• Any - Stop / Start Systems 10 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  This post came about as the result of a direct question elsewhere on the forum. I was asked specifically what I thought the effect of s/s was on engine life. But this set me off on something of a rant about how s/s had come into being as well as it's effects on the cars mechanical systems (and not-so-mechanical driver). After a bit of editing, I came up with this.

  Audi A5 coupe quattro or BMW 330 xDrive? 18 Aug 2010 (Ask HJ)

• Spartan Warriors. 7 May 2020 (Forum)
  All they tended to come with was central locking, in fact there was a cheaper base model that had absolutely nothing. This is what the fleet market wanted in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s,utter simplicity. I ran one a 1.4 boggo base model for a while, I sold it at 93,000 miles then took it back in part ex at 120k and ran it again for a while. Great, cheap and simple. All you needed and nothing much to go wrong.

• Porsche Boxster 986 + Boxster S (1996 - 2004) - Which boxster to buy??? 30 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  After reading pages and pages of baffling reviews about running costs, engine seals, rear visibility and lack of 'golf club space', I was not put off, however, I am still no further in finding where to start. Firstly, as I say, I am 25 so the "S" version will hurt my pocket slightly more in terms of insurance and also the thought of that much speed under my foot after driving a focus is a little bit...scary. (But if strongly advised to stear clear of other models I would do so).

• The mobile phone - as Sat Nav & voice only 9 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  That worked well and was a surprise to me - the phone reading the street names and the larger road signs. That`s the main thust of this thread. Without looking at a screen and listening to the very chatty voice - I found I was reading road signs and street names - and was concentrating on them and on the road more.
• Volvo S60 (2000 - 2009) - 2.0T S - 124k FVSH - good buy? 13 Mar 2008 (Forum)

• You, experiences, leading or trailing edge? Cars 14 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  But more than that, beyond cars, attitude affecting life experiences. I can remember my father buying one of the very first calculators in the ? late 60`s or early 70`s? it cost around £70. Or about 2+ weeks wages, only to see them become almost free during the working life of that model. Then a rich mate who bought one of the very first clunky digital quartz watches for £300 in the early 70`s only for it to be an expensive museum piece a few months later.
