Pumpkin Head Help needed - new car conundrum
posted by Pumpkin Head, 03-Dec-08
Cash to spend and a whole lot of choice, but what to buy? If everything you hear is to be believed then the world is doomed, the world economy is going to the dogs and nobody will ever be able to buy a new car again. That said, a good friend of mine is in the market for a new motor (through necessity rather than desire as his Mk3 Golf GTi is about to die) but he’s having some trouble reaching a decision. I’ve come up with a few suggestions, none of which have inspired any...

AddictEDITOR Live from Autosport International
posted by AddictEDITOR, 11-Jan-08
Greetings from the N.E.C, Birmingham. UK. The weather outside is perfect for ducks, but it's the floodlit halls packed full of racing metal inside that has my attention. I am currently at the Autosport show, collecting pictures, video of all the highlights of whats going-down in the biggest event set on the petrolheads calendar. The show is already getting packed with car fans - the weekend will be manic, if your planning on attending get here early.

posted by AddictEDITOR, 09-Jan-08
This is what happens when you decide to turn an internet car forum against you – so use your best netiquette from now on. The background The orginal thread was started by a user, bragging about paying for a Honda NSX in cash that he had won from a gaming site. A few regular members sharply spotted it was an advertising thread. They then went to town in ‘Owning’ him. Check out the thread for yourselves here, at over 42 pages long and it’s...

posted by AddictEDITOR, 12-Nov-07
Who is up for sorting a Motoraddicts meet? We have so many members that we could get really great turn outs. We could run one on the same date in the UK, US, South Africa and Aus... We could even do a night drive, breakfast run etc.

posted by AddictEDITOR, 26-Feb-07
Bonjour, Merci. Equipped with a two-word vocabulary and a dodgy print out of directions to the Paris Tuning show we headed out to try out some European show flavour at the Paris Tuning show. One of the best shows on the European calendar for years. But it has always been one I have put off attending thinking it was too far. Well this year we decided to get up off our asses and head o France. Before that though, a proper ride had to be sorted and there was no way I was going to take my shed on...

posted by AddictEDITOR, 02-Feb-07
The hot star has teamed up with Seat to help raise funds by helping choose a one-off colour for a Cupra. The car will be used to raise money for the singer's charity -Fundación Pies Descalzos (bare feet foundation) that helps with educating children in her home country of Colombia.

posted by AddictEDITOR, 29-Jan-07
Imagine stumbling upon a warehouse that has been untouched for 15 years and is full of a whole host of exotic cars including Jags, Porsches, Lancias, Renaults and some open wheel racers – the list goes on… Well, exactly that has happened in Portugal – What a find! The warehouse was welded up and left for at least 20 years with its treasure sat inside all that time. No one has managed yet to locate any owner, so I reckon a trip to the sunny country is in order to ask if anyone has found my...

NewCarAddict Peugeot 107 Sport XS
posted by NewCarAddict, 19-Jan-07
The problem with low cost, cheap insurance cars is they are normally cac. But Peugeot has attempted to address the matter with the entry level 107, by giving it a ‘Racier’ makeover to try and appeal to young drivers. While the engine is still an insurance friendly 1.0 litre, producing 68bhp, a new choice of colours is available to tempt us into parting with our hard earned cash. Diamond White (complete with red and silver 'Dodge' stripes), Laser red (with black and white stripes) Raven black...

ProductAddict Project Mu – Brakes that make you go Mu…
posted by ProductAddict, 19-Jan-07
If you thought Mu was just a noise that cows made then think again. The dons of custom, GTC, are official dealers for Project Mu. That now means you lucky lot can take full advantage of grade-A braking products borne out of Mu’s racing background. The Project Mu race team spent last year competing in Japan, Asia, Europe, and the US, taking 1st in the 24hr race at the 'ring. Their brake products have been developed out of this competition knowledge. If your brakes are on the shady side and...
