• Potholes In Glasgow 26 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  I cannot think of any road that is in not need of repair and you report a fault they turn up in a low bed truck and chuck some tarmac at the hole and basically the guy uses his tacky boot to stamp it down. Then a week later it?s back to square one. http://tinyurl.com/bjc7qh Mods HJ has cleared the link.
• Privacy glass 19 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  To me it makes a car look odd when the windscreen and side windows have normal glass and the rest of the car has dark windows. It must cost more too. Its mostly people carriers and exec 4x4's that seem to have it fitted but those I've seen recently only had two people in them, a driver and front seat passenger who were clearly visible so no privacy for them! If they were carrying kids in the back, why would they require 'privacy'?

• Suzuki Ignis II (2003 - 2007) - Is it any Good? 6 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  On Sunday we tested an 04 plate Ignis - liked it for size and found the engine has real zest above 3,800 RPM but they're hard to locate s/hand in East Anglia. Does any reader have an Ignis - would you recommend one or should we look at other cars?
• Mercedes Benz C-Class W203 (2000 - 2007) - Rust on a '52' plate - is this unusual? 11 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Glanced at other side as I pulled away, and nearside front wheel arch was just as bad. Is this common? I know I've seen rusty arches on late 90's E-class Mercs, but on a '52 plate? It's only 6 years old. Anyone else seen this?

  Has he any comeback as the failure occurred after he agreed to buy the car or is it just down to individual tester?s interpretation?
• Bullitt 4 May 2008 (Forum)

Can any BR tell me A. what model the other car was B. how many Mustangs were written off in the production C. did Steve McQueen do the driving ?
