• Ford Focus - Ford 'Candy Red' - Chips, Repairs & Fades? 10 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, I'm thinking of buying a Focus in 'Candy Red' - this is apparently a 'tri-coat' paint. My current car (a ford in 'Midnight Blue' metalic) looks fantastic even though it's getting on for 7 years old now [it is washed/waxed on a regular basis]. Candy Red looks great 'today' - but I'm worried if it's likely to fade (you see a lot of old faded red cars on the road) - and also if it's any more likey to chip (or show the chips) than a regular metalic etc.

• Old designs a british speciality? 4 Feb 2007 (Forum)

• Jaguar X type 6 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  As usual,the cheapest deals seem to be in the north of England or Scotland while I'm based in Kent,but distance is no object if I can save a couple of grand! Yes I know that Mercs and BMW are probably better cars but a 1 or 2 year old model is still too close to the new price. Whereas I've seen some X types Jags at two thirds their cost price at only a year old so in the real world,a one year old 3 series is £20k,but the similar equipped jag is £15k!
• Citroen BX - Safety ? 11 May 2002 (Forum)

• Automatics - Elderly drivers + automatic = crash? 26 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  Driver 83 year old man So pedal confusion panic could be a factor in all these cases (as could several other factors I admit) but instead of banning 80+ year olds from driving should we stop them driving autos or make left foot braking training compulsory (if that is even possible?)
