• Blame the parents / children 14 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Newish upmarket housing development, lots of new / nearly new cars and lots of young children and a few teenagers. An 18 year old drives about faster than desirable, so a neighbour has a word with the parents. The parents take umbrage at ?this interference? in their son?s life. A few weeks
• Porsche Cayman S + Cayman (2005 - ) - Porsche quality 12 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  For anyone contemplating owning a Porsche my experience may be worth considering. I took delivery of my first Porsche, a new Cayman S in July 2006. After becoming familiar with the vehicle, but within the first 3 months, I became aware of a rattle from the rear near side corner, occurring

• Tyre fitted 'inside out'! 20 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  I have just noticed that a tyre (Dunlop SP30) bought from a local tyre fitter?s last week has ?INSIDE? and ?OUTSIDE? markings and sod?s law, as you might guess, has ensured that it?s been fitted ?inside out?. If that makes sense. There don?t seem to any rotation direction markings. The tread
• Audi 80 2.0E 1995MY 30 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  and there is not any judder through the steering wheel or when braking. It?s difficult to tell which side it?s coming from but think it?s the NS. Should I replace the NS inner CV joint (age & 105k mls), could it be the hub bearing although there isn?t any movement or perhaps the gearbox drive flange end? I am
• Why can\'t I be left to think for myself? 1 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Why can?t I? It seems wherever I have to steer or brake there?s a non-skid road surface to help me. To get me to ?behave? at junctions there are traffic islands, road markings and traffic signals, maybe together tending further towards confusion than helpfulness*. There are speed bumps everywhere

• Worst main dealer ever 11 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  \"please write me another with my full name\". Fine, he said and the second had my surname spelt incorrectly. On the 3rd time of asking he said he was no longer interested! [snip, snip, snip] So I had a V5 doc in 2 parts with the dealer\'s stamp and signature on it. What should I do with this I
