• Toyota - Yaris Verso replacement 30 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  As an aside I never ceased to be amazed at much emphasis people place on a car's appearance. From my point of view, reliability is of paramount importance, which I suppose rules out French cars! Fuel economy not a factor and would much prefer petrol to diesel. It might come to just running on the Yaris for a few more years, and accept it might need some major repairs, if there are no better options.

• Follow on to car jacking thread 27 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  UK fuel duty is there because its a travel contained within the UK situation, whereas airlines are operating an import/export business and it needs the whole world to agree on duties. My thoughts, what about domestic flights? Next time I put thick end of £50's worth of diesel in how far do you think I would get with the line that I should not pay duty am on my way to a meeting re exporting UK products and importing some wine, beer & ciggies.

It seems you can either commission a company in Japan to check a car, then bid for you at auction - or alternatively buy directly from a firm specialising in secondhand car exports.

• DCT......TCT? 14 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  It seems that before long there will be a new breed of transmission, possibly with 3 clutches and as many as 11 gears!. You would think sorting the 'issues' with dual clutch transmissions would be more important than making them even more complex? Oh dear Cue rolling of eyes!
