No word on engine or body styles yet from Nissan but it would be a good guess that we...

First, let us say that we really, really dig the Nissan Micra as it is. Sure, we delight most in its hardcore version , but even the gutless four-door variants have...

Several Short Notes to the People in the Queue at the Bank on Saturday Morning Dear frumpy woman, It's 28 degrees outside; why are you wearing a cardigan? It's not cold, and let's be honest, you're not exactly lacking in personal insulation in the first place.

Exhausts are essentially service items. Like tyres, they wear out occasionally but they are quite easy to replace. His car,...
