• bmw z3 - Second car insurance 28 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  !  I tried a couple of the multicar ones, but they don't work out any cheaper than the two lowest individual quotes. Z3 is 11 years old, so I thought classic might be an option, but so far all the ones I've found needed the car to be 15 years old.
• Insurance Claim Issue 2 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  OK, was at a well known family holiday centre like Haven, Butlins etc.. in the car park (with gates and barriers to prevent public entry) I went into reception leaving my 12yr old son and 5yr old daughter to get out the car and come in when they were ready. They came in and my son

• Bentley 4.5 litre / Bugatti Veyron - Two £600,000 cars at auction this week 7 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  The small print should remind people that 'investments can go down as well as up'. Ask anybody who paid a blindingly stupid price for an old car during the last 'bubble', 20 years ago. Although I suppose, as most of these people are in it for the money rather than a love of old
• Jaguar X Type for Commute? 18 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Hi, Following on from my previous thread of needing a daily commute car for 100plus miles per day. Requirements were Reliability Good Performance for Motorway Car must be under 5 years old All this for around £5k I now realise this was a pretty tall order for a car less than 5 years old
• Cars - too big or what? 27 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Been musing over the last few days about the subject header. Are cars getting too big? Nicoles clio 3 parked next to sons clio 1 is a graphic example, for a car that has a "small" image and "small" sales sector its really quite big. The new mondeo is huge, well bigger than the old granada- which
• The last subframe salt rinser? 11 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Am I one of the last subframe/underbody rinsers? Of road salt, that is... Was looking with a friend at cars a few years old today and piles of dirt and corrosion scabs on the subframes of some cars. I have a habit from years ago, of washing the salt of underneath very frequently in winter. On one
• Worth respraying a 5 year old car? 7 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  My T Reg Mazda 323 has some blemishes around the rear bumper and rear offside wheel - couple of deep scratches, grazes and marks accumulated over the last 5 years (I've owned the car for a year). A local, and recommended, body shop place will respray the bumper and rear three-quarter panel
• car salesman turned magician 28 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  Congrats to the car salesman who in front of the eyes of my 18 year old daughter (and fortunately those of my wife and I) turned a £4000 retail Polo into a £6000 car with only the aid of a computer screen and his manager behind the scenes. This trick was performed by means of various useless
• selling a near new car 30 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  Hi-- 1st post I've always driven very old cars until last year when I needed a car that wouldn't cause grief in the company car park. Now I have a 2 year old w reg GLS omega to sell with fairly low milage. Where the hell do you you go to sell privately. Surely someone must need such things. I'm
• Ford Granada - old - broken off tip of dipstick 11 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  A cousin of mine phoned me yesterday to see if I could find out if the broken off end of his dipstick,  apparently lying in the oil sump, would do any damage. The car is  a 2.8l Granada built in 1985.  He thinks its a Mk 11.  Could anyone advise, please?  
• Call me old fashioned........ 11 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8192748.stm But is this not what used to be called "Policing", you know where proper Police were allowed out in a car to give out not only tickets but also advice and guidance!!!! It seems things are somewhat circular! Hardly a new concept is it! Hopefully
• MoT renewal sticker 28 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Ive never peeled one off the mot sheet since it went modern and ive very rarely seen one stuck in a windscreen. Im talking the new type not the old ones you wrote on with a ballpoint pen for it to fade in a month. Do you remove the sticker from your mot certificate? 3 year old and less car owners
• Drivethedeal.Com 22 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  Got some prices from DrivetheDeal.com but how good are they? What worries me is they don't seem to do Part-Ex and I don't want the hassle of having to sell my old car privately, plus the fact I would have to find another £4k to cover the purchase until I sold my old one. Their website has

• New Old Golf 6 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Doing the rounds of the local VW dealers on Friday to find a replacement for my mum's Corolla I was asked if I would consider a new Golf V 105 TDi S without aircon. This would be the older pre aircon car but desirablke nonetheless. Seems the dealer has bought 50 of them from VW. Any idea of true
• Old Peugeots 20 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  Very first car I had was a Peugeot 404 - 1973 on an L with about a zillion miles. Probably saved my life when a mate (?) drove it into a ditch. Wonder how practical such a thing would be now, haven't seen one for years. Question - Peugeot's used to have character and were pretty well screwed
