Modern traditional - who does it well? 25 May 2007 (Forum)
It's unmistakably a Jaguar and yet looks content to be its 21st-century self, rather than a clumsy 60s hommage. The new S-type is supposed to be a looker too, so let's hope it works - I like Jaguar, live near its factory and would love to see it doing well again. * Aston Martin and Bentley can probably be bracketed together, in that they've managed to modernize their look without losing their roots. -

Mileages and misconceptions? 25 Sep 2006 (Forum)
To me that makes changing a car he admits he loves financial madness, although he doesn't see it that way. (By the way, I know it?s entirely legitimate to just want a change, I?m only questioning the financial side of this). What do people think? G -
Reducing the cost Personal Injury claims 14 Dec 2005 (Forum)
The following is a copy on an article in today?s Sunday Telegraph by Teresa Hunter in the Money and Jobs section. It is not available online, so I have retyped it for the Backroom. The cost of motor cover and other insurance will fall under radical plans to overhaul the personal injury claims system. -
Thoughts from America 30 Sep 2005 (Forum)
A couple of annoyances, wind noise around the sunroof/roof bars at 50mph plus also the "tiptronic" type auto transmission allows low gears to be held at higher speeds though not high gears to be held at lower speeds, i.e. selecting "2" in fact allows the transmission to use either "1" or "2", selecting "3" allows the transmission to use either "1" "2" or "3" etc, hence one cannot use the V8's torque to increase speed, any reasonable prod of the accelerator results in a rather more urgent kick down than really necessary. A few years ago a visit to the 'states prospered very few genuinely interesting cars the average "yank tank" being a wallowing gas guzzler however it is clear now that there are some great cars available in the US that we do not see in Europe, the Acura (Honda's premium brand) TL and RL 4WD are great lookers and with 258 bhp 3.2 and 300 bhp 3.5 V6's they go a bit too. -
Nearly new car running very badly 12 May 2005 (Forum)
I've posted elsewhere in the past, but the topic always seems to move on to 'don't put up with it' support and away from the actual problem, and while I'm grateful, believe me if there is any way I can get this sorted, I will! If I had cast-iron, 'always there' problems I'd be fine, but its s**'s law that the car always works when in the garage! Many thanks for your time. -
Discovering the joys of diesel 14 Jul 2004 (Forum)
Deciding to go from one end of the spectrum to the other (and the car I had before the 528 was a Jap import 220bhp Prelude Type-S) - I traded the 528 in against a '99 Peugeot 106 1.5 diesel, well, I say traded in, it was a straight swap. The 106 was up at £3795, included in the swap was a full service (which I got a new power steering pump out of) and 6 months warranty (music to my ears).
