• HJ's column 9 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  The puns are truly wonderful, and truly excruciating. It's someone mighty clever. I can't believe it's an anonymous department; they bear the hallmarks of a fiendish individuality.

• Moscow motor show stars 29 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  The pic in the magazine was small, so i looked up online to find some more detail. It certainly a distinctive looking machine, but to my mind, looks kinda like a caracature with it's ludicrously large wheels and dramatic wheel arch styling, https://www.motoringresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Lada_4x4_Vision_MR_02.jpg https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/po8eV/s1/2018-lada-4x4-vision-concept.jpg Finally, there is Putin's new wheels!.

• 'ilford.mdip.bt.net' - a plea for sanity 8 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  I can do nothing about this, but ask that I am treated as the genuine person I am. Just because someone is making anonymous and bogus posts from 'ilford.mdip.bt.net' should not mean that all of us with similar ISP addresses should be treated badly. I do not live near Ilford, and do not use an ISP with Ilford or BT in the name.
• St George's Cross flags 20 May 2006 (Forum)
  Although I'm totally in favour of patriotism, I can't help feeling that making a car conspicuous by attaching St George's Cross flags is (in today's unruly society) inviting the attention of lowlife. I always try to keep my car as inconspicuous and as anonymous as possible. -- L\'escargot.

• Audi 2.6 V6 service indicator 26 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Other forums are vague on this point - some later cars can be reset by a combination of push/pulls on the clock set/odo reset pins - this does not work on my car. Do I have to buy VAG-COM software to do this? Any other ideas? El Dingo (Martin).

  Are there any places online that will post car fluids such as coolant, PAS fluid, gearbox oil etc? I detest going to Halfords and always seem to run out of time to go to the Peugeot dealer...for the sake of a few quid P&P this would be much convenient.
• Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate - C-Class Estate boot height 4 Sep 2024 (Forum)
  Does anyone have a C-Class estate and would be willing to measure the height of the boot (the tallest section right behind the back seat)? I'm considering buying one but want to check it'll be tall enough for my dog. There isn't one for sale anywhere near me so trying to save what could be a long wasted journey. I've looked online a lot but can't find that exact measurement, just the boot opening measurement from RIDC which will be different.
