• Campervan - Help please 31 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  Would prefer mid kitchen (with oven) and rear lounge (so if one is lying down, the other need not disturb them if cooking and access to the cab etc is easy) ? Swivel front seat(s) (So we could sit and eat up front if the bed is made up or if we choose to) ? We have approx £23,000 for the right vehicle. ? We will be taking two bicycles. We are happy camping and do not require luxury but do want to be comfortable for six months.

• Current trends reduces new car desirability? 3 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  I'm wondering whether it's the fact that everything nowadays is such a compromise i.e. fuel costs have made V8's and V6's a no-no unless you're doing seriously limited mileage and/or the new tax classes.. a diesel is practical but boring, so for the first time if i can't get what I want, i'm not prepared to take a big dive on depreciation etc, so i'll keep what i've got I do spend more than is probably prudent keeping my 9 yr old car in tip top condition (just had both bumpers re-sprayed re minor parking scrapes), but have never been anywhere near to being a champion of bangernomics what's happening to me?
• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 05 1.6tdci Bonnet lock mechanism / cautionary tale 14 May 2008 (Forum)

• Aging population as car buyers 4 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  You have Focus saloons, Corollas, Skoda Felicia, a Passat, Honda Jazz, Honda Civic, Rover 416, Astra, lots of Volvo S/V40's etc etc. Since the older buyers tend to have somewhat different needs when buying cars in general, will this have any knock-on effect as they become a bigger car buying section of society? It may have no effect at all of course, but with pensioners loosing money and worries over future pensioners not saving now, will there be a greater demand for cheaper, more practical cars in the future which just do the A-B motoring?
