W13

Formula 1 | W13 Launch

As an accredited media outlet for the Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 team, I’ve waited anxiously for two things since the farse at Abu Dhabi. One was the confirmation that Lewis Hamilton would return for the 2022 season and secondly waiting patienetly for the launch of the 2022 W13 Silver Arrows car.

44 Years Today - Car Business

It Was 44 years Ago Today

44 years ago today, I started as a trainee fleet salesman at Torque Ford Strathpine. My first manager, Peter Conder, was the manager of that dealership. All these years later, I’m grateful to all the people (or most of them anyway) who took a part in my progress from salesman

Merry Christmas everyone. Hasn’t 2020 been a challenge for us all? Can you remember back to December 2019? In Australia, our country over Christmas time was battling the worst bushfires in recent memory and how can we forget the magnificent efforts of the Rural Fire Services around the country. And

Mercedes-Benz Brisbane – X Class | Consumer Rights

Dealer ordered to fully refund a customer for Mercedes-Benz ute worth $55,000. I’ve taken this story by Emmaline Stigwood that appeared in the Courier Mail on September 21st 2020 about a Mercedes-Benz Ute fail. But I’m adding some comment to it. I’ve worked with a number of customers who’ve had

Audi R8

The new Audi R8 Coupé and R8 Spyder set for Australian arrival

I’ve admired the Audi R8 range for a long time. Just consider 449kW of power at your foot. Frankly the acceleration of 0-100km/h in 3.2 seconds is mind-blowing. I’m driving a car that does the same in just over 4 seconds, but that difference is arguably the length of the

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my new website thecarguy.com.au!

I know that there’s a lot of websites that offer car reviews, car road tests, opinions on various cars and the like. What makes this site different is that I’m not going to bore you with technical information about the various cars that I review.

I’ve been in the car business for over 39 years. I’ve read the motoring magazines cover to cover. I’ve read the online reviews until my eyes were square. Everywhere that I go, I find motoring journalists talking about car speeds – 0 – 100 km per hour, standing ¼ times, the inclination of this and that at 150klm per hour on a 12.5% gradient curve, in rainy weather – and other stuff that bores me no end.

thecarguy.com.au is taking a different path on the journey to helping you purchase a new car. I’ll do my best to advise you on what I consider to be the most important information when it comes to that major decision to purchase a car. Interior room, features of the car, fuel economy, safety, service prices, resale and lots more. I’ll tell you what I like about a particular car and as importantly, what I don’t like, to find at least to be less than I think a car should have. .

And I’ll ask for your opinion. Take some pics of what you’re driving and tell me and our audience what you particularly like or dislike about your car. Because besides prospective new car buyers, there’s a lot of people who’ll read your comments as used car buyers.

So, jump on board, strap yourself in and let’s start out on the journey with The Car Guy.
