  1. We have to do driver improvement courses with work every year, in addition my wife is a driving instructor and has done her IAM. Everyone would benefit from further road training.

    I recently had a free IAM assesment and the guy said I could pass my IAM test almost immediately. I have decided to do the test but I'm waiting while my daughter has passed her driving test and we'll do it together.

  2. These incidents are regulary reported. I don't believe them at all. The amount of gaseous anaesthetic agent required to anaesthetise everyone in an apartment (or motorhome for that matter) would require a tanker. Furthermore, to anaesthetise multiple people, of multiple ages safely with no monitoring, no airway obstruction or other ill effects by an untrained person seems very implausible. Finally, not one robber has ever been found with a huge tanker of gas or indeed with a gas mask!

    I assume that in the bulk of these reports the anaesthetic agent was self administered and is commonly called alcohol.

  3. Very sad.

    We have a JRT which we got as a puppy. She's 6 now. We also have a JRT cross Border Terrier we took in after his owner died, he'd been stuck with her body alone for over a week. It took him over a year to fully settle. He had surgery on his left back leg three weeks ago - his leg is now know as "my new Lotus" as that's where the funds came from to pay the vets fee.

    Started hydrotherapy this week - he's had better care than at most hospitals.

  4. Not a recruiter but changed jobs many times over the years.

    Are you looking to stay in the same industry? If so are there any companies you'd like to work for and could approach directly? I've got quite a few posts that way and sometimes roles have been created for me.

    If not, get a profile on linked in and acquaint with people on there. Within weeks I guarantee you'll have recruiters emailing you (nearly all attractive young woman for some reason).

    Register with recruiters who specialise in your Industry too, the good ones should help you out with fine tuning your CV etc.

    There was a lot of talk a few years ago re the smart For Two from a test point of view, but I am certain you can take a test in a Smart Car. The visability out isn't ideal maybe (which is the usual no-no) but its not too bad.

    I Use an older shape Smart For Four as my Auto Car and briefly considered a two seater at that time.

    The two seater is not acceptable as a test vehicle as it has no rear seats. My wife is a driving instructor too, she had a 206 CC but wasn't allowed to use that for tests either.

  6. Not a 400-specific feature, but... heated rear glass? I haven't driven my car in the winter yet but I know in comfortable weather, the rear glass gets too hot to touch after a short drive :)

    I asked about this and was told it was a legal requirement in some markets.

  7. Two more thoughts on the test car in the pictures:

     

    They seem to have changed, or hidden the two ugly rear number plate lamps. I hope so...

     

    Is the change around the centre of the rear wing an opportunity for Lotus to fix the problem of water pooled in the lower rear window vent from pouring into the boot when it's opened?

    I don't recall that happening.
