  • Boxster Coupe 22 Nov 2004 (Forum)
    Has anyone got any good info on the new Boxster Coupe? At first I heard there would be models that undercut the current base convertible, but now rumours seem to indicate that it will be "Boxster S" models only. For me a Boxster coupe is probably the most exciting new model in years.

  • Peugeot Boxer Engine 2.5 Diesel 23 Apr 2004 (Forum)
    Can anyone please tell me if any other Peugeot engine will match up to the Boxer 2.5D gearbox as trying to get hold of a reasonably priced S/H 2.5 is very difficult. Is it possible to convert to a 1.9D with a conversion plate maybe?

  • Divine Intervention? 29 May 2003 (Forum)
    I have just changed the N/S headlamp bulb on my Lupo diesel, a pleasant but unremarkable little car about as far removed from cutting edge F1 technology as it gets. If VW's senior designer catches his member in his zip this weekend, there really is a God.
  • Aston Martin 19 May 2003 (Forum)
    I see Aston Martin are to shift production of their V12 motor away from Cosworth Engineering (VAG subsidary) to Fords engine plant in Cologne from next year. It seems a great shame that this could not have been kept in the U.K. by switching the production to the Ford`s Bridgend operation.

  • Cyclists Not Exempt 11 Jan 2002 (Forum)
    Bit in today's Telegraph quoting Harriet Harman, the Solicitor General, saying that 700 cyclists were prosecuted last year, 600 convicted and 500 fined. She said "The C P S is well aware that the law applies to cyclists in the same way that it applies to everybody else". Oh, goody!.
