The last good Peugeot was the 306. Start there and work backwards.

What's 'Suffolk' ?

off-road experience day That's now been replaced by The Land Rover Experience. They basically drive onto a motorway, park on the hard shoulder, disable it and leave you there for three hours until a recovery truck pulls up. I had to laugh at a breakdown story in last month's CAR mag with some curre...

I would of stuck with the Skoda and spent the money on the classics. Those Passats really went to shit in the mid noughties.
