  • White Van Drivers 5 Sep 2003 (Forum)
    in front of you. Whether they are some lunatic kiddy in his go-faster honda or some old guy in a Morris Traveller. Even "real" truck drivers treat you with contempt. Everybody feels your in the way on the motorway, irrespective of which lane you are in or what speed you are doing. I have a whole new
  • Variety is the spice of life 18 Aug 2003 (Forum)
    ...and I really wish I could find it somewhere. I get to try a fair few cars via business, but I'm getting increasingly bored with the blandness of them. No matter what the badge, you can spot a VAG product a mile off, Mercs are Mercs, BMWs are BMWs, Hondas are top-endy, Toyotas are soullessly

  • Rip off UK 20 May 2003 (Forum)
    HI I live and work in the UAE which is tax free middle east country. Car prices here are also cheap compared to the UK especially the Japanese brands. For example a brand new shape honda accord auto with the 2000 cc engine costs 64,000 dhs. 3.67 dhs = 1 $US so in UK it equtes to 11k brand new
  • Welding experts?? 10 May 2003 (Forum)
    Very stupidly I pierced a tiny hole in SWMBO's Honda air con condenser by leaving a spark plug tool lying around. The local aircon specialists reluctantly agreed to get someone to have a go at resealing with a weld since the cost of replacement (if they can find a condenser)is probably as much
  • Yaris Diesel 23 Apr 2002 (Forum)
    Anyone who happened to see recent messages about the diesel Yaris and the Honda Jazz might recall 'spud' having taken the plunge and getting one of the first D4D Yaris's to be delivered in the UK.

  • Type R...? 12 Nov 2001 (Forum)
    Just test drove in the Civic R and think I'm gonna buy. The six speed box is the biz and there's so much more torque than previous vtech Hondas. Handling is somewhere between the Integra and the Accord, which is just about right. January is earliest delivery, but think I'll wait for the new reg
