It’s that time of year when I’m checking the figures I’ve been paying for various things such as car insurance, power prices, telephone and internet costs. This article is about life insurance. I listen to 1116 (4BC) when I’m driving around during the day. I’ve heard a lot of life

Hi, Bob Aldons, The Car Guy with an article to do with Wind Turbine Blades and not cars. Look, there’s no doubt that Climate Change is real and those who deny are arguably blithering idiots. But there’s an undeniable truth that until the activists actually come up with a plan,
If you have to ask how much, arguably you can’t afford it. Shown at the Chicago auto show, the Ford GT Liquid Carbon edition is only available in LH drive and will cost you circa $1,000,000. But you’d better be quick as only 12 of these highly desirable twin-turbo V6

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.
