• Speeding notification 26 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  \' volumes, all except latest vol. 25 are not loading. I\'d therefore be very grateful if someone would enlighten me: \'It\'s a fair cop\' - I was caught by a Truvelo (facing forward A422 farthinghoe village...)

• Robert Fulton's Obituary 19 May 2004 (Forum)
  Last Friday?s Telegraph had an obituary for Robert Fulton, reputed to be the first to go around the world on a motorbike about 1937. It seems that he made a rash remark about doing so at a dinner. The rest of the table picked up on it, and he had to fulfil. As luck would have it, one

• Vehicle History Checks 30 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I'm getting a new (S reg) Corolla and was going to do an HPI check on it. Then I realised I couldn't find where I'd written the VIN number down. When we rang the dealer about it, he said he'd fax us the check he did with HPI.com (or co.uk). He has and having checked the details everything seems

• Law on rejecting a used car - help! 17 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  My mum has just been ripped off. She bought a Y reg, 14000 mile Punto 1.2 base model at deleted . There are two major flaws. First, a mate tells me that her boyfriend\'s dad works there and is convinced they don\'t service the cars (I checked - thick black oil on the dipstick.) Second
