• any - ANPR checks 27 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  Just reading about a "police operation" involving dvla and vosa, which saw over 400 vehicles stopped in a couple of weeks  here in west wales and 48 no insurance, 70 no licence, 10 driving under the influence of alcohol and some with no mot, that's more than 25% of cars stopped, Just wondering how many were crushed after 14 days when fines/ved not paid or insurance documents or MOT not produced. That's a lot of cars! As one of those poor people who need a car and pay my insurance/ved/mot etc and keep my car roadworthy, i don't feel sorry for those losing there cars, and apparently there were some 3-4 year old cars in the mix, not exactly old bangers!

• Honda Legend (2006 - ) - Suggestions for a car to spoil myself with 30 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  I've been looking at replacing my sensible family car with a 2 year old (or thereabouts) luxury car - its my version of a 40year old sports car but I'm too sensible for my own good - I've looked at all of the obvious things and am starting to scratch my head - I've got £20k to spend but can push it.

• Cars for tall families 24 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  In most cases my wife (who is 6ft) sits in the passenger seat, but on the odd occasion has to sit behind me - which is not particularly comfortable. Given that our 5 month old baby is already the size of a "normal" 1 year old, the likelihood is that he is also going to be on the lofty side. This has already shown to be a potential problem. The rear facing baby seat is only recommended for use by up to 9 month olds, but he may well be too big for it by then - and we are "not allowed" to put him in a forward facing seat (which would fit) until he's 9 months old....

• Oxford to Oxford in a Morris Oxford. 26 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  On the 5th May 2004, Tim Nicholson and Joanne Bowlt, set off from Oxford, England, to drive to Oxford, New Zealand, in a fifty year old Morris Oxford. Our local news channel (Central News) reported that the round trip has now been completed and the car never once broke down. Not bad for a 50 yr old motor. http://www.oxford2oxford.co.uk/

• NissanAlmera - audio equipment 23 May 2001 (Forum)
  I have just bought a Nissan Almera, and want to change the rather poor Radio, however unlike other cars it seems to be built into the dashboard, ie, there is a flange on the dashboard which seems to make it impossible to remove the old unit. Does anyone out there know how to whip the old one out, - does it mean having to dismantle the whole dashboard or what ?
