  • Farewell chug a chug Diesels - you served us well. 13 Aug 2009 (Forum)
    Maybe not - as long as it moves along the road in its grim little petrol engine way and the eye pod plugs into the radio. Here it comes... with it`s anodyne buzzing and augmented central locking type electro magnetic inlet valves. No springs. The next test bed for the public?
  • I Have a Question - Volume 298 [Read Only] 11 Jul 2009 (Forum)
    (I`m tempted to do this to be honest) Of course the issue is with the `market place seller` but being relatively new to all of this I would welcome your advice.

  • Route advice please - Calais to Lot-et- Garonne 24 Apr 2009 (Forum)
    and onto the A71 and onto the free A20 and exiting somewhere around Brive depending on where we are staying.. It?s usually quite straightforward. However the tolls are creeping up along with the cost of fuel (petrol Mazda 6 2.0) and hotels.. I?ve often thought of heading out of Calais on the A16 past Boulogne then onto the free A28 to Rouen.
  • New or Old shape Volvo V70 ? 9 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    Thinking about a a vovlo V70 Need an estate car, and something that will tow a BIG 4berth caravan..... Article in Car Mechanics s Magazine about the new shape V70, how low spec ones are gettin down toward £4K ( I don't think I'd buy one that cheap though) I am prob wanting to spend £6-7K maximum. Diesels seem extremely overpriced considering they are prob only £1K more when new.... s/h it seems ot add about £3k to the price.
  • Sweet justice 21 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    t been snowing and below zero. It?s a shame I suppose, that innocent parties get involved in someone elses crass stupidity and reckless behaviour but no sooner had we passed the scene than they were all at it again. Dogs learn quicker than that.
