  You just think it`s all gone - but you notice that ever so slight - lighter colour of the Motorway road surface. A trick of the light, perhaps? Days and sometimes two or three weeks pass - birds lay eggs and there is the dawn chorus of Spring. Thoughts turn to Summer and lolling about

  My 306 has a tendency to slowly wander to left when I take my hands off the wheel. It's not violent but means I have to keep some pressure on wheel to stop it. It's had a new O/S ball joint and a new O/S droplink. It also klunks a bit when turning at low speeds - parking etc. Any ideas what

• New car for a trendy aunt 7 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  more eco friendly (and cheaper to tax). Remember I don?t mean fast when I say sporty ? I mean posey. Her current car is a Merc CLK convertible - I think that´s the 4 seater one, not the 2 seater hardtop jobby - I think it´s the 230 Kompressor. Any ideas? I was thinking Panda Sporting.
