• Well done VAG 16 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  In the past this competition has been dominated by Toyota, Subaru, Honda (of course) and it goes without saying - BMW. VW / VAG have won 2 categories and are best engine overall with the 1.4TSI & 2.0 GTI. The 1.4 TSI beat BMW's V10 M5 engine to top spot - so in my mind that shows what a good engine this must be.

• Cheap insurance for second car. Help! 26 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Here is the problem. New Renault Scenic arrives today, to replace my nearly 10 year old BMW 318. My wife has her own car,and we swap between them. I thought I might hang on to the BMW, for sentimental reasons, and as an emergency spare car, as it is in good order mechanically. To insure it apparantly means going back to 1 year NCB, even though we both have maximum protected NCBs. 3rd party is over £500 per year, the car is worth £1500 at best, and we would only do 3-4k miles a year in it.
