• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - DVLA Scrapped my car - HELP! 5 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  They cannot explain why someone with a reasonably healthy bank account would hear that his car was going to be scrapped and it?s worth of £3000+ would be lost, not to mention the remaining balance owed to the finance company of £3000+ and simply let it happen. The finance company continue to damage my credit history, add charges and contact me politely (as I have been very apologetic to them) whilst DVLA have stopped sending contradictive emails, offering inept work ethic and are now simply saying nothing.

• Too much power to be fun 23 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  Having a wee shot of a friends Golf R the other day got me thinking, why are today’s hot hatches not as much fun as those built in the 80’s and 90’s? Am I wearing rose tinted specs or is it true that too much power, too much refinement and too much safety gear has diluted the appeal? I’ve driven several recent hot hatches including ST Focus, Astra VXR, Mk VII Golf GTi and Golf R plus a rare Volvo C30 T5 and I’ve found all of them left me feeling a bit underwhelmed.
