I’m beginning to think that my lengthy spell of Compulsive Heap Purchasing Disorder (CHPD) is incurable. I’m not too unhappy about it for 95% of the time – it’s an […]

My Limeflower Austin 1300 has had plenty of TLC this year – just in time for me to find it a happy new owner. I’ve loved my time with it, […]
It’s been a quiet year for my Austin 1300. After the joy of getting it in 2021, this year has been rather overshadowed by the arrival of an Audi 80 […]
I’ve been pondering this very issue for some time. It seems that a fair number of MG enthusiasts have taken the time and gone to the trouble of removing their […]
Our £760 2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ghia gets new brakes and continues to impress as a long-distance cruiser. Even with 210,000 miles on the clock. New brakes and a reset of the engine management warning light seem to have turned into a good-as-new Bangernomics motor. […]
Editor Keith Adams ruminates – once again – over the important matter of what constitutes a classic car… […]
I bought it on 19 May 2015, a late birthday present to myself, after selling the Renault Avantime that had been delightful company for the previous six months or so. That was a car I really bonded with, and the only reason I sold it was because I’d decided that I wanted a Citroen C6 more, and that the time was right to get one. I’d driven an example back at its launch in 2006, and ever since then, I knew I was going to have to have one. […]
Keith’s been using the Range Rover P38 for a few weeks now – for both commuting and as a general hack – and, so far, nothing’s gone wrong. But there are […]
Keith Adams Regular readers are no doubt getting a real sense of déjà vu when reading this post. If that’s you, then you’d be right in thinking that, because last year […]
Keith Adams For pretty much the entire time I’ve been away from AROnline I’ve been buying and selling (at a loss pretty much consistently) old cars, fuelling my ongoing CHPD (Compulsive […]
Keith Adams Thanks, Craig, for your touching words the other day. More than that, though, thanks for keeping my seat at the helm of AROnline warm. On a personal level, 2014 and […]
Craig Cheetham The more things change, the more they stay the same – and so it is with AROnline. One of the great things about this site is the sheer […]
Thanks to various logistical issues, and the need for reasonably clear parking where I live, today was the first time that I managed to get my freshly titavated Citroen Xantia […]
Good to have a Citroën Xantia Activa properly on the fleet again. I bought this one on 12 November, but it’s only taken until today to actually pick it up, […]
Low-res, grainy images of the production version of the MG CS are beginning to emerge from China. And from what we can make out, this Ssangyong-based C-segment SUV actually looked […]
The Mini Story is a new exhibition that opened at BMW Welt in Munich, and its intention is to show the whole classic to modern affair from 1959 to date. […]
Ian Nicholls It was back in 2001 when I had just bought my second classic Mini after a gap of 15 years that while, looking for articles on BMC and British […]
Keith Adams Regular followers of my ramblings on social media will know that, as of 23 June, I start a new job. It’s one of those ones that represents a […]
Hands up anyone who can tell us why we put ourselves through it? Classic car ownership, I mean. Don’t get me wrong, I love my SD1, but my God it […]
Thanks to the popularity of last Christmas’s ‘Crap Towns” book, it was inevitable that someone would produce a petrolhead version to fit into the ‘Crap” book genre. Thankfully, it wasn’t […]
So MGR is still talking to the Polish about getting hold of the ex-GM/Daewoo factory – only this time, it has brought along a Chinese friend to the party in […]
Went over to Birmingham yesterday to take a look at the cars from the Patrick Collection that will be going up for sale in December. The purpose of my being […]
As someone who is soon to join the clan of muttering rotters, more commonly known as the British motoring press, I am hoping that I will be able to commentate […]
