• Honda Accord 30 Jul 2002 (Forum)
  have. It has no surface rust beneath its original lime green paintwork (urgh) and there is no evidence of any major prangs. It seems to be mechanically fine too, with a new WOF (NZ for MOT). For $700 (about 210 quid they can't go far wrong) and get this for insurance - $500 for 4 young drivers - one
• Road rage - advice please 15 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  was dangerous, and it looked like he was going to assault me given half a chance. Perhaps in future some old lad, or a young woman will suffer at his hands. I am wondering what I can do that is constructive. I have a mind to report the driver to the local police given that I have the registration
• SatNavs in Africa 21 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  On TV yesterday there was a programme called “My Family's Crazy Gap Year” recording the progress of a couple of young people taking their three children on a “4x4 driving adventure in Africa”.  They bought a 13 years old Land Cruiser, “...with a lot of work
• Citroen C3 - Car hit in residents private car park 3 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  My car was parked in our private car park (in my allocated space outside my flat).  The car park is owned by the people who own the flats. A young driver (who usually races around I might add) pulled into the car park to quickly and lost control of his vehicle.  He clipped
• FIAT - Fiat Dealers worst on 18 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Auto Express Driver Power verdict 2008. Fiat allegedly, second from bottom overall and worst on "Helpfulness and attitude" I just can`t believe that, given the new 500, it importance to the company and the new management seemingly having gone through the dealer network. Both of the Fiat garages
• Three quick Qs about selling privately 27 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Sorry - I know this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find the thread. Believe it or not, two people are interested in coming to see my car tomorrow. I don't have 'any driver' on the car's insurance policy - the people need to show me they have third party cover to drive other vehicles
• Be careful out there! 29 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  you're going to take. What are the roads like? Can you get help if you need it? etc. When you do set off, remember that it's probably a year or more since you last saw this weather, let alone drove in it. Young drivers may have never driven in this weather before now, so they will soon encounter
• Which car for around £3-4k? 31 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Hello all, I'm in need of a car which would be suitable for long distance motoring as I'm planning to start following my footy team around the country... but (as any woman would) I have a list of requirements: Max £4k in price Reliability is key Low insurance group (I'm still classed as a 'young
• Why do people.... 24 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Buy Fiats? Not dynamically very good nor very reliable, nor do they hold their value. The company is going bust for a very good reason. Think Yaris' are desirable by young drivers? They're for 70 year old women. And they have no character. And are expensive. (same for Honda Jazz) Use large
• Peugeot 206 SW trim quality (+C3 trim) 23 May 2002 (Forum)
  was looking at had about 6" of carpet edge detached from under the driver's door trim. What's more, there was no sign that I could see of any way to dismantle the plastic door trim to panel to pop it back in place. Annoying, not serious, but not what I'd expect from a brand-new car. Otherwise the rest
• Prejudice against BMW & Merc drivers 26 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I'm getting a bit ticked off with constant snipes about Merc & BMW drivers in the Backroom (and I'm lucky enough to be both, so I get a double-whammy). We're not all bad guys, you know - and we don't have two heads and frighten small children. Seeing as how this sniping is driven by prejudice
• Uninsured- surely I'm entitled to see the bill? 18 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  new policy at 7am when my wages hit my bank. Darn stupidly I drove in between. Our cars touched on a roundabout and the other driver was young and going at a fair speed- I was doing less than 35mph. The other driver over corrected and basically their car came off far worse than mine. I'm a single mum
• DMF's and the van connection 14 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  years. Do they use vastly modified drive trains compared to cars? I thrashed the living daylights out of them, and the current transit and other similar vans are driven with equal cruelty by their current young drivers. Have you ever tried to beat a diesel MB sprinter off the lights, they could give
• Any - Advice for inexperienced driver buying a used car 6 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  . We've decided we (my gf as well) can live with the potential leisurely pace of the engine/car given we are both quite cautious drivers and will be extra cautious with our 2 young children on board. Also we will be mostly driving on slower, local and flat roads anyway. We still really like the car

  .     However I called the last 2 garages, and they confirmed that the car was serviced by them. 3) Rear 2 tyres are budget tyres (unheard of brands) of different makes. 4) bunch of small suffs scratches in the interior of the upper door frame of the drivers door

  is particularly good as I now have 3 years no claims discount and am practically an old lady (can't wait til I'm 25 and break through the magical young driver barrier!). So I've been doing some research of my own this morning. The best quote is from the sister company of the one Michael Winner does the stupid
• Dark evenings and dangerous drivers 2 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  ). I carried on forward, determined that I was not going to be forced off the road by some aggressive teenage driver (male or female) but the car persisted. Glancing to the right, I saw the car, literally no more than an inch from mine, come forward again and then make to swerve around the front of my
• Rust retrospectively, predicting future 5 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  only matters if you have experienced it and suffered as a result? and most modern young drivers will never have. But how do you predict the future for buying as rustproof a car as possible, when a Volkswagen and Mercedes Benz can rust faster than a Peugot and Fiat in the modern era? Lets narrow
• On-road drag racing... 26 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  From a local newspaper: A young Phoenix man and his passenger died horrific deaths on Sunday when his car burst into flames in a crash which police say was linked to drag racing. Leon Jagesur and a young woman, who has not been identified, were burnt beyond recognition on the M19 leading
• The future could be bleak 8 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  their young ones these things and in many cases don't practice them either. The result will be that when their children grow up, the sort of standards which used to be taken for granted will be totally alien concepts. Ask youself how many times: - You've seen cars parked on and fully blocking pavements
