...In March last year my old car (a Hyundai) was written off by my insurance company after i was hit by another car, i was therefore car-less and needed to be mobile as quickly as possible but my current insurance policy wasnt inclusive of a temporary replacement car and i would have to wait a while for the payment of my written off car so i was pretty desperate to be 'back on the road' asap - enter Yes car credit... 2 days after my accident i quite surprisingly got contacted by phone by Yes car credit (i have no idea how they got my number or how they knew i needed a car, it did seem odd and extremely coincidental at the time, however i didnt really think about it too much). The phone converstaion we had was very polite and a time was arranged for me to visit my local Yes car credit office in Birmingham so i could look at what... Read review

Advantages: A Truly Historic Event. Fascinating Veteran cars. Low Speed Thrills and Spills!
Disadvantages: Weather Can Be Awful. Brighton Sea Front Very Crowded.

...Being privileged to live in Brighton, for almost all of my life, I may be forgiven for becoming somewhat blasé about some of the annual events and attractions that take place here. Some of these are 'local' events, whilst others are far more widely known. Probably the most well established event on the calendar is the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Brighton has links with the dawning of the motorcar that may well not be widely known. An example of this is the National Speed Trials, held on the sea front on the first Saturday of September each year. This event has taken place since 1905, the year that the Brighton and Hove Motor Club (the oldest motor club in the country) was founded. However, even that illustrious motoring event pales into insignificance when compared to the London to Brighton Run, which was first staged on 14th... Read review

Advantages: It Brings Back Many Memories. Some Forgotten Rare Cars Here. Interesting Cutaway Drawings.
Disadvantages: Dreadfully Repetitious. Annoying Mid-Atlantic Terminology. Many Unfair Entries. Superficial Text.

...As many of you reading this will know, it is unusual for me to write a book review, although admittedly it is far less unusual to find me writing about cars. The timing of this particular review coincides with two events; the publication of my 150th review here on Ciao and, entirely coincidentally, my forty-fifth birthday. On both counts I felt that a little fun and self indulgence were in order, likewise I beg your indulgence over the following paragraphs. Well then, what moved me to write a review about this innocuous looking little "pocket" book? Seeing this book on the cheap book stand in our own (for the time being still open) local Post Office, I could not resist but to pick it up. Cheap? Oh yes indeed, the Selnews Bargain Books sticker proclaims "SAVE £8.00 - PUBLISHED PRICE £12.99 - OUR PRICE £4.99". Sorry... Read review

Advantages: universal safe fitting with surefix base, one-click easy fit, 3-point safety harness, can be used as part of travel system, head hugger
Disadvantages: heavy weighs 3.7 Kg, canopy hood is flimsy

...[UPDATE 2003: Buying children's car seats is an important task and with the large number of non member reads on this opinion plus e-mails I have received I thought it's time to update this.] Imagine the scene… ONE CLICK with the G-Matic secure fitting mechanism, safety harness adjusted, FIRST gear selected, the lights turn green and Ciao Baby, the italian Primo Viaggio is ready to GO, GO, GO! You may be mistaken for thinking this is the line up to a crucial start of a grand prix race when this is just the beginning of a baby’s life
