• new possible car 23 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  i'm thinking of getting rid of the fiesta zetec s for something else but i'm not really sure what to buy. I've got 7k ish, i want something fun to drive, at least as good to drive as the ZS. I mainly drive on motorways and a roads. I was think S2000 or Focus ST. But i'm not sure if they are a bit 'much' for long distance commute. Any ideas?
• Self drive ' FX4 Taxi' hire availabilty ? 18 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  A friend living in London (no car) wants to hire a self drive FX4 taxi next Sunday/Monday. He has had no joy in sourcing one so far. Any ideas where he can hire one? Many thanks in advance. P.S. No I do not know why a Mondeo will not do! SLT
• NIP - who was driving? (Continued) 15 May 2007 (Forum)
  cheddar, We all know that Mrs cheddar's car was speeding. We all know it was either Mrs cheddar or yourself driving at the time. What's hers is yours and vice versa. Just get her to NOMINATE a driver so that the powers that be can get it over and done with and get on with the next case. It's only a speeding offence, not murder. -- L\'escargot.
• New Transit, FWD or RWD 25 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  I saw from an advert in the paper today that the new Transit is available in Front Wheel Drive or Rear Wheel Drive. I have never heard of a vehicle being offered with these alternatives, has there been any others? Is this an example of how the Transit really is just a chassis that you can build whatever you want to onto in the way of engine, drive and bodystyle?
• What car did you learn to drive in? 3 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Prompted by the 2CV thread, wondered what car you learnt to drive in? My instructor's car was a red Datsun 100A (don't see many of those now). I passed in 1976 - 1st time of course! Was n't allowed to practice in Dad's car (1976 Alfasud) so the Datsun was my only learner vehicle.
• Really that bad? Maestro 27 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  'Red Robbo' build quality. Antediluvian 'A' Series 1.3 litre engine. 1.3s are surprisingly horrible to drive - worse than you would ever have imagined. Are you being a bit harsh HJ? I learnt to drive in a Maestro, it was more "fun" to drive than the Pug 405 that replaced it.
• Insurance for test driving cars 13 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I'm looking at buying a used car & wondered about the insurance i would need for test driving. If i were selling a car for a reasonable amount, i would want the person to be fully comp. So, my insurance company weren't too competitive about insuring me fully comp for any car. Any other ways round this?
• Other drivers 3 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  There are only two kinds of drivers on the road that you see: the morons, who drive slower than me; and the maniacs, who drive faster than me. Doesn't everyone operate on this principal? ;^} You dont get to see the third kind, those sensible intelligent paragons of driving virtue go at the same speed as you, as you neither overtake them nor are overtaken by them ;-) ~R
• Driving Test changes 21 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  I noticed that Alvin took the driving test in 1957, some 22 years after the tests introduction and I wondered what the main differences between the 1957 test and the current one are? I remember hand signals being phased out in '75, the year I took mine and I know that the current test has a written paper, but what else?

• Renault Drive test drives - great idea 21 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  So I was really interested to see adverts recently for "Renault Drive" events being held around the country at race tracks. Basically they are primarily there to show off the new Megane, but most of the other cars in the range are there too. The events allow you to test drive any of the cars, by yourself on public roads, for about 9 miles or so.
• Driving test grief (need advice) 18 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Just wandered how many times you took your practical driving test? I am originally from Australia so converted my driving license straight to British. My hubby is from the US and has his driving license for 17 years (also holding an Israeli HGV license and motorcycle with 0 motoring offences in both countries all these years).
• Any - Advice from HJ 30 May 2019 (Forum)
  If that is where he is limiting his suggestion to then I would agree. Not for driving normally but acceptable when reversing or very slow manoeuvres. So his statement fits in with our teaching. I apologise if I was misleading but thought the original question related to normal driving (this is a practice which is creeping in).
