Many years ago, I had a collection of radio control cars, stuff like the Tamiya Subaru Brat, Vanessa's Lunch Box and the Tamiya Hornet I think, plus a very fast nitro powered Kyosho Corvette ZR1. These got forgotten when I discovered real cars and other, more human-based joys, but I have often thought it would be fun to build another car and have a blast every now and then.
Being British, NASCAR is not a motorsport that I have had much contact with, but ever since one of my favourite F1 drivers, Juan Pablo Montoya left F1 and joined NASCAR, I have caught some YouTube clips and browsed some news sites about it. Since then I have wondered if I was missing something, as all I saw was lots of cars driving around an oval track, with little sense that anyone was pushing the envelope in terms of performance or 'on-the-ragged-edge' racing. Yet, the grandstands were heaving with fans?
No, I don't live in Australia and no, I don't have a car for sale, but the following sites are the place to go if you are in Australia and want to buy one! Sydney residents to go to this Gumtree link to see some cars in their area, Melbourne folk should go here and Brisbane locals here.
Shopwiki.com is a search engine for online shoppers, but with a difference. Each different section feature user-submitted information which can lead the browser to making a better, more informed choice before they buy; some of it is pretty interesting too!
Thought it wasn't possible for us mere mortals to slip in the confining cockpit of a bona fide Formula One car? Exelement, an online company specialising in extreme sports experiences, doesn't believe in impossibilities, and offers a package allowing you to take the wheel of a Tyrell F1 car with 550 bhp! None of this chauffeur driven Minardi nonsense; this is you and you alone - as close to the real thing as we are ever likely to get.
How can you resist a website that features the above advice on its front page? Yes, seatcoversunlimited really does offer customers this option as they sell, unsurprisingly, seat covers for a lot of different cars. Organised by manufacturer, US customers can happily select their car and choose a seat cover to their taste.
Living in Greece means that I see some of the worst driving in Europe, with politeness and consideration coming low on the list of priorities for the average motorist. If you live in the California, USA however, it seems that new drivers must take some serious courses before becoming a learner driver. Using the services of this website allows new drivers to take these tests at their own pace and from their own home, making a further trip to another school at the end of the day redundant.
