Avant or not Avant?

...That is the question. So if you were decided on buying a new audi car - an A6 to be precise - would you go for an avant (estate version of the car) or go for a standard saloon A6.

Looking at the audi a4 avant makes me want an avant, but the a6 doesn't have quite as much flair in my opinion. I mean it ticks all the boxes, looks hot and goes like a nuclear missle but does it really cut it against the E class equivelant? I am really unsure whether to go and find an audi a4 avant for sale in an auction and buy that - because even though I wan't an a6 the audi a4 avant is just so sweet - with full leather interior, alloys, tri-zone climate control etc of course!!! I am pretty indecisive though - oooo its tempting!

V12 Vanquish...ouch

When it comes to aston martins I am a pretty done deal - I really don't think anyone who has handed over the cash to buy an aston martin has ever regretted it, not like those honda hangovers. Today I got to drive a V12 Vanquish - and ohhhh what a car - this thing goes 0-100 in less time than it takes a bus to rust, with a sound that shows what the other 4 cylinders over the v8 vantage are for. This is a mans car, a proper car, perhaps the car? is a used v12 vanquish for sale in surrey really THE car- the one I want forever more? I really really think it is!!! long live the vanquish miles.

Fourtrak or Moretrak?

Starting out as a competition between different traction vehicles I now am immersed in a big debate - which would better pull a trailer from a muddy field - a naturally habitant, lightweight (in comparison) secondhand daihatsu fourtrak or a more modern but a lot more heavy duty mercedes sprinter van. Now you would think that the 4x4 would wipe the floor with a big old german white van but it didn't when we tested it - I was gobsmacked - how is a huge van with poor tyres (grip depth wise compared to the 4x4) beating a 4x4 in the towing challenge - surely thats not really a possibility. Perhaps the germans have done it with clever traction control...more testing I think.

UK Cars..

I know I remain off topic kinda but one day soon I will get back to the awesome car a day rule, I promise! anyway I thought I would just chime in about the state of cars in the uk. Thats 3 used daewoo cars I have seen crashed in a week - thats got to have been some sort of nightmare statistic from the news or something. I don't know whether the older used daewoo saloons are just brought by crazy drivers or whether its a fault of the car. I mean the car is very average and very boring so I would hazard a guess as the drivers are too blame myself...crazy coincidence maybe.

Used Cars For Sale

I know its been a while since I have posted properly on here - no need to remind me - I will be back to the cars asap - but just to let y'all know the reason I have been slowing recently has been my latest used cars for sale source - this place rules so buying and selling cars has almost completely taken me over for the last few weeks - its at this blogs detriment but still its so much fun! being a proper used car trader is like being in a film or tv series - its loads of fun as long as you stick with what you know - for me thats german used cars but for you its whatever your speciality is!

Ferrari vs Daewoo

Most People wouldn't bother comparing ferrari videos with the likes of Used Daewoo's, I mean its clear who's the winner yer? - No competition the italian supercar will always win?


Well no actually. You see theres another battle going on in the car world, a battle which pits Ferrari F430s for sale against cheap, very cheap daewoo's and imported metal. And theres more to it than just used cars, Its also apparent that people literally love the cheapness. I mean a car that costs less new than a 40 year old broken ferrari is surely not cool right?. but some people think it is - this is probably the same sort of people that walk passed a sign saying used ferrari's only to sigh and say "whats wrong with the world". Its all about the ferrari's trust me - no one really wants a cheaper than 10k car - at all.

Porsche 997 GT3 RSR Evo(lution?)

Cobble together someway of using the eyes of a leopard with some rear tyres of a dragster and a carbon firbe fin Janeway would be proud of, sling that at a Porsche GT and your away. Just look at this white hunk of insanity. Like a Porsche brand lunatic it wields a smile that would probably eat you at 180mph.

Auto Repair - Mechanics...*Sigh*

The world of auto repair never really struck a bone with me, had too many garage bills that seem extortionate and well over priced. But In the end I put my experiences with Auto Repair down to a learning curve. I seriously reckon if you get 1 decent garage out of all the Auto Repair Shops that you effectively have your motoring sorted for life.

This one I found (see previous linkage) based in texas, actually has a webcam rigged up so you can see every bit of auto repair work being done to your motor, from the mechanic changing the wheel to a whole engine rebuild - pretty cool use of technology and investment in good morals. Although it does make you think they must be pretty damn trustworthy!

Another thing they do which I havent seen done elsewhere is deal with Auto Repair Coupons, that is give out coupons that can be redeemed against auto repairs with other purchases, charity donations, as well as the traditional use of discount coupons etc.

All in All a pretty impressive leap forward, while I maintain that finding a good mechanic may take you a few years, but when you have one - stick with them!

Renault R28 - Yellow madness?

When you think of formula one, renault is a name that comes in to your head almost as much as ferrari and mclaren. This car further alliterates this slight french grip on f1. Their cars may be shockingly standard in real life, but this is one french car you won't find in a used car for sale lot ever. With carbon ceramic breaks that if fitted to a horse and cart would be the last straw that broke the shire horses back and a front nose that is worthy only of a satan grade smile. If you painted it black this thing would be a land going fighter jet.

• Engine: RS27 90º V 8
• Naturally Aspirated
• Rear wheel drive
• Gears: Paddle-operated 7 speed Sequential
• Breaking: vented carbon ceramic discs, all-round

This car is truly a mentalist - unlike a used daihatsu its got a hell of a lot of guts.

Ford Focus RS WRC 08

When talking about the standardly gross ford focus rs I would not be someone who would praise it. I think its crass, loud and frankly grim. But I know it appeals to a certain car driving market and as such will always be brought and driven. Its a personal choice and I think the germans do it better than anyone. Anyway take a look at this - not quite your average ford focus eh? This is the one exception to the rule of "i do not want to get in that ford focus" - just look at it.
