• Cruise control and the right foot. 25 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  What is the best position for your right foot when driving the car on the cruise control? I ask because today while driving on the motorway in the BMW 320 on the cruise, I was sat with my right foot flat on the floor. Suddenly, someone pulled into my lane without looking.
• Motoring in UK 17 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  After returning from 2 weeks in switzerland and France it is cetainly disappointing to be driving back in UK. It seems after you have brought diesel for 45p a lt, driven on open, uncongested well laid roads and not been caught by video cameras and CCTV for speeding when in fact you were not, that driving in Britain is a tedious and joyless experience.
• Dealer History 2 11 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  I intend to do the intermediate services myself after the cambelt change and dealer service at the 27K interval I drive about 40k a year so it will still receive good attention really. I just wondered if anybody has any thoughts on this procedure, I intend to drive it for at least another 2 years when it will have the best part of 150K on the clock so resale with dealer history may not be that relevant.

• 54 Focus 1.8i - What SUV to replace a great car to drive? 22 May 2017 (Forum)
    It's mainly for me and the wife i.e. 2 people in the car and I am looking for something where you sit higher up and is comfortable for long trips. Being old school i actually like a car that drives well and has a manual box, we also prefer an opening sunroof over air con but that seems to be a big ask these days.  We have test driven the CR-V, Qashqui, CX3, ASX, C-HR, X1, Tiguan, GLA, Tuscon, Q3 and have either found them poor to drive, or constantly jittery, or not enough passenger legroom in front or passenger seat won't raise, or not very high or very poor internal trim for the money being asked.

  After weeks of consideration and a couple of test drives the Mrs and I are back from a head to head test drive of the two cars. Before the test the Fiat was the favourite. Cute looking, stylish, well equipped, perky and "fun" - the Mrs was almost ready to buy one without driving it.
• Landrover off-road experience - truly amazing 20 Nov 2008 (Forum)

• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 1999 1.4 Meridian - Cutting Out??? 20 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  The car originally was just stalling at junctions and would idle irratically, and was slighly jerky when releasing the accelerator, i continued driving it for a few weeks, before i replaced the idle speed control valve (advice from internet) The car seemed to work fine for the day, irratic idling gone, jerkyness gone, although the car didnt seem to pick up aswell, i was just pleased that the car was driving better.
• Driving in Argentina 20 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  It was an eye opener and I have to say I rather enjoyed it. But then I was a passenger and not having to drive that way. Off motoring ? BA is a great place. Safe by South American standards (Cops everywhere) and the best steaks I?ve ever had. Even better it was 28 deg C and the pretty girls were out ;-).
