• Good quality bangers 29 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  Where do you find decent but cheap second hand cars any more? Every single one we looked at yesterday (there must have been 20 or 30) was either scratched to bits, rusty or had important trim missing.

• LHD HGV Danger 9 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  This is important information for all road users. Recently my son was involved in an accident on the M6. He was side-swiped by a left-hand drive HGV as he was overtaking it at 70mph. His car was spun into the central barrier, bounced back into the left-hand barrier and then back into the middle

• Wrong place, wrong time! 23 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  at either end at a T junction giving way to the side roads. Traffic trundling along at 20-25, me in my Transit, MGF behind, police traffic car in front.

• Benefits of Optimax... 28 Dec 2003 (Forum)

• When is a New car not a New car? 18 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  you do see the vehicle you are pretty much rushed off the premises as there are so many other cars coming and going. I accepted that my car was an import,but that was reflected in the price. What i couldnt accept was that the car was clearly not new. It had a number of blemishes and had obviously

• Now an MR-2 11 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  we negotiate on price when I mentioned imports - threw in air con for free as well. Not many used on the market, and they seem to be at very high prices, but the way he crumbled worried me a bit.

• Bad day at the Office.... 6 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  him a good price for his and chipped a few quid off the new one. He'd decided to swap his wife's grey import for a new supermini. Now this was a dilema.
