    Coop, I bought it off super bike racer,'Rocket' Ron Haslam who's sister had been running it!,complete with his sponsors sticker in the back window, Mal Carter's Pharaoh Racing of Halifax

    A worse car than the Frisky would be a Raleigh safety car delivery van.

    Then you would have known he was lying. I don't think they could do 60mph down hill with the wind behind them !

    Reliable Landies.
    Hmmmmm

    My 9 have never let me down but the maintenance is very high and seems to be always something to replace-watch or fix.

    I am not at all surprised to see Landy there, they do have a reputation to uphold.
    Audi A5's have been suffering many niggles in Europe and so have the A3's for that matter.
    Even my Golf IV is getting a bad rap as there are so many sold, there is bound to be some backlash.

    I do agree with the analogy of jag and Landy owners screaming louder but since they paid more should they not expect more.
    I just drove my mates D3 my05 V6 petrol for 40km's in 1st gear.

    The electrics just decided to say No to changing gear today and Prestige(the Car dealer) told us to just drive carefully.

    Go figure, ever driven that far in 1st?

    Oh and statistics are facts but there certainly are ways to distort them.

    It is completely logical to a country that rates registration costs on RAC horsepower or the presence of windows.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Because to go backwards under power you had to have a car licence Coop,the law did change later.
