  • Rover 400 (1995 - 1999) - Insurance Write-Off - Payout Dispute 26 Apr 2009 (Forum)
    another one the same anywhere, let alone locally. In the local area, there are only half a dozen Rover 400's of the same age and type - but not of the same spec or mileage. Insurance have offered £1475 for the car (already having raised that from £1100) and claim that is top book price, but I can't see

  • Blasts from the past 13 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    for the first time. Photo backs up the print I have on the wall of Mansell passing Senna at the Hungaroring* that this was one of the cleanest and prettiest F1 cars ever designed. Shame it also wasn't one of the most reliable! *THE opportunist F1 overtaking manoeuvre of all time. Page 143 - XJ-S V12
  • Rot In Peace, Peykan 26 Nov 2004 (Forum)
    Just learnt from BBC TV that the Iran Khodro Company has stopped production of the infamous Peykan, based on the 1960's Hillman Hunter 1725cc and Iran's "people's car" for almost 40 years. Tehran's city sprawl has long been a sea of orange Peykan taxis driven by maniacs, much like the battered

  • How to get a traffic hazard recognised 10 Oct 2003 (Forum)
    hard in wet conditions by one of these impatient idiots, but it\'s not an uncommon occurance - there aren\'t many days go by when someone doesn\'t barge infront of me.
