    Planning a Euro Road Trip

    Cheers, your first route looks something like what I want to do. Just can’t make my mind up whether to drive down through France or take the boat and have 24 hours on the boat relaxing. Me saying 7-10 was just me being tight with taking time off work (I’m self employed). If it needs to be 14+...

    Planning a Euro Road Trip

    Your out bound route sounds similar to ours coming home. I was thinking of the ferry down to Bilbao to avoid the day or day and a half of driving down through France. I live in Yorkshire so already got a few hundred miles to do before we get out of the UK. Dunkirk or the war graves are a good...

    Planning a Euro Road Trip

    If you mean are we going in our megane, then no. It’s my sons car so no. At the minute we’ll be going in my wife’s Evoque but that could change depending on what cars we have at the time.

    Towing Rules & Regs

    I didn’t do that, I just s**t my pants. As for the car I let off a little (I know you’re not supposed to) and it sorted itself out. My dad was in the car and the whole way through it he continued talking away to me. I ended up telling him to shut up. It was one of those moments when you can...

    Towing Rules & Regs

    get me, I bet I could make a right mess with that sort of payload. I did have a massive moment once while towing an XR4x4 (on a trailer) with a BMW E36. Got a proper snake on while driving on the M1.

    Towing Rules & Regs

    how does passing in 1992 set me up for being able to tow a 747?

    Towing Rules & Regs

    does all this B+E testing bollox only apply to younger drivers. If you passed your test before the internet was invented, and you have every letter of the alphabet on the back of your licence can you drive/tow anything or does the 3.5 ton limit still apply.

    ***How much is it worth?***

    what do you think for my clio Silver 2005 182 (FF) on 84k Service history consists of a folder with loads of receipts, but the service book only has a few stamps in it. 4 recent tyres (nankang on front, goodyear on rear) currently on turini's, but also will come with std wheels which haver...

    My New Volvo 740

    Old tanks are cool. I want this old BM, but I've a feeling he wants much more than I want to pay at the moment. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254353972451

    The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

    It’s in the queuing area for the fast and furious ride at Universal Studios Florida. There are a few cars there from the different FF movies (I’m assuming all replicas). If you go do yourself a favour and go through the queue and look at the cars then don’t bother with the ride......it’s...

    Clio being driven like a dick at Croft

    Once the car behind me on a set of sighting laps got spoken to by the organisers. He was tailgating me and generally driving like a Audi repmobile in rush hour. Getting spoken to about your driving on sighting laps must be a first.

    Very nice cheap M3 on Pistonheads

    Very nice, warranty too. They really are struggling to sell these at the moment pushing prices down. £14k for that is very tempting

    Paintless dent removal

    I’ve had a pro out a few times. Watching him do it it looked like one of those jobs that you need a lot of practice at to get good. Depending on the car and how bad the dent is I don’t think I’d try it myself
