• Suggestions for 'sports' car? 10 May 2007 (Forum)
  be between £9,000 and £11,000 (after selling the Volvo). At first I thought about a Honda S2000, but a quick look at Autotrader showed only a few imports from Japan and 2000 registered models (I'd prefer the new car to be 4 years old max.) Never been keen on BMW's, a Lotus Elise and MX-5 are too small, so
• MOT test conundrum 18 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  This has come up because of the revelation in another thread that you can check your cars MOT history on the VOSA website. It's not at all important, but I just can't get my head around it. I bought my car in February. At that time it had a private plate, so was re-registered by the dealers
