buying

The big question is - 100PS Sport or 130PS FR? I've currently got a TDi Sport (130 PS) and I've done just over 100,000 miles in just under 4 years. As a result I still owe money on my current finance deal and I doubt my car in its current condition will cover that amount. That's the main...

I may consider turning it in to a track car. Initial thoughts are.... Strip the interior, race seat, lower it and bigger brakes. how much are roll cages??

How does everyone feel about buying new? I've been looking at a new Leon TDI and i'm thinking of buying a brand new one. Never owned a brand new car before. I will be buying myself with cash, managed to get enough so don't need finance. Of course the dreaded depreciation always comes...

hey guys, I'm seriously thinking about buying a porter cable because I've read lots of good things about them and I have a Focus that could do with a bit of TLC before I sell it (also allows me to practice before I start on my LCR! :)). Does anyone know where I can get a discount code for...

Hi everyone, Ok, so I've finally plugged the leak that seemed to spring from my bank account which led straight to Ikea PLC after moving into my new gaff last year and I feel it is time I set fire to my trusty/rusty Corsa 1.5 Merit diesel (you know you are all jealous - no stereo, seats that...
