    What financial investments would you make for a child?

    Hello hive mind of useful miscellany! I want to give a few hundred quid to my godson who is having his dedication ceremony (similar to christening). I want it to be something for him to use for himself later in life and for it to give some sort of return before he uses it. What options do you...

    How Many Peas Could I Fit in This?

    So here's my new toy... I'm super chuffed. C250d 4matic 9G-Tronic Sport Premium Plus. Slips off the tongue, doesn't it? All the toys, amazingly comfy, uses half the fuel of the Focus ST and is quicker. It has loads of torques... 500Nm!

    1986 228, 1 Owner from New and only 800 miles

    Hi folks, My car gathered some rather unexpected attention at the weekend. This chap seemed particularly intrigued so I beckoned him over. Turns out he's had a 228 from brand new bought on a whim as bankrupt stock from the folding dealer in 1986. He was still a teenager (!!!) so couldn't ever...

    Car Finance vs. Credit Card Payment

    Hi folks, I'm going to get myself a runabout for the summer over the weekend and the cars of interest are all at dealers. I can buy outright but I've read with interest some of the comments on this forum about "always buy a car with at least some finance" so that you can have recourse to the...

    A good detailer for Oxfordshire?

    Hi folks, I need a good detailer who would be willing to come to my home to assess my car's paintwork before committing to the full detail. The reason for this is that after my last service, two small blobs (stamp sized) of what look like dark blue overspray appeared on one panel. My...

    Foreign alternatives to Ace Cafe

    I was introduced to this giant orange in Montreal this evening. A rather "enlightening" VW Club meet was going on. Anyway, it seems to operate with similar class and haute cuisine to Ace. I thought you'd be amused to see it, and is been going for easily 50 years. There must be other great...

    Why does a Larini X-pipe sound like an H-pipe... and other discoveries from today.

    I popped down to Poole today, to see Martin and Myles at Emblem to give my car a check over while she's still under warrantee in case there are any things that need addressing that I don't need to pay for myself. All in all, Myles thought Myfanwy is in excellent condition - and I'd expect...
