There's a location not far from where I work where every single car in a very large company car park is some variant of BMW. Surely that has to be the company with the biggest proportion of ******* working for it in the whole of the UK?

I'm intending fitting rear discs to my SD1 - but the usual way involves both alterations to the hub and a stock disc from another model. I obtained some ally bells from a racing one which fit without modification and take standard AP flat discs - but these cost more than the modified stock ones. Any one know of a cheaper source? It's only for ordinary road use. -- *I couldn't repair your...

Well after some searching and angst I now have a new car. No, not the SAAB. Much as I liked that, we couldn't agree on the value. I've now got a completely eco-warrior friendly eco-car. It's congestion charge exempt, reduced VED and everything. No, it's not a devastatingly fast cross-country Pious. It's a devastatingly slow cross-country urban assault vehicle. A Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I'm down to two cars. Well, at least one of them is currently away for repair, so everything is still right in the world. -- '88 Porsche 911 Targa '95 Mercedes E280 estate

Is it to buy a low mileage SAAB 9-5 3.0 Turbo? I'm concerned with a low mileage SAAB that it's spent a lot of time doing shopping trips and has cooked the turbo bearings. Is that likely? Mileage is less than 6000 per year. OTOH it's a stonking car and I want it. The only other problem is that it's 400 miles away and I'm very, very busy.

Ride: OK, bit bouncy at motorway speeds, seems to get light at fast motorway speeds. Not like a mondeo, more like an old Vectra. Handling: Torque steer. Understeer. Sometimes both. Steering too light. Not like a mondeo Controls: Pedal feel is crap. Clutch light but springy and not very progressive. Brakes feel odd. Accelerator way too light, not much action until near the floor. Not like a...

A genuine modification question. ;-) Anyone know where you can buy the plug lead coil end connectors and rubber boots for EDIS coils? -- *Women like silent men; they think they're listening. Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Well, eleven hours into the future, but twenty years behind in most other respects. Yes, I'm now in Australia and have purchased a vehicle, powered by an engine that has its cylinders arranged in a V configuration.

I have to say I'd love one, I've always liked the idea of a lightweight "older" car with a modern engine in it :) http://autospeed.com/cms/A_111630/article.html Lightweight for now, not at the time :) -- Tony Bond / UncleFista

New shape one, '10' plate, diesel. Other than having a diesel engine, a bloody nice car. Huge inside, quiet on the motorway (grumbles horribly like all diesels do in town), comfy seats, good ride, seemed to handle well enough, decent stereo, good brakes. Oh, and even with me driving it *averaged* 62 mpg over 110 miles of mainly motorway, not hanging about much driving. I may have to try...

And I think I like turbo diesels. While the seating position was too high, and the mirror obstructive, and the washer jets totally failed front and rear (yes checked fluid and jets and fuse), generally the car was excellent. Love the low end torque and the turbo woosh, after getting back in the IS it felt like I was in a gutless slug until I got used to revving again. But the seating...

Still quite liking the Synergie - honest. It's a bus in comparison to the golf GTI, but I worked in the building trade for years. Driving a van suits me :-)) HDi is much more linear than the VAG TDI. Power starts building from around 1,500rpm, becomes useful at 1,750 and is really strong around 2,000 onwards. Don't know what it does after 3,000 as I've never gone there - I usually change up...

one small chip on the windscreen. I remember when I bought it with 2 mot last January, SteveH crowing that it was a wreck then and would cost a fortune to get through the first one. Two down, two clean. One cambelt service of £300 and fuel/tax/insurance have been the only costs. Does exactly what I need it to do, even if it is a big boring unless I rev it well. --

http://snipr.com/uu5sg (JPG of my car's alloy after a high speed pothole interface) D'oh. Nevermind, "I'll have it straightened" says I. Investigations showed that it was about £55+VAT locally, and I got a couple of recommendations just to buy a new one as they're never quite the same after they've been heated up and belted/jacked.
