Looking good, like the layout.

The pic for the car ads though isn't hyperlinked to the adverts.

Very nice too.
Bit narrow for my browser setting though.

Yup ... I like the layout too!

I use a 15" LCD monitor at work (1024x768) and almost exclusively work on a laptop at home (same resolution) and was finding that I was having to constantly scroll right to see stuff that was off to the side...

...the new layout seems to be much better.

More nit-picking!

But have you seen the latest Tuscan S advert? "ONE OWNER ( WEDDING PRESENT FOR HIS WIFE) "

I found a bug in the old system. If you have a narrow monitor you were supposed to get a narrower version of the page but it wasn't working.

I may do another version for wider monitors in due course.

Looks good. Only comment I would make is to change the size of the 4 features / shop / ads / tests boxes to all be the same size for tidiness. Perhaps also the ads below them.

Great much better i never realised there was a bit to the right on the old front page

Just one minor thing the "more" buttons are not that easy to spot

Still much better than mine

I shall be changing my name to "Mr Picky"

Hey! We are all Ted's code testers and in some cases ( Bodo) breakers

And the Tuscan S, surely she didn't like it

hmm... certainly looks swish Ted...

However, it uses about half my screen... but then I am running 1400x1050...

One more thing, I was expecting to click on the words 'Features', 'Road Tests', etc. near the little pics and seeing a list of all of them. eg. If I click on PH Shop I was expecting to go the the shop.

Does that make any sense?

Seeing as everyone else is nitpicking, the link to pistonslap4 should maybe have a mention that it's a PDF as it can be bloody annoying to click on one when your not expecting it and your on a slower machine.
