• Is 6 Grand+5 y/o a car tipping point? 16 Feb 2007 (Forum)

Its these types of car that I've always seemed to end up with and they've ALWAYs cost an arm and a leg to keep fuelled and on the road.

Continued more circumspectly than is my wont after pulling over to nearside so that I could access the hard shoulder if need be.
