Quick note on used bmws

You been searching for ages for that used bmw 318? Scouring the internet, hunting through local publications, papers, magazines, bmw forums, specialist sites that just have no meat to them? Me too. Frankly there are a ton of BMW 318i’s around I just cant seem to find a decent used BMW 318 - its mad - I have gone to see 6 in the last week and not one has been up to scratch, either suffering apalling paint jobs or iffy problems with the breaks, clutch or gearbox….will I ever find this used car I am searching for?

MY Multi Talented Motorbike Son

My Son has been riding motorbikes and pitbikes since he was 2, he first rode a 110cc a the age of 6 and since then he has been hooked - but what should I do - should I encourage his sport that is dangerous and addictive? Should I encourage his pit bike love until he reaches xgame status and world class? Part of me thinks I should hold back and let him focus on other stuff because in the end I want him to be a success but I just don’t want him to crash and burn while doing triple backflips off a dirt jump in the xgames. I wondered what you guys thought? Pitbikes are always fun for kids but should you take it to the next level or should you claim superior knowledge and reinforce schooling and non-motorsports related subjects - so as your kid doesn’t crash out?

Motoring in Ceredigion

I have owned a motor ceredigion for over 40 years. In fact I have had over 20 cars in that time, a large number by anyone’s counting. I have had bmw’s, audi’s, 1 mercedes benz, a mini cooper, a van - even an MG at one point. In all this time though of driving motors in ceredigion I have never once come across such awful roads as I did today in dorset. The roads are apalling - I never realised welsh roads were so well maintained!!

This one pot hole nearly swallowed my whole wheel - and this is a seven series bmw so that is a lot of wheel! I suppose in the long run to maintain my motors I should just stay in ceredigion - I mean its got nearly everything you need a drive a way - and we all love driving don’t we!!!

Finding a great deal on autos in wales

Typically it can be troublesome hunting down a nice motor in west wales. You might have to go to 20 used car garage in west wales before you find something you are interested in. Eventually it is true you will usually find a good source of quality cars, but when your in a small rural community it can take a lot longer to do so than it should.

Personally I use the web firstly to find what I am going to drive to see but then also to contact the seller. Aber Car Sales in Aberystwyth is prime example of how well this works. I was looking for a used Peugeot within ceredigion and had checked out about 10 different garages online, they all had OK websites but nothing special, I had called them up but they did not have their stocklists online or a pug in stock. Needless to say I found great used cars in aberystywth through aber car sales, they really helped and actually found me a car! very good service.

never a scrap car to waste

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???

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.
