BR members called 'scholarly' by academics 5 Jun 2009 (Forum)
He said it had enabled him to impress the salesman at the garage who had told him, no, the car didn't have a DPF and he was quite right to want it not to have one... As it happens they are both Old Etonians. Etonians don't always know the meaning of the word scholarly, but these two certainly do. -

Trading in vs. selling privately 14 Jul 2007 (Forum)
I have a 14 year old Honda CRX (93 model) VTi with 110k miles. It's been great, but as I have an 8 month old baby it's time to get something with a back seat. I fancy a Clio 172 or a Peugot 306 Gti and only want to spend £3-4K max.
