Please don't forget to bookmark our site before you leave. 4car.. one of the web's better car
oriented sites is Channel 4's 4car offering. It has
the same down-to-earth feel as the sister TV programme, Driven, and both are notable for
their informed view of imports and importing. www.4car.co.uk
Carsurvey.org.
A local, independent, and amazingly comprehensive database of car reviews written by
actual owners. This is a fascinating site covering just about any vehicle you care to
think of, and one that could save you hours of slog when planning your next car purchase.
Honest opinions from real owners that explode a few myths along the way. www.carsurvey.org
Mitsubishi FTO links. If you are looking for more information on
Mitsubishi'scult coupe, then this is the place to start.
Some of the Japanese sites are totally wacky and their use of English can be
hirrarious. Then again, it's better than my Japanese.

of Fair Trading. Tips from HM Gov on buying a used car and your rights as a
consumer. Use the OFT pages in conjunction with the carsurvey.org site and you shouldn't
go too far wrong. www.oft.gov.uk/html/cars/home.htm
Autotrader Interactive. Cars, spares,
accessories, searches and more from the UK's most visited motoring web site.

Russ Swift If you have been to any major motorsport event,
the chances are that you will have seen various vehicles driven round at amazing speeds -
but using only two wheels. That will be Darlington-based display driver Russ Swift. One time British
Autotest Champion and current Guinness Book of Records holder for precision parking, Russ
is a good mate of many years standing. If like me you struggle to park in a straight line
and have never driven a car on two wheels, well not intentionally anyway, then check out
his web site. Best of all try to catch a display. The man is so talented I don't know
how we have stayed friends for so long. www.russswift.com
DesWheatley
is a very talented Rallycross driver with a seriously quick Metroand,like Russ above, is often seen on two wheels but
sadly often not intentionally. On his new website Des lists his hobbies as SAFC,
real ale, mountain biking, working all night, welding and flower arranging.
Desmond is currently taking a bit of a sabbatical whilst his bairns Rebecca and
Dominic follow in their Dad's footsteps by having a crack at Karting. The
competitive streak seems to be genetic, but hopefully they will avoid the tyre
wall at Rowrah. www.deswheatley.com Sunderland AFC
