Can you advise me on buying an older Mazda MX-5?
I'm looking out for a Mazda MX-5, an old one, to have as an open top / second car for the summer (I'm a weather optimist!). What issues if any should I watch out for? Is there a major difference between the 'regular' MX-5 and the Jap import versions?

What do I do with a converted Land Rover Discovery?
Folks, I am looking to buy a 2002 Land Rover Discovery commercial. The previous owner had it as a passenger vehicle and converted it to commercial - but left seats in it. How can I formalise this, and is there an online calculator for this?
