  • What are your habits? - Dipstick 13 Apr 2010 (Forum)

  • What defines a 'modern classic'? 3 Sep 2007 (Forum)
    I've recently been mulling over what defines a 'modern classic' when it comes to cars. My 1989 Citroën CX GTi Turbo is now in need of a bit of bodywork fettling, and I can't decide whether it's worth spending the £££s or just calling it a day and accepting that - to most folk - it's just an 18 year

  • Colt vs Yaris - reassurance needed! 16 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    out my wife had decided (but not told us) that she thought Yaris T3 would be a better bet. The unknown nature of the Colt (there really aren?t many around here) plus the Yaris T3?s nine! airbags were significant factors in her mind. OK, you?re looking at more like 10 grand than seven and a half
