I wrote this all about what happens when your own home maintenance goes wrong. Quite a few painful examples

Mini Haynes manual! For the win!

Just sold mine. Almost identical but silver. Some points:

I'm thinking that Land Rover might have given the US RR Sport some exhaust mods over the UK model. Over here it's quiet, despite having the same 5 litre supercharged engine in the Jag below. In that video it's quite noisy. Anyone know??

Well done Utah!

I drove one of these last week. Believe me you will LOVE superchargers after you've tried a supercharged Jag

Volvo XC90, new Range Rover, new Range Rover Sport, Evoque, Renault Clio, Renault Captur, Mercedes C 220 CDI, Mitsubishi Outlander, Infiniti M30d and a few others

That's exactly what I did with the Range Rover Evoque loan car

I really dislike turbos aligned to diesel engines and auto boxes. That 1 second lag before take-off is dangerous at junctions. Turbos in some petrol cars are OK but generally a PITA with lag (cue uproarious flaming).

I hate diesels generally. My brother loves his BMW 320d Touring which does 50mpg, 0-60 in 8.6 and has 156bhp.

Wood. Huh huh huh huh (In a Beavis & Butthead voice)

The Peugeot Onyx may never make mass production but it sure is fun to look at. Are those woodgrain fenders and doors?

Appreciate that - but it's still a weird name!

That is the worst name for a car since the Nissan Cedric.
