• Volkswagen Passat (2001 - 2005) - 2003 PD130 owner's report 24 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  I?ve had my Passat B5.5 PD130 sport (6-speed manual) for 5 years and 62,000 miles, and it?s making way for a new Mondeo. For what it?s worth, here?s my impressions and experience of ownership. First, I didn?t really run it in, I just drove it. Even keeping below 3K rpm, you?re still moving quite nicely.
• Pre-reg Honda Civic 9 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Am toying with the idea of replacing one of the family Puntos with a pre-reg Honda Civic that has caught my eye on the "approved used" bit of Honda?s website. Having checked the Car-by-Car Breakdown on here, I feel (as a FIAT owner of some years' standing) that I could probably cope with the things mentioned in "What's Bad"! The model in question is a Civic 1.6 Inspire S, which as far as I can make out consists of an '03 MY 1.6 S with various bits added from the SE spec (air-con, alloys etc.)
• Renault Clio - Steel rims repair - will this pass? 2 Feb 2024 (Forum)
  Looks like he's made a mess of it, the edge of the rim is no longer bent, but its a bit jaggered and definitely not perfectly straight. Expecting at least a minor, will this pass at all? Pics: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Ajxbph3PVICGgYJc5FBnEZ__QFdO2w https://1drv.ms/i/s!Ajxbph3PVICGgYJePr360UVxv9f1ag

• Art Deco - sunburst garages et al 1 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  I walk past a couple of `Sunburst` fronted garages on the way to the paper shop. Ancient or what - wooden doors and built when? Surely it must be the 50`s despite that era fading in the 40`s What do you think of the style, on the motoring scene and would you like an Art Deco car?
• Passing clear fluid onto the windscreen 19 Jun 2009 (Forum)

• National speed limit 50 15 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  The government is to cut the national speed limit from 60mph to 50mph on most of Britain?s roads, enforced by a new generation of average speed cameras. The reduction , to be imposed as early as next year, will affect two thirds of the country?s road network. Drivers will still be able to reach 70mph on motorways and dual carriageways and 60mph on the safest A roads.
