Re: Change of car? Maybe.
Well done bandit one up for looking after an old motor. My C5 has never yet in 13 years failed an MOT yet. I find with Citroen you need to go to a Citroen specialist (not nesserserily a main dealer) because general garages don't have a clue about Citroens. Jacks of all trades and master of non. Wher...

Re: Change of car? Maybe.
The only thing I have always had against buying new is the extra TAX and the deprecation as it leaves the showroom.

Re: Change of car? Maybe.
I had a car for 2 weeks from Hertz last year. It was brand-new top of the range Mondao Estate only 4000 on the clock and I only describe it as an old bone shaker and was wondering if it had any suspension at all. It was top of the range, had every extra you could think of leather everything the lot ...

Re: What every retailer should have
What a good idea for those with wives complain. I'm lucky mine does not care as long as the cash is there spend it. You cant take it with you and we are certainly not leaving it to anybody else when we go. So spend it and enjoy...

Re: Junction renewal - the old way
Thanks for posting that film it is nice to see what things used to be. Just think a lot of those sleepers are in peoples gardens now. At my old house in Maldon I had two very long sleepers as gate posts on my side driveway. They looked nice indeed and held up two heavy wrought iron drive gates 6ft h...

Re: TWICKENHAM MRC OPEN DAY JULY 13TH
