I needed to get a new seatbelt for my car - the old one was starting to fray a little bit in one spot. I usually get my car serviced at an AA service centre, but they aren't really a proper workshop, and carry hardly any parts, much less seatbelts. So, I turned to the yellow pages. I mean www.yellowpages.co.nz, of course. There were 14 listings under Safety Belt in Auckland City, and two of those had web pages.

I saw this on Top Gear last week: a Bugatti Veyron. It blows all the other supercars out of the water. It is the fastest, most powerful street legal car on the market, and it can leave a formula 1 car in its dust.

My car broke down about a month ago. I had trouble starting it at home one afternoon and eventually got it to work, but that night, in the OGGB carpark, it refused to start. I delayed doing anything about it for a while, since I didn’t really have either the time or the money to deal with it, so my car has been abandoned on level 3 of OGGB ever since. It’s not just a battery issue since the lights and electrics all work perfectly fine. Given that the car has been getting harder to start, and now won’t turn over at all (I just get a click) my conclusion is the fault lies with the starter motor.
