Treated my Forester to a set of these :

Ad here

Yeah bit late as I've already put it in but anyone know about this stuff? looked pretty good from the reviews... the Foz seems a bit happier since its been in anyway :)

(Because I always type ODB out of habit)

I put a couple of these zombie headrest covers in my car recently (design is also on the rear of them) and people have been freaking out WAY more than I would have expected. First, I go out to my car and an old lady complains her grandson is terrified of them and ran away (her husband did admit the kid needs to man…

Behold, our little car family!

Bought myself my first car today! (previously was given a '96 Clio - euuuch, sold it, and our Saabs have been my GFs, though I may have influenced the choice of marque). This is the first car I've chosen for myself - the 2004 Subaru Forester in the pic. Pretty pleased with it, its just the base 2L NA (decided the fuel…

Passed my drving test this week (UK) - first time, 2 minor faults! Heard the UK test was the toughest in the world, not sure how true this is - more suprised than proud really! anyway - no more hideous diesel Renaults for me :)

I've been getting ready to purchase myself a playmate for our Saab 9-5, something that will bumble about taking me to work and back for most of the year, be cheaper to insure than the 9-5 and become our main ride in the winter months and cope with the combination of all the mud/snow/fields that come with owning a…

Just got into the online side of this (admittedly old) game - any other Opponauts? The GT series doesnt do it for me after the novelty of so many cars wears off - whereas D:SF is a total hoonfest...

So my gargantuan research into my next car project is still going...and something else has been added to the 'possible' pile. Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin / Pajero IO. Been seeing these fairly cheap and they definitely tick most of the boxes for what I want, but I don't know too much about how they developed. I heard some…

So during the course of my 'what cheap to insure and unusal old car could I feasibly DD' trawling today (and Piper P2 discounted) I came across two utter monstrosities. First time I'd seen either, and they're not helping my 'todays cars mostly look wack' arguement. First up, this heinous greenhouse:

Was looking through classic listings today and came across this: Piper P2. Never even heard of the company before but this is certainly an eye-catching car. I like this rear 3/4 view but I'm not totally sure if I like it as a whole. Definitely something different and cool though. Anyone know anything about Pipers?

The FX4/Fairway taxi, AKA London Taxi, Black Cab etc etc. I love the look of these things, I like the way they look kinda ostentatious yet they're kind of an everyman car - anyone who's been to a large UK city has been in one of these, I like that its a '58 body style that was still being made 39 years later, also -…

Passed one of these today, didn't get a pic as suprisingly it made it past us and down the street without clouds of smoke. Not a big Ferrari fan but it was nice, looked pretty well looked after - quite suprised how small and quiet it was...I know its one of the smaller V8s they made but its still a V8.

SO much want. Anyone find £22k down the back of the couch they feel like donating. Actually, I'm not fussy where you find it.

Not remotely car-related! BUT I got myself an Aerogarden last month as I grow superhot chillis each year, and last year was a total washout - due to the usual crap UK weather and not having any outdoor space to move plants to I ended up with less than a half dozen actual chillies. So far since starting with the AG…

or

Researching Land Rovers at the moment ahead of buying one this year when I came across this Series 3 armoured 'Piglet' for £2650 - I love the look of this thing so much I'd probably go for it if I didn't need to get places anywhere near on time or turn up to job interviews in it. Never seen this variety in person but…
