CarTalk December 8

And the boys from MotoringME.com join me in the studio for a conversation about what is hot and what is not on the roads.

Here is a bit of what came in on the SMS.

Boys. Great show by the way. Can you help- a friend of mine was hit from the rear in a major smash. Her car was borderline write-off. The other guys insurance is paying and she has now been told she HAS TO have the car back as it's not written off. Not only doesn't she want it but she has been paying a hire car ever since. This is now SIX WEEKS at her expense while the car is repaired and forced back on her. Any advice??? Is she allowed to claim all her costs back? How does she know if the car is safe?? Cheers. Don

the Lotus is just too small- the dimensions make it look like noddys... (with a taxi motor!)

Instead of lotus car that costs 292000 i would buy a mini cooper . Same size and half price.

I am looking to sell my BMW 730i 2008 MODEL GCC SPECS single owner with 88k kms. Its clean and in excellent condition - what would be a fair price. Are there any shops who will buy it ?

UAE National Day Call-in December 2

This is the show from the 43rd National Day!

It was a very simple show, share your UAE Stories!

We kicked off the show with some ideas based on this bit of journalism!

And we had a chance to speak to one of the leaders at the UAE National Archives.

The UAE is the first Arab country to make available parts of its archives through the Google Cultural Institute, Google.

Here is the podcast of the show.
