How can I prevent stone chips on my new car?!
If you are buying a new "new" car, is there anything you can do from the start to protect the paintwork, especially the bonnet area where it seems to get hit with stones and gravel, etc, which cause marks, sometimes indents and eventually give rise to rust spots? It's happened with every car I've had.
Thanks,
Philip

Will Ireland move to paperless motor tax?
Hi,
Are you aware of any plans for Ireland to move to a paperless tax, NCT and insurance system like they use in the UK? To see all that paper hanging in the windscreens of modern cars is very last century and is simply clutter that does nothing to complement the great design of many modern cars.
