For years tractors have been improving, with hugely more efficient engines being produced year in year out. This creates a similar deficit of second hand tractors in the available market. In wale’s tractor and plant garages are almost as common as car garages and car dealerships. You might drive down the road and see a renault dealership with loads of used renault espace’s, modus’s etc. then carrying on you may see a honda garage with 10 odd honda civic’s from the last decade littering the front car lot.
Then chances are you will see a plant hire/ used tractor / trailer seller - they are common place. Just an observation but the sheer amount of tractor sellers is staggering. Let it never be said farming is dead!
Personally I like the Ford 4000’s - they are great tractors that last well - good solid diesel engines that will plough push and pull thier way through the years like pigs in mud.

Constructing something can be arduous, long winded and tiring. Similar traits can be found in things such as buying a used car, selling a nearly new car and such. But theres a certain law to the world, that is if you build something of some quality, based on good (or very bad) ideals and ideas, people will see it, some of them will chat about it etc.
The chances are though your numbers will still be small. Used car sellers are a prime example, 20% use online means to advertise thier cars. The remaining 80% (rounded from 81 down for sake of article) are left pushing thier sales in the real world, with thier cars vans and lorries sitting in lots throughout wales with sold signs as big as thier windscreen. And its worked for 10s of years, whats going to stop a car seller/tradesman from continuing this technique of car selling. Well in short everyday more people are switching to the internet for its advances in finding a good used car in wales. Locality isnt that much of a concern in a growing global marketplace.
Local is however still better, driving locally to find a used car can be much more rewarding, not to mention all the saved CO2 emission’s from driving locally.

Scrap cars - who needs them? smashed up front ends, anhilated spoilers, water damaged interiors. The way we live today favours throw away items, packaging that strangles wildlife. Well it did, but we seem to be getting better.
So what does happen to a scrapped car? Well if its in 4 million pieces probably not much more than a broom, wheel barrow and then a tip. but if half of it or even a 1/3 is in tact then its likely to live again in some shape or form.
Scrap cars can be kept in huge scrap lots, scrap merchants and breakers yards, awaiting some scavenger in need of a starter motor or two vauxhaul alloys, Others can be stripped completly of parts then sold off for metal, currently in fairly high demand as wars use it up and china builds more metal based products.

Direct into my Directory – Direct me???
How many directories are there out there? All trying to sort the world into their databases so the world can ask for it back and pay them. Its a funny concept, car company’s listed in the same league as local fish mongers.
To me all these directorys are great, but they will never compare to google – the reason they try to compare is that they try to capture the whole cake, sell the whole car – instead of getting very good at being a mechanic. Google is a professional specialist at everything. It has perfected the box on its cv that says ‘everything’ frankly making alot of online directorys useless.
But not the ones that try to something different, that try to be the professional mechanic first then the professional car manufacturer. For example wheels-near you. They have a directory – great but actually yeah it is – they have chosen to have a central point to it, a niche, a longtail. They have a wheel-related directory – so everything in it has got or has something to do with wheels – from limo companys, to used car lots, from car boot sales to welsh rally schools. And they do it excellently. By choosing a niche from the start they instantly aren’t even competing with google, they are working with google. So next time you need anything wheel related (good mechanic, bus timetables or taxi’s) then go on down to wheels-near you’s wheel related directory.

I love cars!!!!!
Do you? At the moment I have a love for the Mercedes SLK. Its clean cut looks and no nonsense power is something a large proportion of today’s cars lack.
But what’s your 10 favourite cars? Audi A6 or the Landrover Discovery? Kia Cee’d or the Lamborghini Murcielago? BMW x5 or the Volvo V40? There are just so many cars out there – could you really choose?
Vauxhall Vectra or Renault Clio? Peugeot, Ford or Honda? CRX, CRV or SUV? 2 litre turbo or 1.9 tdi? V6, W12 or a 4 cylinder Naturally Aspirated diesel? The world of cars is full of differences, but whatever the difference, you’ll find your car/van/lorry/rollerskates!! at http://www.wheels-near-u.co.uk
