On several of these occasions it had been mysteriously racing around

'When I got the car back and looked at the log, I couldn't believe

Nothing new. Nothing interesting.
I'd trust any of them a lot more than I'd trust you to be rational, honest
and reasonable.

Yawn. Yet another non-story from the daily wail about an everyday ocurrence.

Here's another non-story.
