• Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - Possible purchase. What do you all think? 15 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  A local bombsite trader (think of a bad-tempered Turkish Bellboy without the wit) has a RHD Audi A4 Avant that he´s taken as a PX, and is going to find difficult to shift. No market for RHD here in Germany, and it´s still on UK plates. It´s a late ´96 2.6 V6 automatic, fairly high spec. Bad bits: undocumented 115k miles, no service history at all (book is missing).

• BMW 3-Series E91 Touring (2005 - ) - 320d : ownership report 16 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  Could I have got the same (or more) satisfaction in a new car of the same size for less money? Maybe, but I kinda doubt it. I like this BMW?s style, design philosophy and ergonomics, as well as the self-assured way it does what is asked of it. There?s nothing that irritates. It?s a good car.

• Ford B-MAX - Buying cat s car 12 Jan 2025 (Forum)
  I found this post really helpful and as I sadly don’t have a personal friend in the repair trade I’m hoping that I might get some help on here x Here’s a pic of my cat S car pre repair. Does this look like a fairly simple fix? Or perhaps you can’t tell enough from just this pic. I’m trying to clarify that if I got hit in this spot again that the car safety would function still as it should.
