• Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 09-06-2018 Part 1 11 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  Regarding 'Sheer lubacy', I thought, perhaps naively, that manufacturers had set prices that all their dealers were supposed to charge for routine services and job? Certainly Ford & VW dealers I have experienced have such prices on a poster on the wall of the service reception area.

• Music - does the car influence your choice 9 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  So does your car influence your choice of music? I changed my Ford Kuga for a Citroen DS5 4 months ago. I'm listening to a lot less rock and a lot more chilled ambient music. I suspect a Skoda might lead to jazz or a Merc (but not AMG) to classics. Any thoughts?
