  TT 3.2 DSG? Don't want to/can't spend that much. Nissan 350Z? Gorgeous looking and modern; rave reviews. MINI Cooper S Works? Expensive conversion; great fun though; MINIs a bit common. Well preserved Porsche Carrera 2 964? Bags of character, low depreciation; min 12 years old now, so not tops
• Car losing it? Or bad driving? Fiesta. 25 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Hello again - I have a rather stupid problem. I have a mark 4 Fiesta with alloys and low profile tyres. The ones on now are Firestone (no idea as to the model number) and the previous ones were Pirelli P500 Z\'s. Recently when going at high speed (usually 65 onwards) the car has occasionally felt
• Triumph 2000 C.R. output etc 24 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  2's CR is higher, but according to a very authoritative article by Chris Witor in the latest Six Appeal, the Mark 1's carburation and specifically inlet manifold give it a higher torque and power.

• Tyre advice 22 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Hi there, I've finally purchased a Mondeo. I collect my 99V 2.0 Ghia X on Monday if all goes according to plan. It's going to need two new tyres in the near future though, so I intend to move the front ones onto the back and get new fronts. It takes 205/50/R16's, and currently has Dunlop SP Sport

• Need a fiat tipo diesel pump, 1.7 1993 4 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Does anyone have one. Found one, but then the breakers yard sent it to scotland by mistake and can\'t get it back, so another is required. Don\'t really want to buy a new one since it would be more than the car\'s worth. The old pump\'s bearings have gone and is generally knackered, diesel pump

  I have a 2001 Seat Alhambra S TDi (115bhp) which is fitted with 205/60/15 tyres (reinforced). I phoned Costco to find out the price of replacements and they said that 205/60/15's were £88 each, but that the recommended tyre for my vehicle is a 195/65/15 (reinforced) at £64 each. I have contacted

• Minor door repair - How much? 12 Apr 2003 (Forum)

Having said that, I can't quite manage to spell out the 523's manufacturer; so some aspects of 'image' may well rule out a begrudgingly-good car!!

  Had occasion to be with a large group of women (age 35 - 50), talking about mens cars. Thought you?d be interested to hear what they said. First the negative - they didn?t like GTI?s - aggressive and threatening. In fact all fast cars got the thumbs down! ?they take stupid risks, driving fast
