News : Y-Reg MINIs – they’re getting noticed

30 March 2018 Keith Adams 42

Why so much interest in Y-reg MINIs? The R50- and onwards-generation of MINI rather neatly dovetails with AROnline in many ways. We appeared at the same time in 2001, started out […]

Our Cars : Keith’s Mondeo – racking up (even more) miles

2 May 2017 Keith Adams 9

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. […]
