• Porsche Boxster 986 + Boxster S (1996 - 2004) - Which boxster to buy??? 30 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  about running costs, engine seals, rear visibility and lack of 'golf club space', I was not put off, however, I am still no further in finding where to start.

Or about 2+ weeks wages, only to see them become almost free during the working life of that model. Then a rich mate who bought one

  Hello again all, Have been out in the cars for a spot of test driving following my earlier thread: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?f=2&t=25310. Basically, the Nissan Almera has won hands down. Sure, it\'s an old-man car which a 25 and 22 year old really shouldn\'t be considering

  Off the track slighly but to get things off my chest .. in 1984 I went to Mercedes' museum in Germany. As a 14-year-old I fell in love with the Mercedes S-Class. Strange, I know, but true. 11 years later we tried buying an E-class brand new for Mrs V Senior. We failed. We bought an E250D 2nd hand

  . A simple box on wheels with a steering wheel, some seats, a roof and a basic engine. It served a purpose and did so cheaply without fuss, usually.
