• Wheel trim repair? 22 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Hope you can help. Whilst trying to parallel park today, I got a bit too close to a high kerb and ended up giving my poor old trims a bit of scuff. :-( Thing is, they were nearly perfect, and the originals from when the car was new, so I wont throw them away and with the car being 13 years old

• Madness to buy diesel-engined car? 10 Oct 2024 (Forum)
  I had to let go my old and faithful diesel engined car last year as it didn’t meet the emissions criteria for me to drive it in the middle of Bristol without paying the £9 daily charge. Ever since I have been looking for a replacement which is as economical on the motorway as my old motor. I can’t

• bmw z3 - Second car insurance 28 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  !  I tried a couple of the multicar ones, but they don't work out any cheaper than the two lowest individual quotes. Z3 is 11 years old, so I thought classic might be an option, but so far all the ones I've found needed the car to be 15 years old.

• Bentley 4.5 litre / Bugatti Veyron - Two £600,000 cars at auction this week 7 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  The small print should remind people that 'investments can go down as well as up'. Ask anybody who paid a blindingly stupid price for an old car during the last 'bubble', 20 years ago. Although I suppose, as most of these people are in it for the money rather than a love of old
