• A5 and A483 - Shrewsbury to Wrexham 14 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  What is it with the diabolical level of car driving on this road? Why do car drivers think that it is perfectly safe to overtake on a SC road with oncoming traffic because it's wide enough if everyone moves over to make room to squeeze through?

  Looking for a new car. Have yet to drive any of these but really liked the old focus. The new one is nice, but so is the golf. However, for the money of a golf I could get an A3. Any thoughts? Would be looking at 1.6 - 2.0 petrols.

• running in? 20 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  Anyone read this http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm It goes against what owners manuals say and I don't know anyone who runs in (break in as they call it in the US) a new engine by driving it hard. Surely, allowing an engine to bed down gradually is the secret to longevity and reduced oil consumption? Comments?
