• Spark plugs 12 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Just about to fit some new spark plugs. Question is why do they come with a silver bit that you screw on the end (over the end that connects to the lead) and do you need to put this silver bit on? If you do need to put it on then why not make them that way in the first place? Hope this makes

• The ugliest car on the road 7 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Just seen the Porsche Cayenne in the flesh for the first time and I can honestly say that it is nothing like what you see in the photos....it's even uglier. For all those who think that BMW have lost the plot, Porsche really are leading the way. Is there an uglier car out there than the Cayenne?
