• Cheapest country in Europe for a new car 5 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  I am not ruling out brand new, but why pay new prices when you can get a further 20-40% off on a year old car? I am also looking for a LHD as i live in Spain, where the dealers won't do you a deal & used car prices are huge for one who is used to the UK second hand car market. Cheers all.

• "Bonus" points on your driving licence? 3 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  "In three years time drivers with a clean record will have as many as 15 points on their licence [Spanish system works in reverse to UK - you start with 12 points, and deductions made for an offence] The DGT traffic authority in Spain is to hand out 40 million extra licence points to some 21 million good drivers from next month. Those with a clean record since the points system was introduced [in 2006] will get two extra points, taking them to 14, and if they continue for another three years they will get an extra point to reach 15" Good idea?

• Europe and spare tyres 24 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  I'm planning on going down to Europe for two weeks in the summer, mainly France, but possibly Austria, Germany, Swizerland and Italy as well. I've just read on another thread that in Spain, it's law that you have a spare tyre. Is this true in any other countries? I've got an Accord, and don't have a spare tyre, just a stupid foam inflator thing, so could be a bit of a problem. So, my question is - do I have a problem?
