    Petrolheads, SUV owners, I need your advice (car buying)

    Oh gawd, what have you done! Now I'm gonna spend my days and my nights pouring through yet another countrie's car ads :D Thanks for bringing this to my attention, never thought it could be a viable option! I've already asked for a quote on the full s&h cost for a kia-whatever, to see if it's...

    Petrolheads, SUV owners, I need your advice (car buying)

    There are quiet a few big ones, like Australia and New Zealand. Hong Kong maybe? South Africa also I think. I seem to recall that India is among them, going with the ex-british-colony-theme of rhd countries, but last time I've seen some car show from India, it was mostly Ganesha-hand drive (4...

    Ooooh, believe me, I would love to get something from Japan! I just don't have a "guy" for it, so costs are prohibitive, and we drive on the other side. As we're in a left hand drive country, neither the wife (main user of the car in question) and parents (partly funding) would never agree to a...

    Petrolheads, SUV owners, I need your advice (car buying)

    Sorry to divert your attention away from all the juicy drama threads, but I have one last thing to ask: When it comes to buying such old cars, knowing the history and owner of the car is half the battle. So, if you know of someone, whom you know took very good care of their car and wants to...

    Hmm... ISP free speed increase from 100Mbps to 200Mbps?

    Same thing happened to me 2 years ago, when T-Home realized they were about to lose their monopoly on our street as another ISP was gonna install proper 1Gig fiber. Ofc, we didn't know this was about to happen. So my rate got doubled for free, masquerading as a christmas/year-end gift to loyal...

    Hahaha, I love watching the videos of all those SUVs and pickups sliding around while a hatchback using actual winter tires just passes the whole mess. Those kinda videos always pop up around the time it starts snowing in the US :D You are right about the "skins", but in some cases, at least...

    If it comes with that Smurfs DVD (see pictures), I'm buying it right now!

    Now that is an interesting find! Never knew such a car existed, thanks! Barely hit's the weight minimum with AWD, but it is shaped mostly like a car, has good safety ratings and pictures look much better.. hmm.. Problem I can see right away, is that it doesn't exist here. I don't think the...

    Thanks for the warning about the AT-6, that's something I had no idea about! Usually I see FWD Peugeots and newer AWD Audi Quatros in the ditch. The first cos of very bad drivers, the second because they thought a new A6 could do rally driving, like the Audis of old. There's also the odd BMW...

    0: thank you for reading it all, you must have a lot of free time lol 1: no, indeed I don't. I want a Car, but I can't have it, unless I find a job that pays 3 times my current wage so I doN't have to rely on the help of others. 2: umm, nope. First of all, it's a minivan!!! You know what that...

    Sound advice to anyone buying a used car, thank you! God I miss Wheeler Dealers, especially the early-middle seasons when it was all about repairs and facelifts, and a lot less about trading and showmanship. Over here, German luxury cars still cost an arm and a leg to repair, but you can...

    Petrolheads, SUV owners, I need your advice (car buying)

    I have no specific "desire" to purchase a used car, but there are no sensible options for a new one with our income. Good advice about the mechanics importance and maintenance, this is the reason I'm pulling towards an older X5 or an X3 in my more sensible moments. According to him, repair...

    Petrolheads, SUV owners, I need your advice (car buying)

    Estates in budget are just too light, otherwise I would have bought an e46 330i without a moments hesitation . Sadly, I don't make the rules for this purchase . To clarify, parents are worried that if we don't drive a tank that can literally crush mid sized sedans, we are as good as dead... and...

    I keep forgetting about the rav4, I hear it's a great car. With around 3300lbs for the older models we could afford, it's just too light, so it's out of the running. @Thalstan thanks for the heads up about the mpg, would love to hear more about that car! I would go for a newer model, but that's...

    If the choice was only up to me, I'd choose a Subaru any day! I like em, I had the pleasure of driving a real JDM '96 WRX STI for a couple of weeks, and even with the right hand drive, I loved it! Had a couple of rides in a 2008 Forester, and it was fine! Up until the engine exploded itself at...

    Edit: When it comes to buying such old cars, knowing the history and owner of the car is half the battle. So, if you know of someone, whom you know took very good care of their car and wants to sell it, and it fits the specifications, please send me a PM! Thank you! Hi fellow Testies, as the...

    Kingdom Come: 1M copies sold

    Demonitized by YouTube, and I am partnered by BBTV

    Fuck Google! (Says me while typing this message on my new spydroid phone...) I heard there is a new YouTube-like place where all the cool kids hang out called Floatplane? Never seen it myself though.
