  Plenty of Choice at Auction Today 25 Jun 2003 (News)
  (If you saw what they made, please e-mail me and I’ll include the prices.) But car of the day for me, at least the car that made my day, was an imported 34k mile 2001X SEAT Leon 20VT Sport bid to £8,100, which makes my lower mileage genuine UK car look very reasonable indeed at £8,500. If there’s anything specific you’re after at any BCA sale you can look for it on BCA’s new pay-for finder service at www.auctionview.co.uk (I hope to have a handier link to that soon in the Left-Hand menu bar.)

  New Geodesy Picks Up Mobile Speed Scameras 23 Jul 2002 (News)
  We now expect demand to grow even further as motorists and motorcyclists seek maximum protection. "Apart from the obvious benefit of protecting driving licences, this is an important step in road safety terms, for independent research has clearly shown that those who use devices to identify the location of speed cameras are much less likely to have accidents than those who do not use them."
