    US vs UK car prices

    I knew vehicles were cheaper in the US, but after a recent trip there I discovered just how much cheaper. Certainly not the most exciting car but my taxi was an Oct 2023 registered Honda CR-V (new shape). It cost the owner $28k (give or take) so around £22k. That same car over here is £46k...

    Jon Foz seat frames

    I’m interested in getting some but wonder if there are any negatives? For example, I’m led to believe the frame lowers the seat by 1.5”. Does this mean the seat belt fastener ends up being 1.5” higher and potentially digs into your thigh? Any idea how much extra legroom you get? cheers

    Evo magazine - exTrophy owner's opinion

    Been out for a spin...

    ...for no reason other than to drive some of the best country roads around me. 40 miles later I'm still of the opinion these are great cars. Highlights include the overall feeling of lightness and how that translates to cornering speed. And I still think Trophys look lovely, small with a big heart.

    Steering wheel position

    Just been out for a cross-country cruise/blast - wow - reminded me what a mega car it is! Anyway - in a very long time (if at all) I lowered the steering wheel a little, and the driving position feels so much better. Less ape-like more F1-racer ;)

    Cornering Force: overly firm?

    Hi I've just refitted my Sachs after CF serviced them and like at least one other person on here they seem incredibly firm. Now I've owned my T for about 5 years and I've driven lots of other Ts so I have a pretty good idea of what's normal, and quite frankly my Sachs dampers currently feel...

    Cup vs Sachs vs Coilovers

    If a head-to-head test was conducted to assess Cup, Sachs and say H&R Coilover dampers, I wonder if we are able to say what the results would be on the road and track? I like the idea of the Cup dampers because they are so cheap (circa £100/pair) and must be pretty good. I like the Sachs...
