Have You Been Unfairly Treated By A Garage?

October 30, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

It was revealed today that a motorist whose car was written off (and I mean written off by all accounts) by a mechanic was shocked to discover that the same garage sent him a bill for £400. No wonder you’re curious as to what the bill pertained to – it was in fact the charges […]

Mazda – Zooming Good Cars For Everyone

September 3, 2008 by Fraser 2 Comments

Generic

One of the things that I really like about Mazda is the range of vehicles on offer – whatever your needs or lifestyle there’s a car for you. They also have some wonderful special editions, something which I feel more manufacturers should turn their hand to. If you want more detailed information then just request […]

When Cars Go Wrong…

August 18, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Rarely, if ever, are there cars that go on and on.  Part of that is our own innate stupidity – we will forget to service them, or think that the interval can wait a little longer if money is tight that month.  Intervals are made known by the manufacturer for a very clear reason – […]

Vauxhall’s Handbrake Problems Part 2

July 31, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch 104 Comments

A smashed fence

Well, don’t say that we don’t care about you all, dear readers. This is especially the case when our cars disengage their handbrakes and simply smash into inanimate objects. To get an idea of how bad the damage can be, check out the photos below from one reader. Naturally, I couldn’t just let this lie. […]

What Some Folks Don’t Know…

A Haynes Manual

…Could fit on the back of an A1 sized poster.  It might seem like a bit of an odd start to a post, but I really couldn’t help myself.  As I’m known for having a bit of knowledge about cars, sometimes I get asked by friends, relatives and the like what might get up with […]

The F430 Scuderia – A GT-R Beater?

May 4, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch 1 Comment

Ferrari F430.

I’d say that currently the Nissan GT-R is probably one of the baddest, meanest, fastest cars on the market – or at least it will be when available over here.  That’s a shame in a way, because Europe really should be the home of fast, sporty cars that everyone lusts after.  However, the GT-R will […]

Lewis Hamilton, the Great British hopeful who missed out on becoming one of F1’s youngest ever champions by an incredible one point last year has managed to clinch pole position for this year’s Grand Prix in Australia. This is the seventh pole of his F1 career and should provide an excellent start for the young […]

Squealing Brake Woes…

I’d like to say a hello first of all, as a new writer to Car Articles.  As a way of introduction, I’m a writer based in the North of England with a wide variety of experience with cars – both new and vintage.  The fastest thing I’ve driven is probably a Porsche 911 that had […]

Accidents could be reduced by fixing repairs

February 25, 2008 by Fraser Leave a Comment

crash

It seems that costs of driving could be leading the UK’s drivers into leaving repairs that are needed on the their cars, this is leading to many more accidents on the country’s roads than would normally happen if these cars were kept in proper working order with all repairs no matter how minor being done […]
