    Great Driving Roads

    From Alston, carry on towards Middleton-in-Teesdale. Turn round, and do it all again on the way back !

    R8 purchase advise

    Check brake and disc wear and also if it has mag ride, check the conditions. All quite expensive to replace. Also see if engine has been de-coked. Other things? Get a manual, as early trip-tronic boxes were very jerky. And standard seats are much better than the Buckets out of the RS4. I...

    Old People in Villages

    Back in the day of Subaru’s. I would drive through a village on the way to work. Would always get aggressive looks from the women taking their kids to school. one day I pulled out of a junction behind a mondo that must have been doing 40-45mph (in a 30). Not a flinch from the loose women...

    911 (993) Turbo

    The best 911 Turbo Porsche produced in my opinion. Thought the 997 Turbo (manual) runs it close. But the looks of the 993 is just soo right. Love them

    B7 RS4

    I personally think the B7 RS4 Saloon was the best RS4 Audi has produced. My old man had one, and one regret is I didn't buy it off him when he decided to change it. The B5 RS4 being my second favourite. Everyone since has been too big, too heavy, too boring.

    What do you hate???

    That's with everything these days. People aren't allowed a choice, unless that choice is the same as someone else's.

    The future!

    Exactly. I have strong views on what's happening, that I won't post on a car forum. But the truth is starting to come out, and hopefully people will start questioning things.

    What do you hate???

    Adverts on TV. Hate them with a passion. And I always have the uncanny knack of when I switch channels, I always hit the first advert. It's why I hardly ever watch terrestrial TV. No adverts on Amazon.

    Gang tried to car-jack my S3 today!

    Glad they got some time in Jail. Even if, as others have mentioned, it'll be like a Holiday camp. But on the plus side, they aren't out and about causing misery to others. Hopefully they'll run their mouth off inside thinking they're Billy Big ******, and some proper hard nut will give them a...

    Webuyanycar.... surprising price?!?

    Sometimes WBAC do give better prices than dealers. I sold my old Nissan 370Z to them years ago. They gave a better price than the dealers. Needed a quick sale, so didn't have time to advertise privately. But they are hit & miss regarding nit picking. Depends on who's inspecting it. I took my...

    New Car Ordered - Toyota Yaris GR-Four

    Oh yeah, see what you mean now. The doors thankfully don't make that noise. Next time I get it out the garage, I'll feel the panels. But, as you say. A GR can be forgiven for this given what else you get with it.

    New Car Ordered - Toyota Yaris GR-Four

    Thanks mate. I've not really noticed to be honest, but I've not had a poke about or washed it yet. I know the bumpers on the GR are very thin to safe weight. Inside is fine TBH. It's never going to be Audi or BMW quality materials.
