Re: STILL haven't seen......

Seen a grey R design this pm in Goole, but we were in our Classic Toyota camper so didn't stop and couldn't keep up if we had followed anyway. 1st one we've seen for a few hundred miles.

Re: UK/Euro Spec XC40 Front Number Plate Bracket

I've just put personalised plates on our XC40 the small plate works OK on the rear but it looks like the Euro fitting front plate mount would suit the reduced width private plate at the front, at the moment we have a full size UK plate because of the plate holder that's given me an idea to maybe cha...

Re: New from Sarasota, Fl

Re: Lane Mitigation

Whatever happened to Mirror, Signal Manoeuvre and the days of trafficators , is it not one of the first things that everyone is taught when learning to drive, although hand signals are no longer used if you don't indicate you often get a reminder by hand gesture. You didn't need to wear seat belts w...

Re: Hi from Sydney, Australia

hi to the other side of the world, I think I would wait until you've driven a few thousand miles before you go for the Polestar, I've found the T5 is quick enough and for price you don't get a significant improvement . Had my software updated last week at 3 month check up and whatever they have done...
