• standing still 17 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I've been watching a BMW 528 for nearly a year now on a local forecourt, it's that lovely light green, S reg and in good nick but no-one's buying. It started at 6295 and is now down to 4995 but the important thing is it never moves. Does there come a point where a car is so used to doing nothing
• £3k car to do all... 15 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  You've got £3,000. You've got a regular commute of an hour motorway, forty-five minutes country roads, and half hour through town so not just handling but ride is important too. It's cheap-to-run, and fits for four/five people with a decent sized boot. You need the basic luxuries, a/c, CD, elec

• No History 19 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  A friend is looking at a car which is nearly 3 years old. The car has done just 6.5k miles and has never been serviced. The car and seller seem genuine (over phone and looking at e-mails). But the fact it has no history bothers me a bit - should it? There's no warranty on it as it was an import

• The Speed Camera Thread - Volume 20 17 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  (Mods move this to the Speed thread if you must but so important that I put it here so that it is not missed). At the High Court today it was held that when Forms sent out after offence detected by camera to name driver etc then it has to be returned signed. The old loop hole of sending back

• better than telly 27 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  For at least 2 years I have been enjoying this Site, and now realise it has become an important part of my life's entertainment (as well as being highly informative). In fact, I now watch far less TV and often prefer my PC screen. Wonder how many other BRs have seen their habits change? And which

• Warning light on MR2 23 May 2002 (Forum)
  My Toyota MR2 (grey import) has a warning light on the dash which has started to come on quite frequently. It originally started lighting after about 15 miles, now after as little as 2 miles. The light looks a bit like an in-line fuel filter (sort of a square box with a straight pipe on either

• yellow school buses 18 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  There's been some discussion recently of reducing the school run traffic by introducing US style yellow school buses which would give a safe and convenient neighbourhood service. Great idea, but the other part of the US scheme doesn't seem ever to be mentioned and it's an important part. When
• Superchips - any good? 6 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Right, I've seen the Superchips website; it seems reasonable, and there are two agents not too far away. Reprogramming the computer seems to me to be quite plausibly a good thing, for a Jap import particularly running under UK conditions, but I do not want to spend good money just to blow up Toad
