  1. In Kandy For most repairs Willys Automobiles, Peradeniya - Personally recommended.
  2. I think the media is playing a huge part to distance customer from Toyota because it's not an American brand
  3. There's word out the 'runaway Prius' incident MIGHT have been staged by the owner. Lets wait and see. The problem is the average American driver doesn't know to shift into neutral when the in trouble. Some people are saying the shifter gets locked. But from the 911 call this Prius driver never even attempts it...
  4. I think that's a convert
  5. A silver one with GM plates has been at many car sales for a long time... and there was one advertised on AL classifieds which I think is a convert.
  6. You're in for a long search. There is probably less than 20 original Glanza Vs.
  7. Just saw some pictures. Most damage is it to the undercarriage. Body seems almost intact. I doubt he was doing 240kmph. He probably was at one point of the drive, but not before he hit. 240kmph would've done far more damage. Wrong car in the wrong hands....
  8. Latest news. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Hummer-faces...l?x=0&.v=34
  9. Does the government even listen to IMF? The way it's acting I don't think they are concerned about what the international community thinks. That seem to to have both good and bad consequences. Good thing is that we won't be run by western powers. Bad thing is we'll end up in the list with rowdy countries like Iran, Libya and China. But the difference is Iran and Libya has oil money. China has both money and power. They can stand up on their own. We have nothing to stand up against then rest of the world.
  10. Congrats on the new job! Special discounts for AL members?
  11. Probably replaced the bumper with a M3 bumper. Side inserts are the gills you see on the front side fendors. They came on on the m3. So there's a big chance either the fendors were also replaced or else they were cut to fits the side gills.
  12. Me= Family guy. I have conversations in the car. LOL
  13. This is what it sounds like. Crank up the volume... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajg5R40uHG8
  14. Also the local agents are only responsible for vehicles they bring down. And customer service is not the number one priority in our kind of market.
  15. That must be one of the very few automatics in SL, and perhaps the only e36 323?
  16. It's not 'cut' and its not 'bud'. For it to be a 'cut' the car has to be taken apart at one point and then put together 'bud'. That never happens with a new car. If what you're saying is true - any brand new car would be a cut & bud because it has to be assembled at one point.
  17. Word is popping up that there is more of media circus about this (perhaps backed by US automakers and their stakeholders) than the actual problem http://www.caranddriver.com/news/car/10q1/...ivers-editorial
  18. Maybe it's 40% but that is 40% out of the 400% tax and not just 40% on the CIF value of the parts.
  19. Did he do that? ROTFL
  20. And part of the "Holdings" group. So they run a monopoly just as in a dictatorship.... However I had a chat with Dr. Lawrence the chairman of Micro cars a longtime back before the rulers put their hands into it. They don't get a 100% tax break. They get about 40% off of the original 400% duty on diesel cars. If the Rexton was to be brought down brand new it will cost 14mil with tax. Locally assembled market price was 7.5 mil. Seemed logical back then. I don't know what the price are now.
  21. Hyundai just overtook Ford as the 4th largest auto manufacturer. I think the times we looked down on Korean cars are soon to be over...
  22. I think most waxes are not to be used on plastic and rubber. Also good old brasso and compound works too, but they are abrasive. This is a recommended product for this kind of use. http://meguiarsdirect.com/detail/MEG+G12310

    Aren't the tires sticking out a bit too much
  24. Lot of nice cars including this one.... 4.2 Audi V8 http://www.autobotswana.com/ad.asp?ID=62
  25. The diesels are perceived to have higher maintenance costs.
