• Sci-Fi Cars 8 Feb 2003 (Forum)

• Insurance - why bother? 27 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  I am not suprised so many people drive without insurance today, with quotes for many younger drivers being four figures, while the fine for being caught is usually a few hundred. If you drive an anonymous car sensibly you have no chance of being pulled for a spot check by the police, hence
• WRX test drive 16 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  Just back from a test drive of a new WRX. It had the prodrive kit which takes it to about 250bhp (a cheeky extra £1800 too). Must admit I was expecting it to feel quick but it just didn't. I suppose it's cos it grips so well there is no drama at all. Excellent cross country car tho - if you needed

  cheddar, We all know that Mrs cheddar's car was speeding. We all know it was either Mrs cheddar or yourself driving at the time. What's hers is yours and vice versa. Just get her to NOMINATE a driver so that the powers that be can get it over and done with and get on with the next case. It's
• New Transit, FWD or RWD 25 Oct 2006 (Forum)

• What car did you learn to drive in? 3 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Prompted by the 2CV thread, wondered what car you learnt to drive in? My instructor's car was a red Datsun 100A (don't see many of those now). I passed in 1976 - 1st time of course! Was n't allowed to practice in Dad's car (1976 Alfasud) so the Datsun was my only learner vehicle.

  From HJ's Car by Car What's Bad Tin shed construction. 'Red Robbo' build quality. Antediluvian 'A' Series 1.3 litre engine. 1.3s are surprisingly horrible to drive - worse than you would ever have imagined. Are you being a bit harsh HJ? I learnt to drive in a Maestro, it was more "fun
• Insurance for test driving cars 13 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I'm looking at buying a used car & wondered about the insurance i would need for test driving. If i were selling a car for a reasonable amount, i would want the person to be fully comp. So, my insurance company weren't too competitive about insuring me fully comp for any car. Any other ways round this?
