Car Windscreen Damage & Repair

May 15, 2009 by Fraser 14 Comments

The windscreen is an extremely important part of any vehicle – and unfortunately also an area that is prone to damage. Modern windscreens are technically quite sound and made from dual layer laminated glass which is glued into position and aids in the rigidity of the whole structure of the car. Windscreens don’t tend to […]

March 27, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 67 Comments

Buying A Mazda RX-8

March 14, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 284 Comments

Mazda RX-8

Test Drive an RX-8 or request a brochure Introduction There’s nothing quite like Mazda’s rotary engine coupe – that has a 1.3 litre engine under the bonnet that powers the car like a 2.5 litre.  Though some argue that it unfortunately drinks more like a 3 litre!  When the first models were available back in […]

Vauxhall Corsa VXR Arctic White

August 5, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch 62 Comments

Vauxahll Corsa VXR

For many, the Corsa VXR is the darling of the VXR range – it isn’t too unwieldy like the Astra, it isn’t ridiculous like the Zafira.  It is just right, a well balanced, exceptionally quick hot hatch with great looks.  An uprated, very safe small car that is just as much at home larking about […]

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. […]

April 21, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch 19 Comments

The Ford Fiesta.

I’ve made no bones about my passion – and that tends to be fast cars.  You may have even gotten a little sick of hearing Lamborghini this or Aston Martin that.  You’ll no doubt be shouting at the screen – much as many do with Top Gear – and saying ‘where are the normal car […]

The Top F1 drivers of all time.

March 24, 2008 by Fraser 42 Comments

This top one hundred may raise a few eyebrows; one because Sir Stirling Moss has been named number one and the great Michael Schumacher has been placed outside of the top ten. This is because in he deals with the Ferrari F1 Team, many people claim that he demanded seniority over other drivers. Clearly Michael […]

Water & Flood Driving Advice

May 17, 2007 by Fraser 81 Comments

It is likely through the winter months that you will encounter some flood water, either as large puddles on the road, or where a river/stream has burst its banks. Take a different route where possible. Never drive through flood water when you cannot see the ground under the water. It could be far deeper than […]
