  Noticed a few 'Car Wash by hand' are starting to use Snow Foam in place of the old method with detergent and sponge. Although the foam will save on the scratches and swirls from a sponge, but will clean as well. I've read that the foam is basically a lower form of TFR. What

  Does anyone in the trade ever see mint `retirement cars` 15yrs or so old, yet like new? I see what I assume are retirement cars now and then, driven by a younger driver, perhaps inherited? Often 15 years old and yet looking as though they have never seen a winter, or stood out in the summer sun

  No, not an old watch chain* but the seven cast off motors loaded on a Mercedes dual trailer car transporter spotted on a residential street today. These ranged from a Mk II Astra to a very tired looking late nineties C180. What was unusual was the country of nationality of the transporter rig: LT

  A taxi driver could lose his income after council officials refused to renew a licence for his classic car, because it is too old. Bob Coles drives passengers in Bath in his 25-year-old Mercedes LWB. But the 54-year-old father-of-two was told his private hire licence would not be renewed

  Being a geeky petrolhead I have found a new interest in MoT histories.  Walking around our Northants villages is more interesting than across our admittedly beautiful countryside as on a fine day there are often interesting old cars to be glimpsed, e,g D755MUD with a rare immaculate MoT
