• Which cars have 'quickclear' windscreens? 6 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  Did I read somewhere that it's available on the Skoda Superb? (The s/hand cars I'm considering are the aforementioned Superb, Hondas Accord and Legend, Lexus LS400, Toyotas Avensis and Camry, Mitsubishis Galant and newish Colt diesel auto, Nissan QX, Renault Vel Satis and an M-B W124 or the later W210 E220 CDI. Not exactly a shortlist . . . yet.) Thank you.
• mazda6 2002-07 where have they gone? 10 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  I used to see these everywhere, the model with the lexus style lights. They seem to have disappeared from the roads. The car that Clarkson commented 'was one of the best driving cars in it's class'. I know that there were problems with the diesels, but I'd have expected petrol versions to be long lasting.

• Merits of dealer service history 3 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  If I had it serviced next time by a local chap (or even the local Toyota dealer), would this dramatically affect the resale value? I need to weigh up having it serviced by Lexus versus any loss of value having it looked after by someone else. All thoughts welcome! All the best CV
• Product placement in films 24 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  IIRC Ford also supplied 4x4's for Jurassic Park. Then of course there are the 'concepts' produced by Audi for I,Robot; and Lexus in Minority Report.

• Rear-ended, need witness 21 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  However, he is bigger than me and quite aggressive so I did not argue) It was a black, blackened windows car, with an unreadable plate. It could be EDZ113 or BDZ113 or EDZ1B or BDZ1B. It could be a Toyota or Lexus but I am not sure. If anyone can make out what car and plate it should be, or witness the accident, please contact me. I have contacted the Police, insurance company and my solicitor but without a plate, it is difficult to file an investigation.
