Hi Chaps, I have had an ongoing problem where I seem to be popping my rear brake light bulbs on an ever more frequent basis. To begin with it was once every 3 months, but now it has warmed up I am getting through them every 2-4 weeks! Currently buying these from Halfords at £2.99 for a pair...

Hi Guys, There is quite a cool new racing sim in the works by the guys who developed NFS: Shift. Some of the guys at the dev team there didn't like the idea of making a game with great physics and then "dumbing" it down a bit for younger people to play. So with C.A.R.S. they are focussing...

Hey guys, first post here for me. Here is my 06 plate A3 2.0TDI Sport, bought it on 24th Feb and loving it - totally different driving experience to my previous car, a 1985 Land Rover Defender 90! Anyway here is a picture and some little vids of it: Cheers, Alec
