That's the one essential accessory that our cars can't do without. I've never known a car to go more bonkers than my present beast when the...
Nice. I'm sure it appreciates it's dry home and all the TLC lavished upon it. I seem to spend more time washing mine than driving it - but what...
It's a gift of advancing years. I have a loud high pitched noise in my right ear. It never goes away but I have become used to it and in my case...
It will enjoy that trip. My monster doesn't get used much. I put 100 miles on it yesterday and I could feel the car cheering up!
I'm using a Ryobi portable. It does foam just fine using its soap bottle and the battery is good for 30 minutes.
I work on the principle of Sod's Law. If I cancel my warranty tomorrow my car will lunch it's big end next week, or throw its gearbox. I could set...
For us it was well worth doing. We're not eco warriors but we wanted a degree of self sufficiency and the ability to run an EV on sunlight - when...
You need to watch out for what falls out of trees. Well, technically, what gets squeezed out of birds. The last time I took The Beast to the...
We're running the MINI Electric as a second car for short/medium trips. It has essentially become the first car because my long distance work is...
Same here. We need people buying/leasing nice cars so that we can grab something special in year 3 or 4. It's harder than it used to be to find...
Definitely. I regard anything I spend on a car as a potential total loss, although it never is. The less money I have tied up in it, the better....
I love the depreciation curve. I might give that car another year but we each draw the line in a different place. I'd be looking for ventilated...
Older cars don't necessarily cost less to repair but as far as maintenance goes you can get value servicing from dealers.
Not one car. Five cars over 21 years. The first BMW I had was an E36 316i company car. It was the most unreliable car by miles I ever ran. After...
Sounds like you've got exactly what you were looking for on every front. Congratulations.
I wouldn't run a BMW without one. When they go wrong it can cost big money. Central screen failures (plural), new gearbox, new engine loom, new...
Nothing like an extended test drive to bring the important things into focus. It can save a lot of time and money. My local Audi dealer treated me...
Same here. I suppose that technically, the pure bliss went when turbos arrived, but the artificial power delivery is more than compensated for by...
Oli told me about your E34 Jon. We kept in occasional touch but I haven't spoken to him for years. I think the last time we exchanged greetings...
Holiday first. car second, and with any luck the car will tell on itself while you are having a break.
