Pandemic

We’re being warned about the coronavirus on an hourly basis or as often as we watch television, listen to the radio, read the newspapers or go online. The use of the word pandemic is becoming more prevalent by the media, but not so much by the medical fraternity. But did you know that between 50-100 million people worldwide died from Spanish Flu in 1918-1919?

And Spanish Flu made landfall in Australia in 1919 and approximately 15,000 were dead within a year. It’s one hundred years since the Spanish Flu devastated the world and we’ve had other flu viruses impact – remember SARS?

The University of Sydney published this article about the centenary of Spanish Flu in 2019 and now we’re faced with another virus.

On Netflix, there’s a docu-series titled PANDEMIC. A very interesting story and one worth viewing in consideration of the coronavirus

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.
