Whilst cleaning the nice M-Tech ally wheels on my BMW yesterday I was struck
by a thaught.
Is it really worth spending a lot of money on some decent ally wheels,
that you then have to take more care with to avoid damage by kerbing etc.

I'm getting insurance quotes (online) at the moment and not sure
whether I need to mention an accident I had 2 years ago.
Driving down a very narrow street at 2mph,  I barely 'touched' another
car with my wing mirror but it left a black mark. The owner who was in

I glanced a fiat punto advert on tv [1] and it said it had a usb port .
Silly question time ..... but a usb port for what ? .
Can you install the drivers via the cd player :-)
[1] corner of the eye stuff - but i'm pretty sure it said usb port .

I've been driving a mk4 golf bog standard 1.6 which is not a very fun ride
or a individual car. Although its very very reliable, not one breakdown in 4
years, one broken window regulator clip and a new brake light switch needed
all common problems. But I think its time for a new ...

Has anybody tried the diy window tint films that you can get off ebay?  Most
are £15 or less, and I was wondering whether they're any good.

I wonder how many cars have been writen off in the last spate of floods,
also how many haven't but have smelly carpets?

"L" Reg, 1994 108,000 miles.  What does the panel think it's worth?

I bought a copy of a 1911 Thanet Times recently and found a report of a car
accident in it. Thought you lot might be interested to see it.
I just took some quick photos of a few bits of the paper and flung them on
my site using a laptop so if the pictures are tiny on your 24" ...

I've tried to find a site that describes the composition of a VIN, but in
vain. Does it contain information such as whether it's LHD/RHD? Does it
change with minor spec changes to the same mode?

Chaps.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get a working Blaupunkt radio/cassette
in a 1994 Micra K11 to reveal its code? We haven't got the code but I want
to move it to another car. It just says it's a code protected Blaupunkt on

I've been puzzling over this for some time.
Most cars have dual circuit brakes with two pistons in the master cylinder
and, typically, diagonal pairs of brakes on each circuit.
The idea being should one circuit fail and lose fluid, the other circuit will

Polish friend asked me why UK cars have white number plates at the front and
yellow at the rear?
So you can tell the back or the front at a distance I said unconvincingly.
She was not convinced.

I know this must have been posted thousands of times before, but can anyone
recommend an insurer for a 21 yr old lady driver, just passed test, with a
Group 3-ish 1100 cc car? ( Punto )
Quotes up to now vary between £640 to £1550, so any suggestions will be

I've placed an order for a new LHD vehicle from Belgium. To import I need to
get the lights swapped, but the price the dealer is quoting the units is
higher than I could order them directly from elsewhere.
Is there any way I can order these myself and get them fitted when I return
