  -in in 2004, still going, even though it sounded terminal back then. A D reg 205 traded in during 1994 with 115K on the clock, only hit the scrappie last year. There must be far more people willing to fling time and/or money at these old cars to keep them going than I first thought. I thought Cars were
• Rover (MG) cars 19 May 2003 (Forum)
  . Who do they appeal to? Not older-aged Rover traditionalists as they're too garish, not boy racers, as they are old men's cars. Wonder why they aren't selling? Am I right?

• How quickly does a car look old fashioned ? 3 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Just musing really. Maybe it's just me but I find cars can go from being contemporary to looking old fashioned really suddenly. If you take some commonplace models such as Mondeo mk3s, Peugeot 406s, Previous model Passats etc. they all were and still are a daily sight on the road. So commonplace

  of these things -- £4000 for a car that is virtually guaranteed to have at least 9 or 10 years left in it etc etc. Few questions: 1) Has anyone driven one of these?

• 5 Series Diesel 3 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  I have been looking for a 525d touring used - 2 years old. I was surprised that there were not that many around and that most people still seem to opt for petrol. With prices going up surely the depreciation on the diesel cars is going to be much less....or have I missed something? Do people

  A while ago, my son bought an old 1992 high mileage Ford Escort with the old fashioned keys as a runabout. He says his car was recently driven without his permission as it had been found some distance from where he?d left it. But, because there was no obvious damage to the door lock or ignition, he

  I have a car with a personalised reg, and a new car with a regular assigned reg. I am selling my old car and wish to retain the reg to transfer to my new car. Do I need to do this (and have a new number assigned to the old car) before I can sell it? Or can I tranfer the number at the time of sale

  I started a thread a few weeks ago about the best cars for legroom, but I'm wondering about the old shaped Golfs. I am looking at going to see a G reg 1.3 Golf and want to know what they are like for legroom? It sounds good. I think 100,000 miles on the clock is good for a Golf isn't it?
