    AUDI MAGAZINE DEER PARK HOTEL DEVON - OFFER

    If you value your suspension don't even consider taking up this Audi magazine hotel offer. On route to Killerton NT nearby decided to check this hotel out. What a pain. Like us all being used to the Third World condition of British roads am no stranger to pot holes and decayed verges and...

    PANIC STATIONS OVER SLIGHT SPEEDING

    Just had phone call from colleague working in the Lancaster area. Driving home for Barrow-in-Furness on A590 and forgot about high mounted speed camera on 60mph limited road until he was almost on top of it Reckoned he was doing 65mph at the time but thinks he braked to 63mph before the end of...

    I never thought id say this.... peugeot RCZ

    It's already been dubbed 'the poor mans TT' and I have yet to se a man driving it. A pose-mobile for girls and 'lifestyle' coaches.

    Winter - The dirty car thread

    For crying out loud has Plod nothing better to do? If you were in a Chaved-up Astra or rusty old Cavalier then yes it would be highly likely that you have no tax, MOT, insurance etc.

    Nothing surprises me anymore

    Being so critical of others without knowing the relevant factors you may like to be made aware that Asda is always spelt with a capital A and definitely spelt thus.

    2 seater soft top between 5k-10k for Sister - What would you go for?

    Have owned used Mk1 MX-5 and nearly bought new later MX-5 but went for new Honda S2000. Early MX-5's now cheap and tatty, very few good un-messed with ones left. Mk3 onwards MX-5's hardly beautiful, plasics ARE cheap if you compare with 30k cars and can't abide those contrived tacked-on looking...

    2 seater soft top between 5k-10k for Sister - What would you go for?

    NO NO NO far too bloke-ish. Most women prefer something more mature and subtle, not little AND noisy.

    2 seater soft top between 5k-10k for Sister - What would you go for?

    Why does she "ideally" want an SLK? Bet it's because of the badge. 99.9% of all SLK's and MX-5's I see on the road have a female behind the wheel so either would be "ideal". Just remember Mercedes are not as reiaible or cost effective as many would have you believe, but many can't see beyond...

    BMW320d sport plus convertible

    The car pictured IS a pre-facelifted model, that is, it is effectively already old. You should have established that fact for yourself, or at least been far more curious as to reason for such the huge discount. Car salesman love people like you, putty in their hands as they pocket their...

    Fix your A3 for £10.50 or risk the stealers.

    Is there not a theme here? i.e. Geman cars = arrogance and greed for world domination whatever the cost.

    Modern day classics?

    ...and 99% of old BMW's ( any many new for that matter ) are a bit 'council' Essex & thugish

    WHY DO SOME COMPANIES EMPLOY MORONS

    1. As an employer YOU try finding anybody these days who is not work shy, can put a few words together in an understandable sentence, speaks English, can add 2 + 2, does not insist on an hourly 'fag' break, spends all day texting on a mobile phone, can dress themselves respectably and be devoid...

    Dealers/salesmen

    Mercedes are desperate to lose their 'old man image' as was Volvo, and of course Rover never did. My experience of Mercedes dealers is of professionalism and staff who are proud of what they do. We in the UK look down our noses at those who sell, and many salespersons themselves have a...

    Goodwood FOS

    Me and a million others, but then I do live on the doorstep. An event that has become overwhelming and with too much emphasis on smoozing and crawling to the corporate money bags. Money is the motivator that just happens to include with a slightly patronising nod to the car enthusiast. If...

    Dealers/salesmen

    We all have positive and negative stories to tell about those who sell. Many have a bias because in the UK we are complete snobs and generally sneer at those who sell for a living. That said, sad to say in my lifetime I have encountered more negatives than positives. For those owners and...

    Some right fatherless sons on the road!

    Should I be involved in such an accident & was uncomfortable or unnerved by the threatening behaviour or agressive attitude of the other driver/passengers I would not be prepared to disclose my identity &/or address details. Take photos and note THEIR car detiils and personal desciptions yes...
