per cent were based on speed camera evidence, and the Home Office attributes the rise in prosecutions to their use.
However, the number of deaths on the roads continues to rise, up over the same period from 3,431 (2002) to 3,508 (2003), which road safety campaigners put down to incorrect speed enforcement policies, the latest of which is the controversial installation of speed cameras on the M4 motorway, despite the fact that motorways are the UK's safest roads. |

| (184) 21-Apr-2005 Chinese Wover on the way? | |
| So the chinese managed to by the IP to the Rover range for a paltry 6M They are gearing up to build the cars in China. And whats worse it appears that BMW still own the Rover name and may be tempted to let the chinese use it (for a fee of course) Ever felt like you got shafted. Is this mis-management to rival the bad old days of British Leyland. |
|
| (185) 19-Apr-2005 Rover Gone | |
| The final act of this long running tragedy approaches. If the workers had been laid of by BMW they could have got tens of thousands each, instead they will be lucky to get a couple of thousand for decades of service. Meanwhile the gang of four backed by the government walk away with tens of millions for running MG/Rover into oblivion Bought a Rover recently, still under warranty So thats workers shafted comment above |

| will they wont they, if Rover goes receivership it will be worth even less and would be buyers can pick it up for even less Worse the British tax payer will have to pickup the pension bill anyway to the tune of £400,000,000 |

| (190) 08-Apr-2005 Rover going down the pan | |
| 25000 jobs at serious risk with the end of Rover. Yet the gang of four who paid just £1 are some £40,000,000 richer. We or at least our government can spend billons on war, yet can not save whats left of the British car industry. It was prepared to give the chinese £100M just to take it off their hands and out of the election agenda, but even that bribe has not worked. What the hell is going on I think I can feel a Hot Topic coming along. |
