• The car you drive.. 21 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Thinks France is the best country in the world and bores everybody with your limited French knowledge and tales of the Louvre and the Sourbonne. Porsche Small penis or mid-life crisis. Renault An eccentric who likes doing things the wrong way around. Usually the one who asks all the silly questions
• 150 k Miles in a Berlingo 31 May 2021 (Forum)
  for the family camping holiday in France. So successful was it that the Xantia never went abroad again and was demoted to station hack and bike carrier. As a result Berlingo went way over the mileage for the PCP and we bought it outright in 2008. Overall picture is of a comfortable
• Vauxhall/Audi/Seat - Changing my 2 cars 27 Feb 2015 (Forum)
  here. Overall impression. The high up seating position of this car is great, I can see why these SUV's are popular. As a motorway cruiser it is great. We took it down to the South of France whilst my wife was 6 months pregnant and founds it capable and comfortable. I (perhaps wrongly) think
• 2 weeks in the US - observations motoring & other 13 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  incentivised. On a non-motoring observation - recycling does not appear to have been heard about. It did annoy us that all our rubbish ends up in one bin, I accept that in the UK and more so in France recycling is part of our cultureor soon to be tax structure, but the whole disposable society thing is alive
• Seat Altea XL - first impressions 21 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  , why? Oh, and one gripe I do have, the car only comes with one remote control key, the other is just a normal key. For a car that should be £17.5k, surely you would expect 2 remote control keys? That?s what my Skoda has. Shortly will be taking it to France and back so will report back in a few weeks
• Skoda Yeti - My third Yeti 22 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  at 38K miles on the front and 4mm on the back (I ran winter tyres Nov-March, so maybe 25-30K miles in total). Overall a great and flexible family car. My latest Yeti is a 2.0 TDi 4x4 (140 BHP). It is a "Tour de France" special edition and is apparently based on an SE Outdoor. The cost was broadly
• BMW 3-Series E91 Touring (2005 - ) - 320d : ownership report 16 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  on course. This is a bit of a disappointment, although I found this less of an issue on roads in France and Belgium than in the UK. And the ride is maybe a bit too firm, especially on our lousy non-M/non-A roads (I never thought I?d be saying this!). I suspect the standard suspension set up works rather
• Cheaper than cycling - Recommended to Merc owner 27 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  it is, and it’s… really good I say in a way that I hope didn’t sound patronising. ‘Is 90 percent France,’ he grumbles, pulling a nonplussed face. I didn’t know what to say after that. Don’t worry mate, we sold all our car industry to foreigners too and now our cars
• Review of 3 Scenics 8 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  are amazing. Whether it be taking a full car Inc pram to the South of France, or taking bikes, or rubbish to the dump, the flexibility of the seating layout is excellent. The dash and trims held up well even though they were subject to the usual mess you get with kids in the car, food on the go etc. I took

  and engineering. Having studied music as a child, he became expert on the clarinet as a band member in the RAF, and played it all his life. Fellow journalists remember him producing his instrument at the launch of a BMW model in France in the 1970s, and striking up with a jazz band. He was a fine singer
• Apollo Saturn V Rocket - The Apollo Moon Missions Were Faked in a Studio 15 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  The evidence that the Apollo moon missions were faked in a studio is crushing. The US government can't censor the evidence that's on the internet but...
