How to find old road tests? - Lou_O
Hi,

Would like to find the road test for the 03-on Scenic.

Typing 'scenic road test' in the site search brings up over 500 results, and is fairly useless.

How can I do it better and find what I'm looking for?

Thanks,

Lou

Are you looking to find HJ's road tests?

Select "Road Tests" from the menu on your left. That brings you to the latest test (a BMW 3 series at the moment).

The older tests are listed down the right hand side of the page. Use the text search option in your web browser (Edit menu, then Find) to search for "Renault Scenic". That highlights the link to the car test you're looking for.

Thanks, found what I was looking for.

It's a bit of an inefficient method though, why not have a page with all the old road tests listed, either by model or by date?

Cheers,

L

The best way I've found of using the un-indexed HJ roadtests, is to use Google - saves scrolling though several metres of screen:

type 'Honestjohn' and 'car name' - takes you right to it.

btw, powers that be - do you have any plans to introduce an indexing or search function for road tests?

(perhaps cross-reff'ed to CbCB)

Lou what year, model, engine are you looking at? I have owned all 3 models of Scenics so can give you feedback if needed.
