    Top Gear Is Back. This Sunday

    I think he was only on cause it's his Ferrari FXX and he wont let anyone else drive it. On a related note, why did they allow the FXX on the board when it's not road legal and can't go over speed bumps? Isnt that one of their strict rules of the power lap board?

    bank bail out

    Hmmm it's a little more complicated than that but... The main problem atm is that banks refuse to lend people money, including other banks. This stagnates the market as money is no longer moving about. Mortgages have gone up substantially, pricing people out of the market so house prices have...

    Whats the punishment for jumping red lights?

    I've heard you should never mess with red light cameras as they are nearly always working due the safety critical nature of traffic lights. I'd be surprised if you didnt get done, especially as it flashed ya

    Car tax figures for the 2.2

    Mine will be going within the month. Cant really justify 2 cars and mine being the more expensive to run it makes sense to get rid of it and share the misses car. Not too bothered really, will save me some good money

    Petrol could be £1.50 a Litre By September 2008

    Im really tempted to get rid of the 2.2 tbh. High fuel consumption, especially living in/around Birmingham and driving round town. High insurance as I only have 2 years NCB. Tax on it will be going through the roof next year. I just cant see a good reason for keeping it ....

    corsa 1.4 sri

    If it's to potter about round town why not go for 1.0? My misses has ones and it drinks hardly any petrol. It's fairly gutless but then who needs power round town? Dead cheap on insurance too. Failing that i agree with Sj, go for the 1.2 SXI. Obviously if she wants something more pokey then the...

    exhaust

    Your's will already have the cut out in the rear bumper as i believe all face lift bumpers are the same, unless you have the valance added on. All vec B mid pipes and tailpipes are the same except for 1.6 8v but you never see them floating about so I wouldnt worry

    Is this the dreaded timing chain problem?

    Sounds more like the immobiliser isnt turning off. Chain problem is usually preceeded by lots of noise and bangs from the engine as the chain snaps and the pistons start chewing valves.

    My Kia arrived..

    Do they still come with the 7 year warranty? BIG selling point that is in my eyes, especially if they are alright to drive. They certainly dont look like the usual KIA rubbish
