Hi, I bumped somebodys wheel arch causing some v. minor scratches to a
(hire) car, no damage to mine.
Been sent a bill for £200 and not sure whether to pay it or put
through insurance.

I was walking back from my (completely useless) Ford dealer after
dropping of my car when I noticed a 10 year old BMW convertible parked
up with a personalised plate which read... "L1LET".
I mean, who in their right mind would want the name of a tampon on the

I recently drove a turbo diesel Peugeot 306 which I'm going to buy,
one thing I noticed was that there was a dial which had the words min
at one end and maxi at the other which didn't seem to move at all
during the 70 mile journey.

I caught part of a discussion on News 24 tonight about some Australian
ad to try and prevent road traffic accidents and they had this woman (
spokesperson for some organisation)  on who thought them being
introduced to this country would be a good idea .She then went on to

Recently scrapped a car and the scrappy who came to take it away filled
out the above form and told me to keep in a safe place in case swansea

My husband died a couple of months ago & I'm sorting out his belongings one
of which is his old car.  Ford Escort 1.6 an 'R' reg. dk green pearl, 4
door, got 6 months tax still on it, Got 60.055 miles on clock, (we never
went far) in smart condition, he always took great care of ...

Just going to back out of my drive, when the dustcart arrived. Parked across
the end of the drive. No problem. I was quite prepared to wait until they'd
finished, so just sat there with the engine running while I fiddled with the
radio.

On Saturday I found a Honda key with its remote control in a car park. There
was no Honda there so how the owner left I don't know, unless this key, and
the seperate small bunch of keys next to it, fell out of a bag, for example,
and was a spare.

Has anyone here ever owned one of these? They seem to go for silly cheap
money- two grand for a low mileage, FSH example- and I'm very tempted. Any
thoughts or comments? I don't care about fuel costs.

I'm thinking of lending my car to a friend for a few weeks while I'm
abroad.  If so, obviously I'd need to sort out the insurance side of
things, and hand over the MOT cert, but does anyone know what else I
might have to do?

Jesus what a car, just given one a bit of a drive and can say its flys like
a jet!
Lovely interior too!
I want one!!!

I recentlty completed a 570 mile journey (in a Clio 1.2).
The car's computer reported 13.6 gallons used, whilst the brim to brim
reading says 13.25 gallons were used.
Which is likely to be the most accurate ?

I'm trying to sell a car, which went into Autotrader. I was contacted

Hi, I've googled for this but haven't been able to find an answer.
I park, on occasion in a quiet residential area where almost no-one
has a drive an almost every available space on the road is taken up
with parked cars.  Today I received a fixed penatly notice for

Is it normal for a 1997 R-reg silver-coloured Fiesta to be white under
the bonnet? I've just been to look at a 1997 R-reg 1.25 Ghia Auto.
It's silver in colour, but under the bonnet everything is white (slam
panel, inner wings, firewall etc). My first thought was that it had
