A tale of three cars. 3 Feb 2007 (Forum)
In response to an earlier posting on the Auris - reliability IS important but not ALL-important. In 1977 I bought a Fiat 128 3P. It was great fun to drive with an eager engine and sharp handling and I enjoyed every trip. Trouble was it had lousy paintwork and rusted prematurely and was none too -

Citroen C3 Picasso - "Window Open" alarm 14 Sep 2016 (Forum)
I've noticed this in other cars but given this new C3 has electric windows in the rear I'm surprised that it's so easy for a passenger to leave a window open and me not notice and there's no alarm ... warnings for everything else go off constantly but not this most important thing ... am I -

Bluetooth Mirrors 12 Sep 2008 (Forum)
Hi all. Thinking of getting one of these bluetooth rear view mirrors to replace the handsfree kit and associated wires I currently have.

Honda CG125. 7 May 2006 (Forum)
Starting to enjoy this. The CBR 1000 went to a happy owner for £1600. No offers no hassle. I now find myself wanting to dispose of a Y reg.

Merc S W140 + LPG 26 Nov 2005 (Forum)
Direct imports from Germany are tempting, the only problem is fuel consumption. I think that all W140 use straight-six engines ? How do they cope with LPG conversion ? We're talking smaller ones, like 280 or 300 (I guess 300 is actually 3.2) ? - - - - - - - I am the only Pole over here. -

Hi, has anybody any experience of using wundercars? I think they were in receivership in the middle of last year but they still seem to be trading. They have some really good prices on Audi A3s and when I spoke to them they were UK sourced rather than imports. The site seems a bit light on company -
