This week I have been searching for a used car in ceredigion, reading the papers usually works but it seems they are having printing problems every week - with their used motor classifieds not printing well enough to read the details!!! Anyhow moving on I found a good place to get 2nd hand motors in ceredigion, proceeded to find a nice sa-ab and purchased it from a young fellow from 2 miles down the road - excellent service - good local site - worth a bookmark!!
Secondly I have been looking at buying remote control cars, primarily for my nephews upcoming birthday but also I think remote control cars are great motor Christmas presents!! I found this cool site with corny genius - RC King is a funny yet useful site where you can find all the remote control goodness you need in your life!

I like to think I have a personal affinity with engines. Whether they are little 23cc ones propelling radio controlled cars around muddy tracks or big old’ 6litre lumps. I always thought this was the case anyway.
But recently my 1.9tdi just hasnt been performing as much as I had hoped it would when I brought it, the engine appears drab and underpowered. But I suppose thats what you get with used cars in the UK. I think I may even opt for a bigger turbo when this turbo unit dies, which it seems to be - maybe I will stick a 180bhp one on - should spruce the pedals up a bit!
On another note I have been having a go with this awesome little radio controlled car this week - seriously cool little thing. Its 1/5th scale so its about a foot and a half long - but I swear this thing shifts. Itd be an awesome ride if you could stick some camera to it - would need to be more than 30 fps though!!!!
is alll good

Just a quick one - I used Aber Car Sales today when I was looking for a good quality used car near aberystwyth (Clarach to be precise). The service was excellent and the cars were of a great standard. I tried several different used cars including a used renault, second hand rover, a used benz and a great preowned citreon. They really had a good range and would be worth a drive to if you are situated in west wales (ceredigion.)
They are easy to find, just type thier postcode into google maps, local used cars were always a pain for me because I had to drive miles or pay extortionate local dealers prices - I tend to not opt for private sellers because I have had bad experiences with a used bmw that lasted 3 years then exploded!
So thats pretty much It I suppose - If you are looking for a good honest quality used car dealer near aberystwyth west wales then definatly check out Aber Car Sales!

How many times have you driven to work in your used car - 50? 500? 5000? If you work chances are you have a used car and chances are you drive to work in your used car every day. Repetitive journeys, congestion because of poor road systems and your old used car having mechanical issues all make the journey more irratating.
Mr.Scientist recommends you get an electric car, cheap efficient - but just as bloddy slow! effectively taking longer to get to work, and shifting the gear of frustration from the used car cog to the slow electric cheap boring car cog. Not worth the money on aa batteries.
So I suggest either buying a newer, more efficient car, or a newer used car - something that has a bit better efficiency than your used petrol motor - something diesel perhaps - a 1.9tdi? That would get you to work cheaply, and perhaps a rocket launcher to help move some of that pesky traffic?

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.

Used cars are better when brought locally
A survey has just been released detailing the buying tendancies of the public in the UK with regards to used cars (second hand motors.) The survey asked a small group of 20000 car buyers how far they travelled to buy their vehicle (this survey was based on used cars), whether the travel was worth the saving and how they would choose to buy next time.
The overall concesus of the participants was that buying a car as locally as possible, where possible is the better way to get a used car. The survey covered West wales and mid England and was carried out by a third party organisation. The results show that travelling up to 10 miles to buy a 2nd hand car was optimum. It was also noted that long distance advertisements were actually counter intuitive to a quick successful sale. A great point to keep it all local, saving money time effort and the environment – relatively speaking if you intend to buy a used car – buy it locally!
