• I would like to invent.... 4 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I would like to invent .... An automatic speed sensitive warning sign triggered by tailgaters. It would be more sensitive in colder temperatures or when the wipers were activated. It could be something like a parking sensor which detects another vehicle driving too close and flashes a warning light mounted at the rear of the vehicle.

• Mitsubishi i-car (2007 - ) - Mitsubishi i-car 3 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  For comparison, you can get an automatic Hyundai Getz or Kia Picanto with more or less the same spec for a bit under £8000 - and those come with a year's free insurance, 3 years servicing for £100 and a 5 year warranty. Of course, they cost a bit more to tax and run, but the economics are still on the side of the Korean cars, I think.
• Another "what car should I buy?" post 6 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Would like something a bit smarter & more refined than Ford, Skoda etc (yes I know, I'm throwing money away). And wife requests an automatic. Budget: under £20k. Japanese estates seema bit big/ugly. Like Volvo V50 but no 2-litre diesel automatic. So... Considering buying new - forthcoming Golf Estate, out this summer. No final specs and prices yet, but there will be a 2.0 TDI DSG, and judging by current Golf & Passat should be pretty good.

• Am I asking the Impossible 17 Oct 2005 (Forum)
