A bit of road down under 31 Jan 2009 (Forum)
spent in cars and a bit of driving. All motoring in Australia was in my son-in-law?s white 2-litre 325,000kms Daewoo Espero, a surprisingly sober and European-looking vehicle rendered slightly embarrassing by the previous lady owner?s hippyish bien-pensant slogans at both ends and the word ?anxiety -

100 years of Mazda 7 Feb 2021 (Forum)
trends and methods of the times. A few things jumped out, first of these were the fact that from 1987 through into the 90's, Mazda were the official importers of Citroen cars into Japan, starting with the BX. They also, for a short time (no dates given), sold Lancia cars. Both of these were -
Where’s the joy? 10 Jan 2021 (Forum)
like such a verity of cars from 80’s Saab 900’s through hot Peugeot’s, Fast Fords from the late 90’s and naughties to Japanese coupes like the MX6, Celica and Prelude. I’m in no rush as old Terrance is as ever unfailingly loyal and there’s a waiting list for him when I finally do succumb to stupidity -

Second hand car choice - first time buyer. 10 Dec 2009 (Forum)
appreciated, particularly if any tall drivers have experience with these cars. My dad has a Ford Focus which I have never had a problem with but I'd ideally like something a bit smaller. I'm not too fussed diesel or petrol. Here's what I've found: Golf 1.6 S FSI 52,000m 3dr £4,500 and a 5 dr for £5,250 -
Hyundai i20 (2009) - A worthwhile deal? 10 Nov 2009 (Forum)
not worth the trouble, I tend to agree. But it is eligible for the scrappage scheme so a thought has occurred to me that "she" could buy a new car, we could sell SWMBO?s 6 year old, 50k Yaris and end up with a new car for the boss, even if it is nominally registered in our daughter?s name. Also -

`Respect` for cars? 5 Nov 2007 (Forum)
the word is gradually acquiring due to changing mores. "the rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate" and "you salute the uniform not the incumbent" Here in Yorkshire, the flat cap and the `know your place` attitude, still alive and well in the mid 1960`s in the clothing manufacturing industries -
New Toyota Hi-Lux 3 Dec 2005 (Forum)
Interested to see HJ?s comments (Nov 22) about the new model he drove in Thailand and the introduction of a similar version to UK. It seems here in the Philippines we are definitely getting the best of the pick of the range. The 3.0 soon-to-come diesel he mentions is in our showrooms in turbo -

the steering side to side, (n/s/f jacked up) the knock could be felt at the centre part of the rack roughly at the middle of the bulkhead area engine side.
