Good job she was not on a route with pedestrian crossings on it, although I doubt the pedestrians would have noted any difference between her and normal traffic

Re: cruise control failure!
I do like the look of that swb Patrol you have on your site.
Does it have cruise control?

Re: cruise control failure!
ditto!
I had this http://photos.carsguide.com.au/car/0...459973_1_m.jpg
for about a year and I absolutely loved it! for the life of me I cannot find a picture of the one that I had, it was blue with a white front guard! raw power, manual shifting, black smoke (it was a diesel) and a mean outlook! I cant remember if it even had ABS or not!

This was my old wagon; 4 litre straight six, 4 speed gearbox, and bloody deafening - the exhaust ended just south of the front doors....

Another cruise control incident reported in 7 Days, and yes it was an emirati woman driver again.

Re: cruise control failure!
does anyone seriously believe that the brakes, gearbox and ignition all failed?
yet another case of someone who has no business driving any kind of car ever.

Re: cruise control failure!
i genuinely believe there are people who know so little about cars let alone safe driving that they really should be allowed to drive.

Re: cruise control failure!
Guy drove into the back of me in JLT traffic last week. His Yaris had a nice dent in the front but not a scratch on my Exploder (the tow bar hole got him
).He didn't get out the car, just kept doing funny hand signals and pointing at me like it was my fault for creeping forward, braking, creeping forward, braking....as if anything else was going to happen in gridlock.
Fortunately no damage to me so I just ****ed off.
