Emmm....I didn't say it annoyed me. I said I felt it was a bit over the top on occasions and I also commented that it made me cringe. A post appropriately placed in a General Discussion forum is created for exactly that purpose....general discussion. If I want to start a thread about the price...

.......so you did anyway!! lol

Maybe it's just me, but for some reason I kinda cringe when I see people's signature bit on car forums when they leave posts. I'm referring to the bit at the bottom of a post. Some people have a wise saying attached to theirs, some have funny jokes etc. etc I have never understood the "over the...

Apologies folks, I wasn't clear on my original post. I was referring specifically to convicted drink drivers who drive through their ban in a sober state rather than serve the ban. My curiosity was more to do with the number of people who actually do this rather than the rights or wrongs of the...

Yes it's that time of year again when statistically most drink driving offences are committed. "I got a wee bit carried away at the Christmas party"........"I was only driving a mile up the road"..........."I thought I was under the limit"......there are 101 excuses. However, my point is this...

I didn't go for it in the end. I slept on the idea and when I woke in the morning I was back to square one with the 'love it, hate it' thing in the back of my mind. I didn't decide that I hated it.........I just couldn't make up my mind if I loved it. And now a week later I'm thinking of other...

Thanks guys, I walked away from it today before I got sucked into a deal but I think I'll go back tomorrow and see if I can get something done. The more I look at them the more I think I like them. I've read a few reviews online and they all seem to beat the same positive drum. My initial...

Folks I saw it and I can't decide if I love it or hate it. I look at it from one angle and I think it's quite quirky and appealing then I tell myself I must be bonkers. I know they are completely different cars but it kinda reminds me of the Renault Vel Satis from years ago. It is a 2006 R320...

Not so much the car. more the salesman....... Approx. 1996 I went to a BMW dealer to look at a lovely 325 coupe. Took it for a drive and it was gorgeous inside and out. When we got back to the garage he asked me what I thought. I told him I liked it and he looked at me, smiled, winked and...

Depends on the type of riding style you're after. If you want the racing style then a CBR is a cracking bike. If you want a little less strain on your back and wrists then a Hornet, Fazer, Bandit or SV650 could be the way to go. My first bike was a 2002 SV650S and I rode it to Alicante and back...

Yes it was. I asked if it had ever been hit and he said that it hadn't.

Folks I have suspicion about my W204 and l was wondering how to get it checked. I bought it not so long ago but I find it seems to get stone chips very easily on front and back bumpers. Plus, someone said to me that the bonnet doesn't look like it is closed the way it should be. I wasn't told of...

The strap versions seem to be fine when used with caution on a hatchback or an estate because of the sloping nature of the vehicle. My car is a saloon though and that is what seems to causing the problem. Has anyone tried strap versions on a saloon with success?

If it's reported with supporting evidence I'd be extremely surprised if they DIDN'T blink an eye.....or maybe even two. If it isn't HSE then there has to be a department who will take swift action on matters like this. If they are informed about it and don't act then what is likely to be the...

Don't you mean.....clunge????
