• Distraction 4 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I know it's not strictly car-related but I'll keep it short. I was unfortunate to watch a quiz programme on C4 on Friday. The "winner" received a brand new mini as her prize. BUT She had to answer a further 5 questions before actually winning. Answering incorrectly resulted in her having to "remove" a part of the car. In summary she: 1) Removed the wing mirrors with a baseball bat. 2) Smashed the headlights with a hammer. 3) Spray painted the driver's door. 4) Smashed the windscreen with a sledgeghammer.
• Peugeot Classics 4 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  I haven't studied Peugeot very much before and I'm struggling with which Peugeot designs of the past REALLY stand out. It's easy to do this with the Mini or the Ford T-Bird because it's easy to see what made them great - I can't see the point in designing something and nobody knowing what it is! Which classic (pre-70's) Peugeot designs stand out to you lot??

• Small MPV 7 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  I need to replace my old Volvo and I have been looking at the mini MPV's by Renault, Nissan Citroen etc. I seem to have narrowed it down to the Tino and the Scenic, but they both have their pro's and con's, the Tino has the Nissan reliablity and has more space inside and looks ok from the outside, but is let down by the dash, plasticky and noisy wiper system(on the one I tried).
