Honestly, new cars are, in the main, a massive pain in the arse.

If you find out anything further on all this, I’ve a car I’m looking to track down, but all I have is a registration number. It’s something I need to buy from the current owner, whoever/wherever they are.

To think, it used to be a proper local newspaper, with good journalism. Sold-out crap now.

It had a Griffin on it, so it’s been unfairly panned and derided largely ever since. People’s aversion to Vauxhall baffles me, especially as in comparison to its main competitors, it performed well.

Always liked the look, drove one back when I had a 1.3 Mk2 Astra worth about £70. It was barely quicker and handled about the same. I felt so deflated. Same time I drove a Mk2 Astra SXi, that was a lovely thing compared to the Escort.

One of the most disappointing cars I’ve ever driven.

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

Very nearly went for one of these on more than one occasion. Roof niggles, electric gremlins and thirst has stopped me….So far.

They’re the sort who also shouldn’t be allowed to drive, walk in a pedestrian area or go shopping.

Tell me you know nothing about the modification you’ve made to your car, without telling me you know nothing about the modification you’ve made to your car…

Always used the autoglym set, and was pleased with the results.

That would be wonderful family transport for us, but I’d be scared of potential bills

Physically visiting isn’t an option right now. ‘Enrolled as readers’? Looked at the site and can’t see anything like that?

Oh Ash, I’m sorry to read this. Keep on though mate, as everyone else has said, we’re all backing you.

I’ve name, number and medals. Current finance status means I can’t afford a subscription, so finding much further searching a problem.
